Critical Praise
“Hail, Hail, Euphoria! is the most lyrical, insightful, scholarly, illuminating and celebratory 144 pages I’ve ever sat down with. This book is a stream of fun.” —Wall Street Journal

“An essential read for Marx Brothers fans, those curious about the melding of war and humor in film, and browsers looking for a good read.” —Library Journal
“Readers will enjoy the stories behind this iconic film and the careers of the Marx Brothers.” —Booklist
“Roy Blount Jr. deconstructs the Marx Brothers’ magic.” —Los Angeles Times
