This is the most popular of the Marx Brothers films - so claim the Propeller-Beanies at Wikipedia. It's the one with the mirror routine. Link in comments.
We'll never have screen credits like that again. You can hear all the PC animal rights people crying "they're boiling those poor ducks alive", but they look so happy in that cauldron. As for a great Marx Brothers film, all of them are great up to A Night In Casablanca.
The first visual gag of ducks swimming in a large boiling cauldron is more than a nod to the nonsensical title of the film. Indeed, the inter-war years saw a world which was very much a boiling cauldron; one where the Depression had hit the world, democracy and capitalism were in crisis and fascism had emerged as a real danger to the world.
