The House That Shadows Built




The film is most notable for a six-minute Short starring the Marx Brothers , intended to promote their forthcoming film '' Monkey Business ''. The short film, which never featured in any other Marx Brother film, is a re-working of the first scene of their first successful Broadway play '' I'll Say She Is '' (which Groucho considered to have been the funniest work in the Brothers' career). Except for a few name changes and additional gags, the scene is almost completely the same as the script used for the stage production. Some of the gags had been worked into the lobby scene in '' The Cocoanuts ''.

The Marx Brothers' segment is currently available as a special feature on the direct-to- DVD documentary ''Inside the Marx Brothers'', albeit in poor condition.
