The book delves into the rich tapestry of cultural references and in-jokes found in Marx Brothers films, exploring phrases like "habeas Irish rose" and the significance of the "trial of Mary Dugan." It examines the comedic legacy of these films and how their humor, steeped in theatrical and literary allusions, can confuse contemporary viewers. By unpacking these elements, the book offers insights into the era's humor and the Marx Brothers' unique comedic style.
