How it begins
The year is 1935. You are Sam Wood, the director of the four Marx Brothers' first picture for MGM studios. All you need to do is get one shot rehearsed and in the can before lunch, but the boys refuse to cooperate. Chico wants to run off to meet his bookie, Groucho wants to sit in his dressing room and read, Zeppo is working deals on the phone, and Harpo is just driving you six ways to nutsville. Thalberg's ready to fire you--better call action, and fast!
