Overview: The greatest – & funniest – book ever written about the Marx Brothers, Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Sometimes Zeppo was hailed as an instant classic upon publication in 1973.
Joe Adamson, comedy historian & award-winning filmmaker, thoroughly researched through all the existing written material on the Marx Brothers and probed the memories of the Marxes’ associates for first-person accounts – to produce the first accurate chronicle of the incredible Marx Brothers.
This book provides a brief introduction to the Brothers’ early years and their career in Vaudeville, but it mainly concerns their movies and how they came to be made. It is often written like one of the Marx Brothers’ scripts and is laugh-out-loud funny throughout. If you are interested in film history, history, comedy, or just want to read a book which is fantastically funny and well-written, do yourself a favor & read this one-of-a-kind classic.
