The Marx Brothers were pure comedic anarchy. They were famous on the Vaudeville circuit where they would leave the stages and theaters in shambles after they were done with a show. A perfect mix of both physical and verbal slapstick. The crazy wordplay, especially by Groucho, and the wild physicality is brilliant. The're just relentless and hilarious!

​@peterbroad6885 The Marx's first films were adapted from thier Broadway shows. After the 5th "Duck Soup" , Zeppo left the act. Chico made a deal with MGM producer Thalberg, who knew how to make the Marx movies more successful. 1st was "Night at Opera" 2nd was "Day at Races" , but Thalberg died during production. However, the wisdom of 'the Thalberg formula' was employed in all subsequent movies by the Marx Bros

“Margaret Dumont's screen persona was that of a stolid, wealthy society matron, which is exactly what she was: her husband, John Moller, was a millionaire industrialist, and she often commuted to filming locations from her mansions in Palm Springs, California, and Paris, France. Dumont on first joining the Marx Brothers act: "After three weeks as a leading lady, Groucho had pushed me out of windows, pulled chairs out from under me, broiled steaks in the fireplace of my apartment, put frogs in my bathtub and made my life miserable, on the stage and off." In most of her interviews and press profiles, Dumont preserved the myth of her on-screen character: the wealthy, regal woman who never quite understood the jokes. However, in a 1942 interview with the World Wide Features press syndicate, Dumont said, "Scriptwriters build up to a laugh but they don't allow any pause for it. That's where I come in. I ad lib-it doesn't matter what I say-just to kill a few seconds so you can enjoy the gag. I have to sense when the big laughs will come and fill in, or the audience will drown out the next gag with its own laughter." "I'm not a stooge, I'm a straight lady. There's an art to playing straight. You must build up your man, but never top him, never steal the laughs from him." (IMDb/Wikipedia) Happy Birthday, Margaret Dumont!”

Kitty Carlisle was a very good singer and a patron of the opera (and the arts in general). She later married the well-known playwrite, Moss Hart (who often co-wrote with another famous playwrite, George S. Kaufman). She was very famous to American audiences in the '50s and '60s as a panelist on popular TV game shows, like To Tell The Truth, What's My Line and I've Got A Secret, among others.

Just a couple comments. The pretty lady playing Rosa was Kitty Carlisle, who years later was a mainstay on 50s tv game shows, esp. To Tell the Truth. She was a passionate crusader for support of the Arts, becoming an elegant Society lady, and received several national arts recognitions as well as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The scene of chaos in their small ship room is considered one of the classics of early Hollywood comedies. So, sooo, funny !!!

That's great reacting Dawn! You'll have to get a Groucho pair of glasses with the nose, eyebrows and mustache. Unfortunately as they moved into the 1940s they were forced by circumstances to do a lot of inferior films. Chico was an addicted gambler and needed quick money. They lost their best writers. But there are still some classic gags and especially Groucho songs, like "Lydia, the tattooed lady".

I LOVE Chico's piano playing and Harpo playing the harp. They are such accomplished musicians. Harpo doesn't speak at all, he has a horn on his belt which he squeezes sometime. I have been watching Marx Brothers movies since I was a child in the '50s, their movies were shown on TV on Saturday afternoons back then. SO nice to see a young woman reacting and laughing so heartedly to them. I only saw one other reactor who watched one of their movies, and he just DIDN'T "get" their humor AT ALL! He didn't laugh at ANYTHING. No matter how many times I have watched their movies over the years, they STILL make me laugh. (by the way, GROUCHO'S moustache and eyebrows are PAINTED on, it almost looks like black shoe polish. If you look closely you can see that, and that they are not theatrical hair moustaches or eyebrows.) FABULOUS REACTION Dawn!!

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx Groucho's moustache was painted on. It was an indelible part of his screen and stage persona. Later in life, when he'd given up acting, he grew a real moustache. You cut the iconic end of the stateroom scene, when one last person opens the door and everyone comes tumbling out. There was a rumor (encouraged by Groucho) that Margaret Dumont didn't understand all the jokes that were done at her character's expense. I don't believe it. She was an excellent straight woman. Playing the straight character to a comedian is harder than it looks. I'm glad you enjoyed this, and I'm looking forward to your reaction to Duck Soup.

After watching you watch this, it makes me somewhat envious threat you are watching these for the first time. I remember watching so many good movies for the first time and how I felt. Don't feel like you have missed out on anything. You're watching them now and each one is a new discovery for you, and that's the best. If you ever get a chance, if your local theater plays old movies, go see them there. Having them all at your finger tips at home is convenient, but seeing them in the theater on the big screen is the way to see them. Also, it's always great when Chico and Harpo play. Harpo's harp music is definitely emotional. Love your channel, cheers!

A night in Casablanca came out the same year as Casablanca and they wrote a letter to Groucho telling him they were going to sue. Groucho wrote back they sent him another Letter asking him to explain the first one he wrote back never heard from them again. If you ever find it it’s in Letters to and from Groucho Marx the very opening of the book

I really enjoy watching your videos Dawn! You have such a lovely and genuine personality . Watching these Marx Brother reactions has been an absolute treat! I remember I was only 5 at the time when I watched my first Marx Brother movie. I just got home from the hospital after having an operation and I couldn't eat her sleep, so dad put on a recorded VHS tape of Marx Brothers, 'Monkey Business' and it made my day a lot better!

Meant to add to my original comment, the actress who played the rich Mrs. Claypool - Margaret Dumont - was the regular butt of Groucho's jokes in many of their best movies. In real life she was a wonderfully warm and loving person, and all the Marx brothers adored her. She bore the brunt of Groucho's barbs such grace and self-deprecation off set. Also, the megaband Queen were such fans of the Marx Brothers that they named two of their most successful albums, "A Night at the Opera" and "A Day at the Races".

The Marx Brothers started on stage. Their first two films, The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers, began as plays and were eventually filmed; for later films they wrote scenes they could rehearse in front of an audience to see what worked (and to ad-lib the hell out of every line). So they were chaos, but organized chaos. Somehow.

I grew up watching the Marx Brothers, and it's amazing to think they go back so far that they were an act before the movies even existed. That's Harpo doing his own stunts when he's swinging above the opera house, and he must have been well into his forties at the time. Impressive!

The Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Charlie Chaplin, and Buster Keaton were the original funny men of comedy, from the first silent films well into the talkies. Sadly we'll never see another era like that again. It's great to see someone explore historical comedy and enjoy it, which proves how timeless it is. There's a fourth brother that played in a couple of the films, his name was Zeppo, he'd usually play the straight guy, which balanced well with his brother's comedy routines. Harpoon never spoke in the movies, but he did in regular life. As far as the grease paint mustache on Groucho, there's an interesting story about that. Harpoon and Chico really were talented musicians and were amazing to watch. I'm glad you got to experience them. I like and subscribed, I love your voice, can't wait to check out more of your reaction videos. Oh, and anybody that says there ain't no Sanity Clause is crazy. 😆 🤣 😆 🤣 Take care and stay safe ❤️ 🙏.

YES, Please react to more of The Marx Brothers. Dawn, watching you laugh and giggle through this reaction was so adorably cute. Some of their films are weak in plot, but that never changed the entertainment they provided. It's been a long time, but because of your reaction I now feel the urge to go back and rewatch many of their films. I remember "A Night At The Opera" being one of my favorites of theirs. Another one I remember enjoying a lot was "A Day At The Races". Already you see how talented these entertainers were. Groucho Marx is my favorite due to his incredibly razor sharp improvisational wit. Watch anything you can by him. He was arguably funnier in "on-the-fly" conversations than most if not all other skilled comedians. He hosted a game show called "You Bet Your Life" and was hilarious when interacting with the game show contestants.

Fun fact: This was the first film the Brothers made at MGM after leaving Paramount. Some MGM exec loved them and insisted the studio offer them a contract, the only issue was he never liked the fact that in their previous films they never helped anyone and were only out for themselves so from here on out their movies always involved a plot where they helped the supporting characters, usually some couple that were in love. But since being con-artists was part of their schtick, they continued to do that and just happened to help the young couple in love as a byproduct.

When the Marx Brothers were in vaudeville, Groucho would use a false mustache in their routines. He would often go out between shows. One day, he was late getting back to the theater, and didn't have time to put on the regular mustache, so he grabbed some black shoe polish. That worked so well that it retained it for the rest of his career, though in later life he grew a real one. The Marx Brothers were Jewish. Harpo (real name Adolph, later Arthur) was supposed to play Irish characters in their vaudeville acts, but he could never get rid of his thick Jewish accent, so they made the character silent, and physical comedy became his trademark. Kitty Carlisle (Rosa) and Allan Jones (Ricardo) were both trained opera singers, but made their careers in movies and television. Ms. Carlisle became a fixture on every iteration of the game show 'To Tell the Truth' from the 1950s to the 1970s. A theater at the Performing Center of the Arts in Albany, NY (commonly known as The Egg) is named for her. When the brothers were growing up, the family only had enough money for one of them to take piano lessons. (This was a time when a loaf of bread cost five cents, and piano lessons were 25 cents an hour.) Leonard/Chico, being the oldest, was chosen to get the lessons, but Harpo paid attention and learned as well. He later taught himself to play the harp, hence his nickname. (No matter how much he clowns around, once he sits down to play, he's all business.) Chico developed his own style of playing the piano, including the 'pistol shot' technique demonstrated at 13:35. The Brothers' first movie was 'The Coconuts'. Like their second film, 'Animal Crackers', it was based on a play they were doing on Broadway.

It's good that you know what Groucho sounds like now, because when you get to Young Frankenstein you will be able to recognize when someone does an impression of him. Kitty Carlisle was a panelist on the TV show To Tell The Truth for years.

The Marx's were kids when they went on the vaudeville stage, Groucho often played a teacher or an older character in the act using a grease paint mustache. Harpo could speak, but he had a thick Platter-dutch/Yiddish accent which didnt work so well in small towns in the Midwest (he was also not as fast as Groucho or Chico so he eventually just depended on sight gags for his comedy. Please, Please, Please watch Duck Soup

Groucho wears glasses, has the big, black mustache, and spouts wisecracks and insults. Chico wears the peasant cap, plays piano, and speaks with an Italian accent. And Harpo has curly blond hair, doesn't speak, and plays the harp. In some of their movies, the 4th brother Zeppo appears as the straight man.

I first discovered Marx Brothers movies with a friend in 1972 on a nearby TV channel when I was 15 IIRC. We were at the mercy of broadcast TV scheduling and for some reason they were rarely shown, but they showed a series of them within a week. Old movies were ordinarily shown after 11pm but in this case they were shown early in the morning on an American channel (though we lived in Montreal we could usually pick up grainy broadcasts from nearby states, New York, Maine and Vermont without cable). My buddy and I couldn't believe how funny they were and we skipped our morning classes all week as we were addicted. They were such a hidden gem to us as well.

“As Arthur (born Adolph) Marx never spoke in his films, I figured I'd just post some quotes by him... "I am the most fortunate self-taught harpist and non-speaking actor who has ever lived." "The man who first inspired me was a guy called Gookie. Gookie had nothing to do with the theater. He rolled cigars in the window of a cigar store on Lexington Avenue. When he got going good he was completely lost in work, so absorbed that he had no idea what a comic face he was making. His tongue lolled out in a fat roll, his cheeks puffed out and his eyes popped out and crossed themselves. Over the years, in every comedy act or movie I ever worked in, I've thrown in a Gookie at least once." Talking about working in vaudeville: "If an audience didn't like us, we had no trouble finding it out. We were pelted with sticks, bricks, spitballs, cigar butts, peach pits and chewed-out stalks of sugar cane. We took all this without flinching - until (the Marx Brothers' mother and manager) Minnie gave us the high-sign that we'd collected our share of the receipts. Then we started throwing stuff back at the audience and run like hell for the railroad station the second the curtain came down." "Cheap hotels in the South and Southwest were apparently set up as bug sanctuaries by some Audubon Society for Insects. Fleas, ticks, bedbugs, cockroaches, beetles, scorpions and ants, having no enemies, attacked with fearless abandon. They had the run of the house and they knew it. After a while you just let them bite. Fighting back was useless. For every bug you squashed, a whole fresh, bloodthirsty platoon would march out of the woodwork. In one hotel hotel the ants were so bad that each bed was set on four pots of oxalic acid." "When you lose something irreplaceable, you don't mourn for the thing you lost. You mourn for yourself." "If things get too much for you and you feel the whole world's against you, go stand on your head. If you can think of anything crazier to do, do it." (IMDb) Happy Birthday, Harpo Marx!”

These guys were way ahead of their time. Off the top of my head there's Duck Soup, A day At The Races, Go West, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, A night In Casablanca, Love Happy (which mainly features Harpo, and has the very first screen appearance of Marylin Monroe), Animal Crackers, Room Service, The Big Store, At The Circus, and the rare film called Coconuts. I think that's the lot, as I have them all on DVD somewhere. You're going become a huge fan, and I cannot wait to see you enjoys these films as much as I did growing up. Enjoy 😀
