26 “The Marx Brothers In A Nutshell” In A Nutshell
The Marx Brothers Council Podcast - A podcast by Matthew Coniam, Noah Diamond, Bob Gassel
Our long overdue look at the definitive Marx Brothers documentary, with special guests, producer/meme Robert B. Weide, and writer/editor Joe Adamson. The guys take us on Nutshell’s long journey, full of roadblocks and last minute scrambling. How did they get both Paramount and MGM clips when told it was impossible? Why did PBS viewers not see Woody Allen, and no one see Betty Marx? What happens when you ask Gene Kelly to do a retake? These and other questions you never asked will all be answered...
