The Complete Films of the Marx Brothers by Allen Eyles

Minnie Marx, the world's most atypical stage mother, wanted her five sons - Julius, Arthur, Leonard, Herbert and Milton - to succeed in show business. With the help of her brother, the legendary Al Shean of vaudeville fame, the family began as the Six Nightingales and enjoyed nominal success. But it wasn't until they established their unique personalities - Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo (who later retired) - that they enjoyed comic success. This book chronicles the films in which the Marx Brothers appeared as well as the vaudeville and musical performances that marked their beginnings. Each film listing is complete with cast, credits and comments from both peers and critics.
