Comedy doesn't get any better than the Marx Brothers. Some people ask " If you are such a fan, then who is your favorite?"
After years of deep thought on the subject, and any true fan will agree, one just cannot answer that question. Remove any of the brothers from the mix(alas poor Gummo) and, well, its just not the same. Now, most people know Groucho better because of his game show and many television appearances before his death, but get the rest of the gang together and you have a magic that can't ever be duplicated. As for favorite moments or quotes...hmmm...I think that the incorporation of their former vaudeville acts really made them what they were. For instance, the song" Everyone Says I Love You" that re-occurs in Horse Feathers, and each of the brothers' performance and individual representation of the song, adding their own, personal flavor. Zeppo's "straight man" version kicks it off, and well...just see the movie if you haven't already. |
