Marx Brothers and vaudeville


Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski have written biopics about Andy Kaufman, Ed Wood, and Larry Flynt. A while back I read that they were planning one telling the story of the Marx Brothers in their vaudeville days. It seems to have been put on the back burner.

That's a story needing to be told, not only about the five brothers (and Mom), but about vaudeville in general.
