Promotional Poster for "Horse Feathers"

It centers around, among other things, college football and a game between the fictional Darwin and Huxley Colleges. Many of the jokes about the amateur status of collegiate football players and how eligibility rules are stretched by collegiate athletic departments remain remarkably current. Groucho, of course, is the head of the college, and Zeppo is his son.

The part of the anatomy professor is played by Robert Greig, a character actor, who appeared in over 100 films, many in the role of a butler. He also appeared with the Marx Brothers in Animal Crackers.

The film contains the song "Everyone Says I Love You" by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby.

In one clever bit, Harpo and Chico saw their way out of a locked room, where they are being kept prisoners, with their clothes removed (see image).
