Zeppo - and even Gummo! This fabulous five-DVD includes film clips, interviews, TV shows, and rare footage that span the careers of all five Marx Brothers.

Also included are seldom-heard radio shows from the thirties and forties, and legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow's Person-to-Person was never funnier than when he interviewed Groucho and Harpo right in their own homes.Plus a brand-new funny and fascinating documentary on the Marx Brothers that includes everything from classic movie scenes to rare radio clips and even Harpo's voice!
A Night At The OperaArts patron Mrs. Claypool intends to pay pompous opera star Lassparri ... more
$1,000 per performance. Hey, maybe that's why they call it grand opera!Grand comedy, too, as Groucho, Chico and Harpo cram a ship's stateroom and more with wall-to-wall gags, one-liners, musical riffs and two hard-boiled eggs - all while skewering Lassparri's schemes and helping two young hopefuls (Kitty Carlisle and Allan Jones) get a break. To save the opera, our heroes must first destroy it. And they must also gain ocean passage as stowaways, pull the wool (if not the beards) over he eyes of City Hall, shred legal mumbo-jumbo into a Sanity Clause, pester dowager Claypool (Margaret Dumont) and unleash so much glee that many say this is the best Marx brothers movie. Seeing is believing.A Day At The Races:The Marxes skewer medicine and bring home a racetrack winner in the hilarious A Day at the Races. In his favourite role, Groucho is Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush - MD, PhD, RFD, MC, PDQ, BYOB and none of the above - dispensing horse pills and quips with equal glee. Chico, Harpo and favourite foil Margaret Dumont join the fun of this thoroughly thoroughbred comedy. Enjoy tootsie-frootsie ice cream, Dumont's medical exam, Harpo's pretty-girl pantomime sketch, wallpaper wackiness and wall-to-wall hilarity the Marx way.A Night In Casablanca:Groucho, Chico, Harpo... uh-oh! It's the Nazis vs. the nutsies when the legendary Marx Brothers foil Axis criminals during A Night In Casablanca. As the manager of a hotel swirling in intrigue, Groucho is up to his fake moustache in joyful if unfulfilled lechery. Chico - heywatzamatter - becomes Groucho's bodyguard by self-decree. Harpo, pantomime's clown prince, says more in whistles and gestures than most comics say in pages of dialogue. The Big Store:The brothers go east in The Big Store, becoming detectives-cum-bodyguards for a department store. Crime is afoot in the store or, if in the Fabrics Department, by the yard. Still, our sleuths don't have a clue except in laughing matters. Chico and Harpo share a piano keyboard, beds disappear into walls, roller skates provide in-store mobility Groucho warbles Sing While You Sell. Sold!At The CircusThe 3-ring circus that is Groucho, Chico and Harpo provide big-top bedlam At The Circus. Groucho and Chico work a badge skit, Chico and Harpo scour a strongman's bedroom for evidence, Groucho extols Lydia the Tattooed Lady and logic, like the orchestra at the film's antic conclusion, is cut adrift and out to sea. You can learn a lot from Lydia.Go West:The Marxmen Go West to where the sun always shines, the fun never sets and where they outwit a land grabber. Highlights include the $1 scam, the stagecoach ride, Chico and Harpo bellying up to the bar and the train-chase finale.A Day At The RacesAt The CircusGo WestThe Big StoreA Night In Casablanca

Advantages: Wisecracks, chaos and laughter Disadvantages: A little too dated for some people
, in fact it is one of the funniest films they made! What I like about it is the way, as in all of their films, the brothers go to all costs to defy authority and rules, they just don't care who they offend, or what order they disturb. They were rebels with a cause - to entertain a generation of immigrants who, like the brothers themselves, were struggling to adjust to the strange New World they had found themselves in. The MarxBrothers were a beacon of hope to those people, as were the generation of comedians that grew up with them - the likes of Jack Benny, Sid Caesar and Milton Berle. In their films, as in real life, they were reacting against the new set of rules they were presented with.
All three brothers are at their very best in this film. Groucho, such an inspiration to me, plays the part of Otis B. Driftwood ...
Advantages: An aesthetically pleasing collection Disadvantages: Some rather poor inclusions
A selection of classic Hammer films from the very good to...not so good. An aesthetically pleasing set for fans of the studio, or those wanting at least half of the titles. Features star favourites Peter Cushing, Raquel Welch, Ursula Andress and Christopher Lee (about whom there is an interesting documentary with 'Scars of Dracula').
The extra features vary greatly, the biggest ommission, in my opinion, is the total absence of subtitles for the hearing impaired.
For those who are interested all films are anamorphic, some for the first time, and completely uncut.
My personal favourite was the inclusion of the 1965 film 'The Nanny' which stars a very chilling Bette Davis in a well scripted, and often overlooked role.
Probably a tad overpriced for most, but new DVD versions of individual films are also available, so take ...
Advantages: Brilliant acting and plots. Each episode is a real tense gritty drama!! Pure Class! Disadvantages: NONE!!!!!!
