Throughout their films, good or bad, they were always the Marx Brothers. Changes in studios, writers, directors, producers.but the charm is always there.
(These studios are still used for various film and television productions and the complex is also the home of The American Museum of the Moving Image.)īetween the release of The Cocoanuts in 1929 and their thirteenth and last film, Love Happy, twenty years later, the Marxes went through a lot of changes. So, while performing nightly in the Broadway production of Animal Crackers, they began shooting their first feature, The Cocoanuts, at Paramount's Kaufman Astoria Studios on Long Island. But by 1929, the Marxes' standing on the stage was rock solid and motion pictures were the next logical step. As has been pointed out elsewhere, this film (produced around 1920) was "more risk than humor" and it was never shown to the general public. Actually, their movie careers had a false start several years earlier with a two-reel silent film called Humor Risk. Hot on the heels of the brothers' success On Broadway, they finally took the plunge and decided to begin a career in the movies. Click here for an updated version of the "Movies" page.
