Unlike many acts in the entertainment industry with the word “Brothers” in their title, the Marx Brothers really were brothers. Their career spanned the decades from 1905 to 1949 (some of them continued on individually) and included vaudeville, Broadway and movies. They made thirteen movies, two of them are in the top 12 of the list of comedies compiled by the American Film Institute.
