94 The British Eyles (featuring Allen Eyles)
from The Marx Brothers Council Podcast
We’re proud to welcome Allen Eyles, author of 1966’s The Marx Brothers: Their World of Comedy—the first book to seriously analyze the team’s output—and its successor, 1992’s The Complete Films of the Marx Brothers, for his first-ever podcast on these landmark works. The conversation ranges from Eyles’ favourite (see what we did there) British comedians to his accidental status as the world’s foremost authority on the missing Horse Feathers footage. Along the way, he recalls the Herculean efforts needed to study Marx films in the pre home-video era, and reflects on his evolving opinions of the Brothers' filmography.
