But something is better than nothing, I suppose. Sadly they are not the same thing that was seen in theaters, as only the television prints exist, which edited some of the footage out ('Horsefeathers' especially). No more.ДЄs of the writing of this broadsheet, all of the Marx Brothers films have finally been issued on DVD. I wish to make clear that I simply wish to make a few comments about the Marx Brothers films. Although all of these conventions were targets for satire. Each half hour show made no concession to star guests, musical interludes or stand up.

Monty Python was finally able to break free of the ball and chain of variety. Even during all the fun with the Goons, you had to sit through two musical numbers. Most Marx Brothers films are weighted down with sappy love stories, stupid songs, shallow villians, etc. Yet the Goons were fettered (as the Marx's often were) by the conventions of variety showmanship. Though the Goons were basically a radio team (they made only one feature film, and several shorts), they were able to pack as much anarchy into a half hour radio show as the Marx's did over the course of a film. The Goons were certainly from the British version of Vaudeville Music Hall. And most, if not all Marx films had the stage element about them. As some may know the Marx Brother's first three movies were stage plays adapted for the screen. The Marx Brothers spent most of their lives in Vaudeville and that certainly was evident in their films. In fact, I see a somewhat logical progression from the Marx's, through the Goons, to Python. And both British teams owe a large debt to the Marx Brothers. If you are at all familiar with Monty Python and/or The Goons, you know they were both masters at anarchic comedy. However, it will not take a degree in rocket science, or even basket weaving, to see why the Marx's appeal to me. They still are, but the Marx's are a close third (the Goons being #2). I soon after managed to find a rental copy of 'Duck Soup' and the damage was done! Up to this time, my favorite comedy team was Monty Python. Peary's comments did not posses me to rent the film, but I came back to it, now interested in the Marx's. I had also remembered reading a chapter in Danny Peary's 'Cult Films' on the film 'Duck Soup'.

I had faced a medical trial in recent years, and so I became interested. What might surprise the unfortunate reader of this prattle, is that I came to discover the Marx Brothers because of Norman Cousins, the famous doctor who overcame his cancer with the assistance of laughter, via old comedies, including the Marx's. But outside of a few scattered inferences, I thought the Marx Brothers were just another version of The Three Stooges. I had also endured scores of Groucho wannabes (like Gabe Kaplan, Hudson Brothers, etc) on sitcoms and variety shows. Of course I had seen the occasional clip on television. Most of my life I was blissfully unaware of the Marx Brothers.
