Recensione
“Roy Blount Jr. knows from humor. In [Hail, Hail, Euphoria!], he sets out to remedy the lack of a scene-by-scene commentary on the Marx Brothers’ greatest movie, the sublimely nonsensical Duck Soup.” (Washington Post)
“An essential read for Marx Brothers fans, those curious about the melding of war and humor in film, and browsers looking for a good read.” (Library Journal)
“Readers will enjoy the stories behind this iconic film and the careers of the Marx Brothers.” (Booklist)
“Roy Blount Jr. deconstructs the Marx Brothers’ magic.” (Los Angeles Times) --Questo testo si riferisce a un'edizione alternativa kindle_edition.
L'autore
Dalla quarta di copertina
Nearly eighty years after its release, the Marx Brothers film Duck Soup remains one of the most influential pieces of political satire in history. In Hail, Hail, Euphoria!, bestselling author Roy Blount Jr. tells the history and making of Duck Soup, examining the comedic genius of the Marx Brothers in their finest hour and nine minutes.
In Duck Soup, a slim, agile, quick-witted, self-assured young man is summoned to save a nation from financial ruin. As the nation's new president, he brings together a team of rivals, a band of brothers. Those brothers are Pinky, Chicolini, and Lt. Bob Roland. Their leader? None other than Rufus T. Firefly.
The humor and idiosyncratic wit of Duck Soup are saluted by the author's own in this gem of a book, offering a behind-the-scenes tale of show business and brotherhood that only a true Marx Brothers aficionado could tell.

Considering the state of the world today 'Duck Soup' strikes more of a chord today than it did pre-World War II, in the 1930s, when it was made...if that's possible..?! The human race is moving faster but we've not learnt much...and if you can't laugh at the absurdity what are you going to do?

Brilliant!

A grown man remembering too much about a barely remembered film, ranting about some actors long dead? I love it!
That someone actually realised this movie needs a book of its own made me buy it without hesitation.
Furthermore - his style is soooo entertaining. I salute you “hail Roy”! Alas...
Now, in this age of fake news we old boys need to be extra careful about accuracy. Blount annoyed me twice.
As a fellow old boy I've seen enough Woody Allen and Marx material to know it from memory.
But if i were to bind it up so nice I’d get a pretty thorough proof reading. From a fan.
1. Woody is not “Alvy” in Hannah and Her Sisters. He says it about 25 times. Wrong movie!
2. Duck Soup is NOT “the only time in a movie that all four played music together”!! They did so in Monkey Business. Darn!
It ruined my inclination to buy 10 copies and share.
One other thing. Blounts style is remarkably bright and engaging - almost read it in one sitting. But the reviews cited as saying “laugh so hard... hold your laughter... foremost humorist...” exaggerate Blount’s comedy talent almost beyond his subject’s genius. This completely defeats the purpose of the book.
Read it to share the love of the humour, not to pretend he might surpass it. He doesn’t.
And i did love this book; never laughed once.


Blount at times uses the narrative to ambitiously give a window into the popular culture and the Marx family history and how it influenced what made it to the screen. Other times he uses it for an excuse for Marx and other anecdotes and to wax comically. If you stick too close to expectations you have for the book, it can get tedious or meandering at times. If you take it in the spirit of fun and love the author has for the material, it's a fun quick read that will make you want to revisit the movie (or watch if you've never seen it before).
