Documentary program about real-life disasters and tragedies. I'm not sure of the backstory for this. It has all the markings of a pilot for a TV series that never happened. It's hosted by husband and wife Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland, both ill-suited for the job. Bronson appears most, and even narrates and interviews survivors of the various events discussed. Ireland reads her cue cards like she's an unwilling hostage. Bronson is, of course, a legendary actor but here he's just unassuming and quiet and lacking the kind of outgoing personality and energy one typically expects from a host. The most obvious comparison for this show is In Search Of with Leonard Nimoy, which shares the same production company as this. The use of narration over stock footage and synthy musical choices are similar to that series, but this fails to match that show in atmosphere or quality. It's not even sensational or ghoulish as later shows about real tragedies would be. This is a curiosity piece at best for fans of Bronson or history buffs who might be interested in the interviews.

Red Skelton plays a small town movie fan with dreams of being a star. He gets his opportunity, albeit not as he would have hoped. He wanted to be a romantic leading man and instead he becomes a (unintentional) comedy sensation. Along the way he's helped by a stuntwoman who falls for him. Rare leading lady role for Virginia O'Brien, a wonderful comic actress known for singing songs in a deadpan style. No singing here, but she does get lots of Eve Arden-esque lines opposite Skelton's clueless hero. This was basically and sadly the end of her movie career. She was done with MGM and essentially the business shortly after. Gloria Grahame is great in a fun part as the vampy Hollywood star Skelton's character is in love with. This story had been filmed at least twice before, the best of which was the 1932 version with Stuart Erwin and Joan Blondell. Skelton puts his own touch on things, for better or worse. I think he was fairly dialed back here, maybe too much so. Still, I enjoyed the picture.

"Final" Marx Bros. Film is mostly a vehicle for Harpo with musical numbers and romantic subplot featuring Vera-Ellen and Paul Valentine. Groucho narrates the whole thing as a detective. The film cuts away to him several times before he joins the main story late in the picture. He's funny as expected, although most of his stuff feels tacked-on. Chico has a smaller part but still gets a couple of funny bits including a piano scene. The brothers share no scenes together as a trio but Harpo gets short bits with each separately. Marilyn Monroe appears with Groucho in one memorable scene. It's an entertaining movie. Don't go into it with the expectation that it's going to be a proper Marx Bros. Movie like their 30s classics. Just take it on its own terms and you might enjoy it. Vera-Ellen has a great dance number, Ilona Massey has amazing cleavage, and the supporting cast includes several fun characters. By the way, I watched this on blu-ray and while the picture quality is amazing, HD does the brothers no favors in hiding their age.
