Win classic movies on DVD

Marxism today...
A new box set of Marx brothers movies is released on DVD on Monday – and we’ve got a handful to give away.

The new set comprises The Cocoanuts, Room Service, Love Happy and A Girl In Every Port.

The Cocoanuts was the first Marx Brothers movie ever, an adaptation of their hugely successful Broadway stage show. Ii was also the first musical comedy captured on film.

1949’s Love Happy was the last film the brothers headlined and features a cameo from Marilyn Monroe when she was a 23-year-old aspiring starlet

In Room Service, Groucho plays a theatrical producer holed up in a hotel room; he doesn't have a cent but he does have a sure-fire Broadway hit, while A Girl In Every Port was Groucho's second solo outing for RKO, in which he played a scheming sailor.

The new £34.99 set is a follow-up to Universal Pictures’ first best-selling Marx Brothers Collection of Animal Crackers, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers and Duck Soup.

Also out on Monday is an eight-disc box set combining all the titles in both releases, priced £49.99.

But we have three sets of the eight-disc collection and three of the new four-film set to give away to Chortle readers.

To stand a chance of winning one of our prize sets, answer the following question by October 23, when we will randomly select winners from all answers received. Bulk entrants from mailing services will be disqualified.

Good luck!


Who was Groucho Marx’s long-suffering, humourless female foil, who first appeared with the brothers in The Cocoanuts?
