I don’t mean to get personal here, but I can’t figure out what’s wrong with that last reviewer. Among Marx Brothers fans, it’s hardly controversial that “Nutshell” is far and away the best documentary on the Marx boys. In fact, when this film first aired on PBS (I was 12), it made me a lifelong fan. I had this film on VHS for years and was SO happy when it finally came out on DVD last year. No Marx fan should be without it.

Regarding the last reviewer, I wonder if he got ahold of some weird re-edited bootleg. First of all, the “chapters” on the individual brothers only comprise the opening minutes of the show, and it’s a brilliant way to familiarize you with their individual personalities, before launching into the chronology of their stage, film and TV career. The weirdest thing he complained about was the repetition of clips. I know this film backwards and forwards and I challenge anyone to find ONE CLIP that repeats itself. There aren’t any! What was he watching?? Then he goes on to recommend “Inside the Marx Brothers”?? Ecchhh. Scratchy clips from trailers, re-hashed photos, interviews with meaningless subjects, and NO production value. “Nutshell” was produced when key witnesses were still alive: writers(Morrie Ryskind, Robert Pirosh, Irving Brecher), co-stars, family members. Even George Fenneman from “You Bet Your Life,” Dick Cavett & Woody Allen.
This film was obviously authorized by the surviving Marx family, and the filmmakers had access to clips from all their best films, as well as rare clips I’ve never seen anywhere else. They also let the scenes play out, instead of just excerpting a few seconds for the short-attention-span crown. Most of the prints are beautiful… in pristine condition.

If you look at the credits, the writer and editor was Joe Adamson who wrote the best book on the Marx Brothers (”Groucho, Harpo, Chico & Sometimes Zeppo”) and the producer is Robert Weide, the same guy who directs “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” According to the IMBd, he’s won 3 Emmys and was nominated for an Oscar for a Lenny Bruce documentary. The narrator is movie legend Gene Kelly.
Looking for the one documentary to own on the Marx Brothers? Is this the one? You bet your life! (P.S.: There’s a reason this one is more expensive than the other Marx docs: It’s WORTH it!)
This DVD is fantastic. Of the three Marx Brothers Bio DVD’s around (the others being the very good “The Unknown Marx Brothers” & the decent “Inside the Marx Brothers”), “The Marx Brothers in a Nutshell” is definatly the best one. The only down side is that it does not contain any interviews with Marx Brothers themselves (all the interviews are done by Marx family & friends), and there are not DVD extras. But, the DVD itself is just terrific, all great interviews, long clips from their classic movies. It’s over and hour and a half long and even though I’ve seen the movies countless times, I still can’t stop laughing at the scenes. This was a PBS special from 1982 I believe their is some new footage added to this DVD. A must for any Marx Brothers fan, and although this may be a bit pricey here on Amazon, believe me it’s worth it!
