Here at long last is a verbal and visual feast fit for fans of Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo - and even Gummo! This fabulous 5-DVD set includes film clips, interviews, TV shows and rare footage that span the careers of all five Marx Brothers.

In addition to the pilot to Groucho's 'You Bet Your Life' TV show, there's a rare TV sitcom pilot starring Chico! Also included are seldom-heard radio shows from the thirties and forties, and legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow's 'Person-To-Person' was never funnier than when he interviewed Groucho and Harpo right in their own homes.

Plus a brand-new, funny and fascinating documentary on the Marx Brothers that includes everything from classic movie scenes to rare audio clips and even Harpo's voice!

No self-respecting Marxist should be without this wonderful collection!

Disc 1: "Inside The Marx Brothers"
'Inside The Marx Brothers' is a funny and fascinating look at the personal and professional lives of Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo Marx, featuring classic clips from such Marx Brothers favourites as 'Animal Crackers', 'Monkey Business', 'Duck Soup' and 'A Night At The Opera'.

Also included are rare newsreels, home movies and interviews with Groucho, Chico and 'Room Service' co-star, Ann Miller. Rarer still is an actual sound clip of Harpo's voice!

Disc 2: "You Bet Your Life" TV Pilot
Groucho's 'You Bet Your Life' comedy-quiz show was a huge hit on radio in the late 1940s but would it translate to the new and increasingly popular medium of television? Nobody could be sure. In December 1949, a pilot was shot on 16mm film, to see if anyone cared to watch a nearly 60 year old man sitting on a chair and asking questions of average, everyday contestants. 'You Bet Your Life' was a huge success and ran on TV for an impressive 12 years. Here then is the rare and original 1949 pilot, complete with mistakes, false starts, ad-libs and a very nervous, 30 year old announcer named George Fenneman.

Disc 3: "Papa Romani" and "Person To Person" Groucho wasn't the only Marx Brother to do memorable work on the small screen. In 1950, Chico Marx appeared in an episode of the anthology series "Silver Theatre" called 'Papa Romani', which was intended as a pilot for a sitcom. In it he plays - what a surprise - an Italian immigrant! Co-starring with Chico are a post-'Wizard of Oz' Margaret Hamilton and a pre-'I Love Lucy' William Frawley!

Broadcasting legend Ed Murrow hosted a live interview show in the 1950s called 'Person To Person' in which he visited famous celebrities right in their very homes. Here is a 1954 installment with Groucho as Murrow's guest, complete with a tour of the house, a cat that plays pool and a charming duet between Groucho and his 8 year old daughter, Melinda. You'll also see Harpo and his charming family at their Palm Springs hacienda - while his wife and kids have plenty to say, Harpo - as usual - remains mute.

Disc 4: "The Marx Brothers Radio Days"
Throughout their film and television careers, Groucho and Chico made various appearances on the radio. Here is the rare, 1934 pilot to 'The Marx Brothers Show', starring Groucho and Chico as Hollywood agents. Also included are rare guest appearances from 1940s radio shows featuring Groucho trading barbs with such luminaries as Lucille Ball, Bing Crosby, Johnny Weismuller, Al Jolson, Ida Lupino, and Betty Grable.

Disc 5: "The Marx Brothers Mixed Nuts"
Here is a rare and wonderful collection of original, full-length theatrical trailers from some of Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo's funniest films, plus newsreels and TV commercials featuring the Marx Brothers in unusual situations.
