The Marx Brothers : Monkey Business, Duck Soup, A Day at the Races (Classic Screenplay)

Summary: nice one
Review: I loved this book -- it's really good to see the dialogue set down on the page, since unless you watch the same scene, anorak style, over and over, then it's surprising how much you miss or mishear. I'd like to see one of these books for all the other films of the M bros.
A Day At The Races and Duck Soup are two of my all-time favourite films, and it's great to be able to open a page at random in this book and enjoy the jokes all over again. Even Harpo's

Review: Just watching a Marx Brothers movie leaves some people feeling like they've been delightfully spun around until they are dizzy with laughter. There is so much that one can miss because they are too busy spitting out their drinks in a moment of surprise that they might miss a few moments of pure genius dialogue. When you read the screenplays you get all of it, every word, line and phrase...every sarcastic remark, every surealistic statement, every wise crack. And when you are done reading the screenplays, you are left in awe of what you had just experienced....pure comic perfection.
