when i be 8 year old and and go through my marx brother phase and my father read in the tv guide that they be show the marx brother film and the big store late on friday night and and set the vcr to tape it for me . when i wake up on saturday due no doubt to a misprint in the tv guide my father and i discover the story of mankind have be record instead . the big store be probably one of the least funny of all the marx brother movie and nevertheless it stand a one of the century fine work of cinema when compare with the story of mankind . i can almost justify tv guide error and in that the marx brother groucho and chico and and harpo appear in both movie . although in the story of mankind and they be divide up into a series of unrelated scene represent groucho play peter minuit and chico play some guy talk to christopher columbus and and harpo play isaac newton . harpo scene last about half a minute while chico only have two or three line while groucho scene be at least funny and but horribly racially insensitive by today standard . the rest of the movie doesn not bear mention . they trot out some of the fine actor of the day and and make them recite total garbage . what a disappointment . tv guide and i sent you a nice letter and i be still wait for an apology . for the record represent the big store have a wonderful bit of physical comedy with the marx brother on roller skate and and a couple of song by virginia obrien . i be really look forward to see it .
