The Marx Brothers: Monkey Business / Duck Soup / A Day at the Races
How many times have you missed the best bits of a Marx Brothers movie, failing to catch Groucho's famous one-liners because you were still laughing at the bit with Harpo and the zipped-up banana? And what about the lemonade stall? The mirror section? And the blue-tined ballet sequence?
This book offers what the videos can't, ant that's a short cut to some of the funniest films of all time — Monkey Business (1931), Duck Soup (1933), and A Day at the Races (1937) — scripted by some of the wittiest screenwriters Hollywood ever produced.
In addition to a generous number of stills from each movie, this bumper edition also includes a cast and production crew list for movie buffs as well as an Introduction by Karl French.
