Starring the Marx Brothers, Lillian Roth and Louis Sorin. The legendary comedy team of Jewish brothers from the stages of vaudeville, the great Marx Brothers, star in their second talkie, Animal Crackers.

The script for this classic comes from three great Jewish masters of cinema, George Kaufman, Morrie Ryskind and Bert Kalmar, based on the stage musical by great Jewish Broadway man, Harry Ruby and the whole production was led by the infamous Walter Wanger, a legendary Jewish figure in Hollywood production.
