The Marx Brothers - Monkey business ; Duck soup ; and, A day at the races - Thryft

Essential scripts, iconic Marx Brothers' comedic genius.

Imagine catching every clever quip that whizzed by while you were doubled over in laughter watching a Marx Brothers classic. This book lets you savor those moments, slowing it down, so you can relish in the wit and humor crafted by Hollywood's sharpest minds. It's like having a backstage pass to "Monkey Business," "Duck Soup," and "A Day at the Races," with the bonus of critiquing the craft through rich stills and behind-the-scenes insights. Perfect for film buffs and anyone in need of a good, timeless laugh.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

How many times have you missed the best bits of a Marx Brothers movie, failing to catch Groucho's famous one-liners because you were still laughing at the bit with Harpo and the zipped-up banana? And what about the lemonade stall? The mirror section? And the blue-tined ballet sequence?This book offers what the videos can't, ant that's a short cut to some of the funniest films of all time -- Monkey Business (1931), Duck Soup (1933), and A Day at the Races (1937) -- scripted by some of the wittiest screenwriters Hollywood ever produced.In addition to a generous number of stills from each movie, this bumper edition also includes a cast and production crew list for movie buffs as well as an Introduction by Karl French.
