Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] References

This article does not cite its references or sources. Although I believe that some of the statements are true, this article still needs sources. Back up statements made in the article with proof of facts. (Ibaranoff24 00:15, 23 April 2006 (UTC))

• Aside from the assertion about its ranking in gross receipts, what questions do you have? Wahkeenah 05:19, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm about to remove this item from the Trivia section:

• Kaufmann usually did not allow actors to adlib lines for his scripts, but made an exception for Groucho.

because, as far as I know, Kaufman was not involved with this particular movie. It should be on the page for The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers, and/or A Night at the Opera, if it isn't already. Richard K. Carson 02:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marxian?

Maybe that usage is incorrect, maybe not, but the a-none who tried to change it is employing a little "Marxism" in trying to unilaterally tell us what to do. Wahkeenah 23:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Freedonia

The article at Freedonia is largely about Duck Soup anyway, so I'm suggesting that we merge the two. (FWIW, it also shares the lack of sourcing problem that this article faces.) | Mr. Darcy talk 05:52, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

• A sizable portion, though not all, of the article appears to be based on the film itself. The references in the Freedonia article, aside from restatement, could be summarized in the trivia section for Duck Soup. I am inclined to agree that a separate article about Freedonia is not needed.

• Taking another look at it, it seems like the Freedonia page needs to be retained as a disambiguation page, as there is extra info not pertaining to the film. Wahkeenah 06:51, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
