Hardcover. Etat : New. Photographs and drawings (illustrateur). 1st Edition. Here it is: a book of visual and verbal gems from the Marx Brothers moviesâ"a unique film book which may very well revolutionize the presentation of film material in book form. It does for the Marx Brothers what no other volume about them has ever achievedâ"as direct a transition from film to book page as is humanly possible. Remember the stateroom scene from A NIGHT AT THE OPERA? The tutsie-fruitsie scene from DAY AT THE RACES? The auction scene from THE COCOANUTS?â"here they are. Not publicity stills but frame-by-frame blow-ups of the scenes in their hilarious entirety, with the actual dialogue from the soundtrack. WHY A DUCK? (Chico's wacky Italianate mispronunciation of "viaduct") shows all the great comic sequences - over 600 pictures in all - from the films the brothers Marx made during the 1930s and 40s. MONKEY BUSINESS, HORSE FEATHERS, DUCK SOUP, BIG STORE, AT THE CIRCUS, and GO WEST, presented in a unique form which faithfully translates the filmed original to the book page. An ambitious book that lets you enjoy nine great comic films in the comfort of your own home. In addition, Groucho himself has written what can only be considered the last word on Man Brothers films, a kind of pastoral-comical-sociological treatise on the cinemalosophy of screen comedy. (And if you believe that, you'll believe anything.) Richard Shepard, culture critic of the NEW YORK TIMES has added a one-of-a-kind personal noteâ"telling of his own experience in seeing the Marx Bros. films when they first hit the unsuspecting world. Richard J. Anobile has edited the whole business. Don't invite him out to the movies until his eyes are returned from the ophthalmologist: he viewed each film scores of times to make this book possible. Buy the book, take it home and read it! But by all means, have fun. Some lines that launched Groucho, the lover: Groucho (to Margaret Dumont): "I mean - your eyes - your eyes, they shine like the pants of a blue serge suit. That's not a reflection on you, it's on the pants." "I'll meet you tonight under the moon. Oh, I can see you nowâ"you and the moon. You wear a necktie so I'll know you." "Martha dear, there are many bonds that will hold us together through eternity. your Government Bonds, your savings bonds, your Liberty Bonds.â Groucho (to Thelma Todd): "I know - I know. You're a woman who's been getting nothing but dirty breaks. Well, we can clean and tighten your brakes, but you'll have to stay in the garage all night." Richard J. Anobile, 24, has an all-consuming interest in films. He previously edited a short volume of W. C. Fields wit, "Drat!", and is now at work on a larger treatment of Fields' humor using the same methods and style as employed here. He is founder and president of Cinema Dimensions, Inc., a film distribution firm, and he will shortly go into film production as well. The front inside flap of the dust jacket has some creases. This is a large book and will require extra postage. All orders shipped protected in a box. Book. N° de réf. du vendeur 001015
