The Marx Brothers as social critics

"The Marx Brothers' films are packed with slapstick and obvious jokes. But beneath the laughs is a serious condemnation of American culture. This book examines historical events, political practices, economic conditions, manners, customs, literary subjects, and popular entertainment as satirized in the films and considers the ways in which the films were relevant in their era and today"--Provided by publisher.
