Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel: The Marx Brothers' Lost Radio Show


Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel was a short lived radio situation comedy aired for 26 weeks beginning in November 1932 on the NBC Blue radio network, and which starred two of the Marx Brothers, Groucho and Chico. Groucho played attorney "Waldorf T. Flywheel" and Chico played "Emmanuel Ravelli", a character lifted directly from the film Animal Crackers (1930). According to Stefan Kanfer in his biography Groucho (2000), Harpo was paid a weekly salary for not appearing on the show. Adaptations of recovered scripts from the original Marx Brothers radio show were performed before modern audiences and broadcast on BBC Radio 4.This experiment proved highly successful, and two further series followed. The lead roles were taken by professional soundalikes Michael Roberts (playing Groucho Marx, as Waldorf T Flywheel) and Frank Lazarus (playing Chico Marx, as Emmanuel Ravelli); the cast also included Lorelei King playing all the female roles, and the show attracted guest stars of the calibre of Spike Milligan and Dick Vosburgh.
