Why a Duck? Why not! The Marx Brothers were such a timeless delight and it's such a thrill to have these marvellous movies all in one bundle. DVD is really so great for collectors, being able to have whole television series, or as in this having several movies in the group. This one is loaded with Groucho, Harpo and Chico.
This set (and I presume there will be a second set!) has seven of their films. I loved the lesser favourite of "A Night in Casablanca" - the packing suitcase scene with Harpo is a riot! "A Day at the Race" with Groucho as Hugo Hackenbush is full of charm and the brothers horse around. "At the Circus" is another gem with poor Margaret Dumont running in circles "keeping up appearances" and of course, you cannot forget Groucho's rendition of Lydia the Tattooed Lady. And in "The Big Store" I love Harpo's climbing through the top of the elevation in the big store and finding the harp to play Liszt! There are just so many fun moments it's hard to list them all.
So if you're a Marx Brothers' fan, you must get this super collection and this wonderful price.

I bought this from the U.S, and found a little treasure when I opened it.
In this set, you get 7 films.(Instead of only the 6 that you'd have with the UK set.The extra film being "The Big Store")
OK the packaging won't win any prizes but what you DO get is a very good collection of Marx Bros classics, plus extras on each DVD. (Too many to list).
Compared to the UK set, this is miles cheaper and MUCH better value.
If you can, buy this instead; you'll be glad you did!!!
