Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dj. First Edition. [no discernible wear to book; jacket shows only light surface- and edge-wear]. (The MGM Library of Film Scripts) Series (B&W photographs) In their second M-G-M outing, Groucho, Harpo and Chico (now permanently Zeppo-less) take on the medical profession, with Groucho as Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush, a horse doctor posing as the medical director of a sanitarium. Both the original script and the dialogue and action from the film as released are presented, it sez here, "because the final film differs so much from the script."

Hardcover. Condition: New. Photographs (illustrator). 1st Edition. A Day at the Races, which was one of the Marx Brothers' own favorites among their films, was also their most successful at the box office, setting a record for them by earning $4,000,000 after its release in 1937. A broad, outrageous satire of the medical profession, it pictures doctors as incompetent, self-serving people whose practices are less than pure and whose patients are vain hypochondriacs. In the film, Groucho plays Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush, a veteran horse doctor posing as the medical director of Standish Sanitarium, whose young and pretty owner is in danger of losing her mortgage to a ruthless real-estate manipulator and owner of a nearby racetrack, who in turn has plans to turn the hospital into a casino. Enter Groucho, Chico, and Harpo, out to save not only the sanitarium but also the romance between Judy Standish (Maureen O'Sullivan) and Gil Stewart (Allan Jones), and their own integrity. All they have to do is convince the rich Mrs. Upjohn (Margaret Dumont, whose performance in this film won her the Screen Actors Guild award for Best Supporting Actress) that she is too ill to pick up her money and leaveâ"a classic Marx routine all by itselfâ"and help Allan Jones hold onto the race horse he's bought long enough to win a race and some money, marry Judy, and save the institution. Together the Marxes tumble through a series of riotously funny predicaments, and the gags fly as fast and furious as a panicked Thoroughbred. Based on a story by scenarists George Seaton and Robert Pirosh, A DAY AT THE RACES has all the irrepressible Marx Brothers i full swing, with al their exasperating punning and comic cunning, and in what is, without a doubt, one of their all-time funniest movies. A Day at the Races was a collaboration of three veteran Hollywood screenwriters, GEORGE SEATON, ROBERT PIROSH, and GEORGE OPPENHEIMER. Seaton, who is a producer as well as a writer, has also won two Academy Awards for his direction of Miracle on 34th Street in 1947, and of County Girl in 1954, and in 1962 was the recipient of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Oppenheimer, co-founder of The Viking Press, has been drama critic for the Long Island, New York, paper Newsday since 1955, having spent fourteen years in Hollywood writing for the screen and five additional years writing for the television series Topper. Because the final film differs so much from the script, this volume includes both the original script and the dialogue and actors in the film itself. All orders shipped protected in a box. Book.

Softcover. Condition: Gut. 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.

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.
