vii ; 276 p. Slightly discolored and stained, otherwise good. - The MGM Library of Film Scripts consists of a collection of screenplays from that renowned Hollywood studios classic motion picturesthe kind they just dont seem to make any more, but whose popularity keeps increasing with age. Each volume contains the full script of the movie, annotated to show how the final film was changed, and includes thirty to forty stills. With Ninotchka, North by Northwest, and Adams Rib already published, A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races, and Singin in the Rain are also available in both cloth and paperbound editions. -- A Day at the Races was one of the Marx Brothers own favorites among their films and was also their most successful at the box office. A broad, outrageous satire of the medical profession, it depicts doctors as incompetent, self-serving idiots whose motives are less than pure and whose patients are vain hypochondriacs. In it, Groucho plays Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush, a quacky horse doctor posing as the head of Standish Sanitarium, which is in danger of being lost to the owner of a nearby racetrack, who has plans to turn the hospital into a casino. Enter Groucho, Chico, and Harpo to save the day, a love affair, and themselves from mortifying exploitation. Together they tumble through a series of riotously funny predicaments, seemingly able only to complicate matters rather than to relieve them, and the gags fly fast and furious. Based on a story by scenarist George Seaton and Robert Pirosh, A Day at the Races has the Marx Brothers in full swing, with all their irrepressible punning and classic comic cunning, and is, without a doubt, one of their funniest films.
