Moderate views on legendary films for non-fans and students

"The Marx Brothers: Their World of Comedy" is essentially a research document for people not immediatly familiar with the classic films of Harpo, Chico, Groucho and (sometimes) Zeppo. The true obsessive Marxist can find better, more doting treatment elsewhere, but the beginning film buff will find solid background material, well-researched biogs on the Brothers, and serviceable summaries of the film plots. Out-of-date, but a good additin to a research collection if found
