Duck Soup Trivia
Trivia about the movie. Here's one:
"Shortly before this film premiered, the city of Fredonia, New York, complained about the use of its name with an additional "e". The Marx Brothers' response was: 'Change the name of your town, it's hurting our picture.'"

I recently performed in Fredonia and could not get "Hail! Hail Freedonia!" out of my head.
