Why Chico Marx was a great straight man for Groucho and Harpo

From October 2014: Bill Marx, son of Harpo Marx, talks to Ed about how all four Marx Brothers were good athletes as well as gifted comedians; how the Brothers "trained" every week for twenty years, honing their act in vaudeville and on Broadway before they made movies; and why Chico was such a great straight man for both Harpo and Groucho. An accomplished musician in his own right, Bill Marx is also executive producer of The Marx Brothers TV Collection, a DVD configuration featuring some of the Brothers' many appearances on television, collectively and individually, throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
