It's amazing to think that some of their film work is almost 70 years old!
Duck Soup, in its day, was deemed so volatile that Il Duce banned its
screening in Italy for several years, and its madcap anti-war sentiment was
echoed fully 40 years after the initial release.
Even though a lot of viewers today don't like the Marx Brothers, one can't
deny the astonishingly broad influence they've had in entertainment.
And Chico was a heck of a piano player.
