And they came after the Marx Brothers (along with Zeppo) had made five films for Paramount in the early 1930s.Įach film in this collection contains musical interludes and romantic subplots with other characters (which is why your DVD remote has "skip" and "fast-forward" buttons) and this new box set boasts many wonderful bonus features, ranging from short films to cartoons to new "documentaries" (actually half-hour featurettes) about the Marxes and some of these films.īut the real treats, of course, are the gorgeous new transfers of these movies - in glorious black and white. These seven movies represent the MGM years (although two were produced at other, smaller studios). The film that is considered by most critics and fans to mark the pinnacle of the Marx Brothers' work - "A Night at the Opera" - has finally made it to DVD this week, along with six more of Marxes' post-"Opera" films in a five-disc set titled "The Marx Brothers Collection."
