Everyone is wrong now and then! Haha!Ī couple notes-NRA at the beginning stood for the National Recovery Act- and was basically an FDR program as described by David. Of course I don’t agree with Ian’s view of the film, but his view was shared by Irving Thalberg, so he’s in good company.įullMarx for both of you, although Ian, it’s ok that you have a problem with parts of Duck Soup. Re Duck Soup, it’s a great favourite but I also dislike the lack of harp and piano, and the way some people treat it as the only Marx Brothers film you need to bother with (I have the same complaint with how people talk about “The General” and “Pet Sounds”). As with the Tintin ones, I thought I knew everything about the subject but David is coming up with all sorts of stuff I didn’t know, or had forgotten, or had never considered, or not attributed sufficient importance to, (particularly relating to the business side, which had a huge effect on the films we got). I’m thrilled both that you’re doing a Marx Brothers podcast and that for the first time I get to listen to one of your specialist podcasts as they come out. Though I’m not a regular listener to the main podcast, I loved both your Tintin and Beatles podcasts, both of which I came to late.
