[mriches]

Koch Entertainment appears to be releasing a "Marx Brothers Collection" 5-disc DVD set on December 9th:


Edit: Thanks Nyical, for the link


Does anyone here in ATOT, perhaps another Marx Brothers fan, have any knowledge or opinion of this?


Recently released in GB:

Marx Brothers Movies

I hope it's real...I have most of their stuff on VHS but it's getting worn out....a DVD would be a dream come true.

Nyical,

How did you get Amazon to give you a session-less link?

what movies are in it? I don't see them listed anywhere?

the marx brothers are great! if anyone here hasn't seen them go rent movie tonight!!, "horse feathers" and "A night at the opera" are classic.

It's probably NOT a collection of their feature films. I would expect a compilation of TV appearances, interviews, early short films, appearances by Zeppo by himself in other films, etc. I would not expect it to contain Duck Soup, Night at the Opera, etc. If it did, they surely would say so.

No movies are listed as being in it, anywhere. The only information I have found is something along the lines of "Includes rare footage." But I can hardly imagine someone selling 5 hours of rare footage. I wonder if this is not the 4 movie set released in the UK, with an extra disc of rare footage? What do you think?

They didn't say anything about what would be included in the region 2 release in October, and that turned out to be 4 of the most popular movies, with almost no extras.
