Crackers (1930)
In this early Marx Brothers film:

Spaulding (Groucho Marx) - Groucho's most celebrated character
- leading the rousing "Hooray for Captain Spaulding!" (Groucho's
familiar theme song)
- the leg-holding scene
- the unbelievable boxing/wrestling match between the
Professor (Harpo Marx) and Mrs. Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont)
- the lunatic bridge game
- Spaulding's greatest monologue about his African
exploits
- the business letter dictation scene
- the verbal nonsensical duels of wits between Spaulding
and Ravelli (Chico Marx)
- the Professor's famous silverware-dropping routine
