	Marx Brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Marx Brothers were a team of sibling comedians that appeared in vaudeville, stage plays, film and television.
		Born in New York City, the Marx Brothers were the sons of Jewish immigrants from different parts of Germany.
		The Marx Brothers' segment was a reworking of a scene from their Broadway play I'll Say She Is, a parody of Napoleon that Groucho considered among the Brothers' funniest routines.

	Brotherhood of St. Mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Marx brothers (German Marxbrüder), or Brotherhood of Saint Mark was the name of the most important organization of German fencers in the 16th century.
		After their recognition by Frederick, the brotherhood was usually referred to as "Marxbrüder", "Bruderschaft des heiligen Marren" or "Bruderschaft des St. Marco" ("Marx brothers", "Brotherhood of St. Mark").
		A second fencing brotherhood, the Federfechter, was founded in Prague in 1570, and recognized by the city of Frankfurt, in spite of protests by the Marx brothers, in 1575.

	Reason magazine -- November 2000, Marxist Rebellion by Steve Kurtz
		The brothers had doubts that they were ready for this venue, but when they opened the musical comedy revue I’ll Say She Is in 1924, these veterans were discovered by the top newspaper critics.
		The Marx Brothers created, refined, and embodied characters that still touch a chord–we can’t be this outrageous in life, so it’s good to have champions doing it for us.
		The brothers offer no story to carry us along; their films live or die minute by minute on their material and their personalities, which are too aggressive for some.

	The Immortal Marx Brothers
		The brothers were encouraged by their mother Minnie, the daughter of vaudevillians, to take music lessons while still young boys.
		It was not a hit, and the brothers (minus Zeppo), now considered a liability by their home studio Paramount, accepted an offer to work at MGM, where producer Irving Thalberg suspected he could utilize their talents to better advantage in more lavish, and better-crafted, films.
		Although the Marxes' madcap comedy was diluted by liberal splashes of music and romance, A Night at the Opera (1935) and A Day at the Races (1937) turned out to be terrific movies and their most successful at the box office.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: The Marx Brothers
		Though never an enormous hit in their time, the Marx Brothers lived to see their reputation with critics and audiences grow to legendary proportions, and they are especially remembered for their appearances in much-revived films like Duck Soup (1933),; A Night at the Opera (1935),; and A Day at the Races (1936).
		The five Marx Brothers were born in New York City to Samuel, a tailor, and Minna Palmer Schoenberg Marx (the "Minnie" of the musical Minnie's Boys), an ambitious stage-mother type--her brother was Al Shean of the vaudeville comedy team Gallagher and Shean--who thought show business would provide opportunities for her sons.
		The first Marx Brothers film to be written directly for the screen, Monkey Business' frenetic pace and relative lack of schmaltzy subplot made it one of the team's funniest examples of its formula.

		Featuring interviews with many surviving family members, friends, and close associates, the film covers the brothers' early stage careers in great detail, including the origins of their stage names and rare film footage of a sketch from one of their most popular comedy plays.
		Included here is material shot for the aborted Marx Brothers 50's TV series which (if not for Chico's deteriorating health) would have featured Groucho, Harpo, and Chico as guardian angels (the theological implications of this are astounding).
		If you really want to learn about the Marx brothers, I recommend reading the books Harpo Speaks and Groucho and Me. What this DVD does give you, however, is a look at some of their work which never made it far.
