Reviews

"Hail, Hail, Euphoria! is the most lyrical, insightful, scholarly, illuminating and celebratory 144 pages I've ever sat down with. This book is a stream of fun." -- Wall Street Journal "Roy Blount Jr. knows from humor. In [Hail, Hail, Euphoria!], he sets out to remedy the lack of a scene-by-scene commentary on the Marx Brothers' greatest movie, the sublimely nonsensical Duck Soup." -- Washington Post "An essential read for Marx Brothers fans, those curious about the melding of war and humor in film, and browsers looking for a good read." -- Library Journal "Readers will enjoy the stories behind this iconic film and the careers of the Marx Brothers." -- Booklist "Roy Blount Jr. deconstructs the Marx Brothers' magic." -- Los Angeles Times
