Glenn Mitch has the monopoly on encyclopedias of old movie comedy. I'm an antique comedy film junky. I believe that's who these books are for, The old comedy movie junkies.

I have every one of his encyclopedias. Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, A-Z of Silent Film Comedy and now The Marx Brothers Encyclopedia. All for old, little boys like me.

It's all here (or most of it). I was glad to read one part in particular about why one scene of Horsefeathers is always so chopped up in every print. Closure about the frustrating condition of a classic..

These books by Mitchell are all great fun. A lot of facts and photos. That's all I'm looking for.The Marx Brothers Encyclopedia

A good overview of the Marx Brothers and family. Lots of photographs and anecdotes that help flesh out the history and influence of the family. Many do not understand the movies were successful and polished because they were first performed on the New York stage. It gives good insight into Groucho's "You Bet Your Life" in the late 1940s and 1950s and why these shows remain timely today.

Any "encyclopedia" that doesn't include the name Schoenberg, when written about the Marx family, is like writing a book about George Washington and not mentioning the Potomac River or that fabled cherry tree or his wooden teeth. The British authors of this tome clearly have passion and a love of minutia, but they miss the real guts of the story. I am a life long Marx fan with over 50 books on the subject. I've been published in comedic film journals, museum magazines and I know this subject and I was astonished to find such simple errors.

Its sad. We Marx fans agree this is a useful guide, but like the rest of the 21st century, this is FORM...not CONTENT. I say, see the films and laugh and use this book to start a fire.
