Marx's brothers??

Great documentary about one of the greatest movie stars in early movie history. I have the phantom of the opera and the hunchback of notre dame on dvd. Great silent movies. Rip Lon Chaney. Thanks for posting this.

Thank you for posting this! I read about this in Essential Ellison and assumed it had been lost to time - that’s what I get for assuming!

Thank you for uploading this. I really like how he used his theatre skills to move to film. But in that one segment (30:59) when they're talking about his "Chinese acting" I had to cringe. He does NOT look or act Chinese lol He acts exactly as what he is--a white dude pretending to be an old Chinese dude.

Awesome talent Man. And a grate Pigpen tune. Have a grateful day Bro.

Marx Brothers, not Marx's brothers

Wow!! This is some excellent skill category! The twirling ofnthe stick with the single hand is beyond my abilities. Great coordination bro

This is the type of RUclips short I have been missing

Excellent soundtrack

Harpo Speaks book: Groucho was named that at the classic poker game because he started carrying money around in a grouch bag.

Good documentary! I was surprised there was no mention at all of S.J. Perelman.

I watched a Marx Bros. movie in London and had never seen a crowd so enjoy themselves. They ate it up. I enjoyed it beyond what I expected.

I grew up in the middle of nowhere, and it was usually too hot to play outside. That meant we'd plop ourselves down on the rug and watch old shows, movies, cartoons, and such *for hours!* So, it hurts me to confess... I didn't know Groucho's mustache was often painted on. In my defense, the tv was a tiny black and white

The song Grouch sings with his daughter Melinda is the best part of all. 41:29

EXCELLENT. THNX. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

what happened to Shemp?

Wow. I just had surgery on my eyes. While it was happening I kept thinking it was a light show without the band. Then this video came along and I was back getting my eyes worked on. It was so hard to describe it to people. Now I can show them. Thanks!

❤💀💙 Hey Now! Love it!! ☮️🌻

Daaayum!

that's, She - Co. Chico.

I always thought Groucho was the oldest thanks to the fake mustache and eyebrows.

This documentary was far better than the Unknown Marx Brothers hosted by Leslie Neilson.

well done

Holy crap they're really taking Viola Lee for a ride on this one! Just chugging out the vibes 🇬🇧🇺🇲

All his son needs is a mustache and he's Grocho.

And Groucho's prediction/commentary on today's Congress: ruclips.net/video/29E6GbYdB1c/видео.htmlsi=G1bfanwFm51Q4TMJ

I grew up in the '50s, and Marx Brothers movies were shown frequently on TV. I have loved them since I was a kid, and still enjoy them. Thank you fot posting this most interesting video.

Born in 195?.. And I would watch these films as if it just came out.. Their comedy will never be match.. Thanks to the Marx Family..

Cordwainer Bird is the pseudonym of Harlan Ellison when he absolutely hates the way his story/screenplay has been mishandled. Basically, flipping them "the Bird".

Ahh, late Friday-nights, being allowed to stay up late and watching 'Marx-Brothers' films - and then on the Saturday at the swimming-pool/park my mates and me doing ouf very best to re-create Harpo's stunts and crack Groucho's lines !. Meanwhile all the girls would be watching us and shaking their heads as they couldnt understand our hero-worship of 4 weird brothers !

I love the Marx Brothers.....i was fortunate to see Groucho in 1972, in San Francisco, in one of the the 2 shows he did..one in New York..the other here ..recorded an album, An Evening With Groucho Marx. ..still have my Ticket Stub and Poster.. and of course, the Album what a treat it was ...

2024 here

Looked more like a wrestler than a makeup artist actor

Hold me closer hold me closer. If I hold you any closer, I’ll be in the back of you.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Can't blame Harpo for the name change. I wonder how many name changes their were in those years. That had to suck talk about hating your name

My parents told me that Harpo Marks was mentally retarded because his brothers felt sorry for him so they put him in the show and they told me a lie but it's still funny because he did act mentally retarded and he looked mentally retarded

Gummo & Zeppo were Zippo. They got it up the ass.😢

Excellent documentary

I heartilly agree with most of the commemts. Finally an in - depth short documentery that has good narration and some really great film clips of the Marx brothers. Many that I 've not seen.

My brothers introduced me to the manic, hilarious Marx Brothers when I was 8 years old. Groucho and Harpo are my favorites. Their act will never grow stale!

I have a friend from my hometown in CA., whose mother was an actress, & was in the movie, "At the Circus"....He tells me, his mom, with her sarcastic tone, had to put Groucho in his place a few times....His mom was Eve Arden......

I read the book "Harpo Speaks" when I was 14 years old and I STILL love that book! Well written, interesting as well as funny, I stayed up all night one summer night to finish reading it, I could not put it down!❤

Fun tv show 😊

i remember the year grouch died. that year we also lost bing crosby and elvis. the marx brothers did for hollywood what edison did for the world,made it a lot brighter for everyone.

Let's not to blame all the problems only on Groucho - part of all that on them too . Of all three kids who didn't want to have anything in common with him (according to their words) only one stayed true to tgat - no interviews, no documentaries about dirty laundry, not much of his estate, no books where he is made a scapegoat, no fame on his bones Somehow you hardly hear anything good about Groucho (and there's A LOT to tell) but his older brothers are pure angels and no one even want to question their doings 'coz if you read about those things in your right mind you'll sometimes gonna be terrified

Loved them when I was a little kid, still love them now I'm old

I started playing the harp after I had discovered the Mark Brothers films. As a professional Harpist, Harpist technique is extremely unique. He was well established before he started having lessons with Mildred Dillon, and even still he would do trills with his third and fourth finger on some of his earlier films - - something nothing nobody else would ever do!! It was in the early 2000s that I was asked to do a recital down in Florida. I was offered the chance to play on Harpo Marx‘s harp - one of the Lyon & Healy harps he owned. (There was a plaque on the mechanism that stated that this harp was purchased by Arthur Marx on a certain date in the 1930s, so it was genuinely one of his harps.) I figured that if I was going to do a recital on Harpo’s harp, I simply had to play one of Harpo’s tunes. Believe it or not at the time, there was nothing published! All of those movie appearances and TV appearances have never been transcribed and put into printed music form. I spent weeks doing a “takedown “ of Harpo’s version of TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME that he played on I LOVE LUCY to get it actually on paper. I played it in the audience, loved it. Afterwards, a lady came up to me and said “I am a Harpist. But I’m also a psychic medium. I don’t care if you believe me or not, but Harpo was dancing excitedly behind you the entire time you played his piece!” I have no doubt of that at all. As far as I can tell, I was the first person to play one of his signature tunes on his harp. ruclips.net/video/yAeVjZbRYs8/видео.htmlsi=da_-4qX5SuZhE7VR

The Marx Brothers. Think of the last name Brown. We say and write the Brown Brothers, not the Brown’s Brothers. Same with Marx.
