The Marx Brothers Love Happy Confidential takes a look at the comedy team’s final theatrical motion picture, “Love Happy.” Loved by some and loathed by others, the making of the movie was neither “happy” nor involved much brotherly “love.” Originated as a solo project for Harpo Marx, “Love Happy” morphed into a monster, and controversy concerning its writer, Ben Hecht, and producer, Lester Cowan, damaged what was left. Groucho Marx selected Marilyn Monroe to be in the picture when Cowan invited to the audition, which included two other women. The book presents a historical last curtain call for the brothers on film. Some gags performed in the movie were excellent, and in time, fans have shown some love for the film.
