A 1931 feature from Paramount Pictures, celebrating their 20th anniversary. The hour-length feature includes a brief history of Paramount, interviews with various actors, and clips from upcoming projects (some of which actually never came to fruition).

The film is most notable for a six-minute short starring the Marx Brothers, intended to promote their upcoming film Monkey Business. The short film, which never featured into any other Marx Brother picture, is a re-working of the first scene of their first successful Broadway play I'll Say She Is (which, incidently, Groucho considered the funniest work in the Brothers' career). Except for a few name changes and additional gags, the scene is almost completely the same as the script used for the stage production.

The Marx Brothers' segment is currently available as a special feature on the direct-to-DVD documentary Inside the Marx Brothers.
