I've never seen any of these films. Worth a blind buy?
Who dat man? It's Gabriel!
[People are gonna think I was being sarcastic, but I do actually find it funny -- in an astounding kind of way -- just how wrong some of those scenes are by today's standards. I'm also quite glad they're getting released uncut, regardless.]
I don't understand why the studio would put the extras on the discs that people will buy anyway, rather than putting them on the ones that people might be on the fence for. Actually, I wish they just had more extras in general. Even little ones. Why is there nothing on 'Night in Casablanca' about the invented controversy regarding the title?

I'm just confused on what I should get. I love the Marx Brothers I have seen and I am definitely planning on getting A Night at the Opera, but don't think I need the whole set. How are the other movies? Is there one in there that I should definitely get? How do the other ones stack up to ones like Duck Soup, A Night at the Opera and Animal Crackers?
