Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A roguishly clever and energetic documentary about the exploits of the Marx boys, this is as humorous and irreverent as the comedians' distinctive brand of humor. Directors David Leaf and John Scheinfeld accomplished the nearly impossible: they produced a fast and funny documentary as enjoyable as any piece of fiction. Though it runs for over two hours, this is so full of factual detail and amusing rumor about the exploits of the Marx boys that it could easily have gone on another 30 minutes. Its one flaw is the disappearance of the minor Marx brothers about halfway through, and the lack of information regarding the last days of all involved. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Description:
Narrator Leslie Nielsen leads a journey through rare home movies, insightful interviews with family members, never-before-seen out-takes and hilarious film clips to paint an intimate portrait of the men known as the Marx Brothers.

Unknown Marx Brothers is a fun documentary with rare clips, photos and fascinating interviews with the brothers' children and friends. But I was very surprised to find the DVD version actually CUT OUT a great deal of material from the original VHS version. I have since been fortunate enough to go back and purchase the VHS as well, as it fills out their story a bit more and includes (if possible!) even MORE rare clips and photos. ;)

This DVD was awsome... it told the whole lives of the Marx brothers! The only thing that I would change, would be to talk more about Zeppo. He was apart of the Marx bros too and it would have been nice to hear more about his life! It's not the same without Zeppo! But otherwise it's a great DVD!

The Marx Brothers rank among the best comedians of all time. Their brand of humor is timeless, proven by their popularity surge with a new generation in the 1960s. Today, they are as fresh as ever. This documentary, narrated by Leslie Nielsen, celebrates their beginnings, their films, and their lives after fame. Commentors include film historians and family members, mostly children.

When I ordered this from PBS on VHS years ago it was 2 hours and 6 minutes and I watched it over and over again, one of the best Hollywood documentaries I had ever seen.
This DVD version is 40 MINUTES SHORTER !!!
What a rip-off...save your money and buy the VHS, hopefully THAT hasn't been demolished in recent years.

Very little of the documentary seems to focus on the years before they started making films. They speak very little about Gummo, or why Zeppo left the act after Duck Soup. There seems to be an imbalanced amount of focus on the "You Bet Your Life" period for Groucho.
There is some very interesting scenes of early test shots of one of their Broadway plays that was never made to film, as well as test shooting for a television show that was never made. Also, there are some fascinating ... Read More
