THE MARX BROTHERS in DONKEY SHINES - The lost Marx Brothers Movie.

Комедия

A LOST MARX BROTHERS MOVIE?!
Not really. This is a project that kept me busy during Covid lock down. The challenge was to find the best and funniest scenes of the later, not-so-good Marx Brothers movies and edit them into one new complete movie with a linear, and hopefully funny and coherent story. Does Love Happy, Room Service, At The Circus, Copacabana and The Big Store give us a happy-happy new Marx Movie? Give it a whirl and see...

    In spite of most of their later films, I actually find "A Night in Casablanca" to be quite entertaining. Yes several of the gags are regurgitated from earlier films but they do manage to add a little extra something. Example, Chico trying to understand what Harpo is miming, but they take it a step further by running to Groucho and repeating the mimes, to which Groucho looks bewildered before replying, "Alright, I'll take one of those." and walking off.
