Anobile, Richard J.: Why a Duck?
(Category: Books about the Marx Brothers, their films etc.)
"An attempt to present the team's film humor in book form, by combining transcripts of dialogue from classic Marx routines with frame blow-ups from the films themselves. A good idea at the time, but now rather obsolete, since videotapes of the films are widely available. Still worth picking up if you happen upon an inexpensive used copy, if only for Groucho's introduction (and for that matter, a well-written preface by Richard F. Shepard). " (Robert Rose)
