Good clean fun with a tinge of mischievous state of affairs. Whole disk, very little content.įar as the movies themselves, what can I say about one of the most widely known and esteemed comedy teams of the 20th century that you don't already know? They are that good that we still invest into watching their adventures of slapstick comedy over and over again, seemingly never getting tired of their distinctive way of making us laugh. With The Marx Brothers, Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx, Chico Marx. They even cut Groucho off as he's going to tell a personal story about an experience with his brothers. It's just a few short segments showing appearances by Harpo, Groucho and Harpo's son on a talk show. Reflects nothing at all on the sellers here or the good old school comedy of the movies.ĭon't expect too much content from the 6th disk. I'd have expected a little better when purchasing a whole set of these movies. It eventually gets back to the normal viewing quality you'd expect from an old movie such as these. The only real complaint I have on this set is that the movie Coacoanuts starts out in decent quality, then abruptly 1/4 of the way through gets fuzzy like you're watching in on an old TV set. DUCK SOUP captures some of the Marx Brothers zaniest routines and funniest quips, creating a laugh-out-loud spectacle of politics gone haywire.

Firefly, the hilarious dictator of mythical. Like all Marx Brothers’ movies, it is an anarchic farce with a. A pointed political satire, Duck Soup is the Marx Brothers funniest and most insane film. I got a pretty decent deal on it as opposed to some of the hax selling them for full retail. Indifferently received when it opened, Duck Soup has since been celebrated as one of Hollywood’s most memorable war films. ![]() ![]() Have had it on my saved searches list for quite a while now. Five of the Marx Brothers' thirteen feature films were selected by the American Film Institute (AFI) as among the top 100 comedy films, with two of them, Duck Soup (1933) and A Night at the Opera (1935), in the top fifteen. Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo promoted comic anarchy, not the political kind. The Marx Brothers were an American family comedy act that was successful in vaudeville, on Broadway, and in motion pictures from 1905 to 1949. Bought this set off a member of eBay recently. The Marx Brothers and Karl Marx have very little in common except that last name.
