dbo:abstract
  • Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel (zunächst Beagle, Shyster & Beagle) war eine Radioshow mit Groucho und Chico Marx. Es wurden zwischen dem 28. November 1932 und dem 22. Mai 1933 insgesamt 26 halbstündige Folgen ausgestrahlt. Die Sendung wurde von der Standard Oil Company und der Colonial Beacon Oil zur Werbung für die gemeinsamen Esso-Produkte produziert. Die ersten drei Folgen wurden unter dem Namen Beagle, Shyster & Beagle ausgestrahlt. Der Titel wurde geändert, nachdem ein New Yorker Rechtsanwalt mit Namen Beagle eine Verleumdungsklage androhte. Von den originalen Sendungen wurden bis auf die letzte Folge alle Aufnahmen vernichtet, allerdings wurden 1988 von insgesamt 25 Folgen die Originale der von Nat Perrin und Arthur Sheekman verfassten Drehbücher im Archiv der Library of Congress wiederentdeckt. Basierend auf diesen Drehbüchern begann 1990 die BBC, die Serie neu mit Imitatoren von Groucho und Chico Marx aufzunehmen. Im Deutschen gibt es eine Hörspielfassung mit 25 Folgen nach der Übersetzung von Harry Rowohlt und Sven Böttcher, die 1989 als WDR-Produktion aufgenommen wurde. Die drei Hauptrollen werden dabei von Harald Leipnitz (Waldorf T. Flywheel), Stefan Behrens (Emanuel Ravelli) und Corinna Genest (Miss Dimple) gesprochen, in Nebenrollen sind Sprecher wie Gert Haucke, Brigitte Mira, Horst Niendorf, Carolin van Bergen, Wilfried Herbst und Heinz-Theo Branding zu hören.

  • Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel is a situation comedy radio show starring two of the Marx Brothers, Groucho and his older brother Chico Marx, and written primarily by Nat Perrin and Arthur Sheekman. The series was originally broadcast in the United States on the National Broadcasting Company's Blue Network beginning November 28, 1932, and ended May 22, 1933. Sponsored by the Standard Oil Companies of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Louisiana and the Colonial Beacon Oil Company, it was the Monday night installment of the Five-Star Theater, an old-time radio variety series that offered a different program each weeknight. Episodes were broadcast live from NBC's WJZ station in New York City and later from a sound stage at RKO Pictures in Los Angeles, California, before returning to WJZ for the final episodes. The program depicts the misadventures of a small New York law firm, with Groucho as attorney Waldorf T. Flywheel (a crooked lawyer) and Chico as Flywheel's assistant, Emmanuel Ravelli (a half-wit who Flywheel uses as a fall guy). The series was originally titled Beagle, Shyster, and Beagle, with Groucho's character named Waldorf T. Beagle, until a real lawyer from New York named Beagle contacted NBC and threatened to file a lawsuit unless the name was dropped. Many of the episodes' plots were partly or largely based upon Marx Brothers films. The show garnered respectable ratings for its early evening time slot, although a second season was not produced. It was thought that, like most radio shows of the time, the episodes had not been recorded. The episodes were thought entirely lost until 1988, when 25 of the 26 scripts were rediscovered in the Library of Congress storage and republished. Adaptations of the recovered scripts were performed and broadcast in the UK, on BBC Radio 4, between 1990 and 1993. In 1996, some recordings of the original show were discovered (all recorded from the final three episodes), including a complete recording of the last episode to air. (en)
  • Flywheel, Shyster y Flywheel es un programa de radio de comedia protagonizado por dos de los Hermanos Marx , Groucho y Chico , y escrito principalmente por Nat Perrin y Arthur Sheekman . La serie se emitió originalmente en los Estados Unidos en Blue Network de National Broadcasting Company a partir del 28 de noviembre de 1932 y finalizó el 22 de mayo de 1933. Patrocinado por las Standard Oil Companies de New Jersey , Pennsylvania y Louisiana y la Colonial Beacon Oil Company, fue el lunes por la noche el Five-Star Theatre , una serie de variedades de radio antiguas que ofrecía un programa diferente cada noche de semana. Los episodios se transmitieron en vivo desde la estación WJZ de NBC en la ciudad de Nueva York y más tarde desde un escenario de sonido en RKO Pictures en Los Ángeles, California, antes de regresar a WJZ para los episodios finales. El programa describe las desventuras de un pequeño bufete de abogados de Nueva York, con Groucho como el abogado Waldorf T. Flywheel (un abogado torcido) y Chico como asistente de Flywheel, Emmanuel Ravelli (un genio que Flywheel usa como un hombre caído ). La serie originalmente se tituló Beagle, Shyster y Beagle , con el personaje de Groucho llamado Waldorf T. Beagle, hasta que un verdadero abogado de Nueva York llamado Beagle se contactó con NBC y amenazó con presentar una demanda a menos que se eliminara el nombre. Muchas de las tramas de los episodios se basaron en parte o en gran medida en las películas de los Hermanos Marx . El programa obtuvo audiencias respetables por su horario de la tarde, aunque no se produjo una segunda temporada. Se pensó que, como la mayoría de los programas de radio de la época, los episodios no habían sido grabados. Los episodios se pensaron completamente perdidos hasta 1988, cuando 25 de los 26 guiones se redescubrieron en el almacenamiento de la Biblioteca del Congreso y se volvieron a publicar. Las adaptaciones de los guiones recuperados se realizaron y transmitieron en el Reino Unido, en BBC Radio 4 , entre 1990 y 1993. En 1996, se descubrieron algunas grabaciones del programa original (todas grabadas de los últimos tres episodios), incluida una grabación completa del último episodio al aire. (es)

  • Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel fu una serie di radiocomiche, trasmessa negli Stati Uniti, con Groucho Marx e Chico Marx. Nell'autunno del 1932, Groucho Marx e il fratello Chico debuttarono alla radio, su una delle due reti della NBC, in una serie di radiocomiche dal titolo Beagle, Shyster & Beagle, Attorneys at law, sponsorizzate dalla Esso e in onda ogni lunedì sera dalle 19,30 alle 20,00. Per la sceneggiatura furono ingaggiati due giovani scrittori, e Arthur Sheekman, che già avevano collaborato a un paio di film dei fratelli Marx. Successivamente subentrarono George Oppenheimer e . Il primo episodio, rigorosamente in diretta come era costume allora, venne trasmesso la sera del 28 novembre 1932. Poco dopo il debutto della trasmissione, arrivarono le proteste di un avvocato newyorkese di nome Beagle, il quale costrinse i produttori a cambiare il titolo della serie che, a partire dal quarto episodio, si chiamò Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel. Il tema di alcune puntate della serie, ovviamente senza il contributo delle gag mute di Harpo, era strettamente basato sugli eventi del momento, mentre in altri episodi veniva sperimentato nuovo materiale comico o venivano ripresi vecchi numeri che avevano riscosso particolare successo nei film. I due protagonisti della serie, l'avvocato truffaldino Waldorf T. Flywheel (Groucho) e il suo inetto braccio destro di origine italiana Emmanuel Ravelli (Chico) dettero vita a copioni farseschi, ricchissimi di battute fulminanti e di sketch comici. Dopo ventisei puntate, il 22 maggio 1933, la serie si interruppe per le vacanze estive e non venne più ripresa. I motivi più plausibili potrebbero essere ricondotti all'orario infelice di messa in onda, che non raccoglieva un pubblico di ascoltatori sufficientemente numeroso da giustificare i duemila dollari di stipendio dei Marx, alla concorrenza di altri programmi con più alti indici di ascolto e dall'intenzione di Groucho e Chico di ritornare al cinema. Groucho commentò più tardi con il suo consueto humour: Le vendite del prodotto da noi reclamizzato erano aumentate vertiginosamente. I profitti della società raddoppiarono in breve volgere di tempo, e la Esso si sentiva un po' in colpa per tutti quei soldi. Quindi ci mollò, dopo ventisei puntate. Era l'epoca dei Rimorsi Aziendali, che oggi non ci sono più. Non esistono registrazioni della serie, ma i copioni di tutti gli episodi (tranne il ventunesimo) furono depositati alla Library of Congress (la biblioteca che tutela i diritti d'autore negli Stati Uniti), dove lo scrittore Michael Barson li ha recuperati dagli archivi e ricomposti per il volume Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel - The Marx Brother's lost radio show (1988), edito in Italia da Bompiani con il titolo Legali da legare.
