I'd always heard stories about how Harpo Marx was the most talkative of the Marx brothers. I found it interesting that someone you never got to hear speak in films would never not speak in real life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Marx Brothers isn't subtle, and that's hilarious.
I was always a fan of Groucho Marx as a kid.
I think we grew up thinking that the funniest things on TV were the old, serious movies. I always liked the Marx Brothers, but the thing that always made us laugh were movies like Zero Hour. That's what inspired us.
I grew up and I was weaned on the Marx Brothers. They were sort of my all-time favorite. My parents showed me their movies when I was very young. And as I got older, I became a Charlie Chaplin fan, and I love Buster Keaton.
I've got to say, I've probably seen a lot more of the Three Stooges than of the Marx Brothers.
Without mincing words or really embellishing anything... I consider Mike Alsbury the renaissance man. He could do it all. He was an engineer. He was a pilot. He worked well with others. He had a great sense of humor. I never heard him raise his voice or lose his cool.
I grew up on Jerry Lewis and Abbot and Costello, the Marx Brothers.
Harpo Marx looks like a musical comedy.
The genius of the Marx Brothers is for parody. They never are themselves. They exist too abundantly to be content with being that - they must go on, by the rapidest of transitions, to being something else. Groucho, in my opinion the bright star among the three, is never anything but the thing he is at the moment pretending to be.
Growing up, I loved drama and fantasies. I hated the Marx Brothers. I took all that confusion seriously.
