Madly enjoyable. It is all but impossible to love the Marx Brothers and not enjoy this show.

A fascinating look at the most beloved comedy team in motion picture history. Exclusive interviews with those closest to the brothers supplement this collection of highlights from their film, theater, and television appearances and offer a compelling look at their lives both on and off-screen.
