Westminster Presents a Free Screening of

In Leo McCarey’s 1933 film “Duck Soup,” starring the Marx Brothers, the small state of Freedonia is in a financial mess, and must borrow a huge sum of cash from wealthy widow Mrs. Teasdale. She insists on replacing the current president with crazy Rufus T. Firefly and mayhem erupts. To make matters worse, the neighboring state sends inept spies Chicolini and Pinky to obtain top secret information, creating even more chaos! When the two leaders cannot resolve their dispute, war is declared, and Mrs. Teasdale's house comes under attack. Who will save the day? In partnership with the Salt Lake Film Society, the presentation of “Duck Soup” is part of a series of film screenings that will appear at the Tower Theatre throughout the school year. Forrest Bennet, a Westminster alumnus, will introduce the film. All Ivory Tower film screenings are free and open to the public and will be shown on 35 mm prints.
