Have you ever watched a Marx Brothers film and wondered what
'habeas Irish rose' is? What is the trial of Mary Dugan with sound?
What is a college widow? When exactly did Don Ameche invent the
telephone? Their films are full of such in-jokes and obscure
theatrical, literary and topical references that can baffle modern
audiences. In this viewer's guide to the Marx Brothers you will
find the answer to such mysteries, along with an exhaustive
compilation of background information, obscure trivia and even the
occasional busted myth. Each of the Marx Brothers' 13 films is
covered by a running commentary, with points in the film discussed
as they appear. Each reference is listed by its running time, with
time code given for both PAL and NTSC DVD. An introduction for
neophytes and a resource for fanatics, this book is a travel guide
to the rambling landscape of these remarkable comedies.
