(5 estrellas; 2 reseñas)

Experience the only known extracts of the Marx Brothers' radio comedy, including the complete episode titled "The Ocean Cruise." This series, which aired during the 1932-33 season, was part of NBC's "Five Star Theater," featuring a variety of programming throughout the week.

Originally titled "Beagle, Shyster, and Beagle," the show was renamed due to a legal threat from an actual attorney named Beagle. The comedy features Groucho Marx as Waldorf T. Flywheel and Chico Marx as Emanuel Revelli, showcasing their unique humor and wit.

Most of the scripts have been published in the book "Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel: The Marx Brothers' Lost Radio Show," edited by Michael Barson. Join us for a delightful journey into the world of classic radio comedy!

BBC version


BBC made a new version of this series in the 1990's. Well worth checking out. Same title.
