5.0 out of 5 stars It's one of the best, April 15 2004

Grant - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cocoanuts, the (DVD)

First off, lets get some stuff straight. This is a great start for the Marx Brothers. Second, The sound can get bad but please still buy it. Third, Zeppo does not star in it. He's in it for like 4 minutes and then he doesn't say anything. After 10 minutes of the movie he turns into Harpo. Fourth, this can be interrupted by some dances.But this is an awsome movie, and I recommend it.

This review is from: Cocoanuts, the (DVD)

What I'm about to write applies to the first 5 Marx movies.I own them on VHS and borrowed the DVDs from our local library .The VHS versions are clearer,brighter,and show more picture.The sound is also of better quality on tape.As you know by now,no extras.The DVDs will receive one star less rating because of the lack of extras,poor picture and sound quality THE COCOANUTS 2 stars for DVD 3 stars for VHS.ANIMAL CRACKERS DVD;4 stars VHS;5 stars. MONKEY BUSINESS DVD;3 VHS;4. HORSE FEATHERS DVD;4 VHS;5.And DUCK SOUP DVD; 4 stars and of coarse VHS;5 stars.Don't get me wrong. The dvds aren't of such bad qaulity as other reviewers would lead you to believe,it's just that the VHS versions are better (MCA Universal) that is. If you have the cash and simply must have these reMARXable movies on dvd go ahead get the discs.I'm waiting for them to be reissued by MCA.This time correcting all the faults I mentioned with the current discs. I justa hope'a they put'a them'a out before they put'a me in'a da olda ladies home.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Marxes' first film is a winner!, Dec 29 2002

By

Josh P. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cocoanuts (VHS Tape)

"The Cocoanuts" was the Marx Brothers first film, and one look at it shows you this is excellent. This was a big box-office grosser. "The Cocoanuts" was filmed on stage in the Paramount Studios in New York. That may be the reason why the sound seems like it echos. The sound is not the greatest, but what can you expect from a film that was made two years after the first talking picture "The Jazz Songer" was made. Grouch plays a hotel owner with Zeppo as his assistant. Groucho takes Chico and Harpo under his wing and watches them carefully. For instance when they first arrive, their suitcase breaks open and it's empty. Chico says, "That's all right. We'll fill it up when we leave." Soon Margaret Dumont's necklace becomes snatched by two unscrupulous theives, Penelope and Harvey Yates. They get on the case, find the necklace, and try to keep Polly Potter, Dumont's character's daughter, and hotel clerk Bob Adams together. This is a perfect Marx masterpiece.

4.0 out of 5 stars Why Doesn't Groucho have top billing
