Groucho passed away about a month after I was born. Even though I was a newborn baby, I'm delighted to have shared even a month on the earth at the same time as such a legend.
@multikingjd Zeppo was said to be the funniest in real life. He was the straight man in the act and his true comedic talents will never be known. He died in 1979.
@zxc545454 I'm not at all surprised about Zeppo. I got that distinct impression about him in the group photos that were taken of the bro's. He was all back there going w0000000t while the rest of them were all, 8-|
@zxc545454 Thanx for letting me know about Zeppo, I had no idea he lived that long. I know Groucho died in 1977, unfortunately it was the same week Elvise died so it didn't get any press
i'm looking for a good marx brothers song - trouble is i can't remember what it is or what it was about! anyone help me? it was quite a fun song, possibly first heard in flywheel shyster and flywheel
Did anybody notice that there were 2 guitars used in the canoe? A nice one with a pick-guard while he was playing, and another with no pick-guard in the last scene where he threw the guitar in the water.

I never realized how much this song is like If I Only Had a Brain (Heart, the Nerve) from Wizard of Oz. This from years earlier, of course. Interesting.
Thanks to all who posted versions of this, but yours it the highest quality both in sound and video. Thank you so much!!! It's FABULOUS!
Now, can you post the "Gee, you're swell" "Am I?" "You wanna know?" etc. exchange between Groucho (Wolf) and Tony Martin from The Big Store? I LOVE that scene!
That was probably equivalent to ten times as much today back then. and in the 1930s when the great depression was in full swing $150 would have gone a long way
@MelonHeadFilmz - An L5 (a new one, not a vintage one which would be much more) costs $10,000.00 now. $150 was a lot of money in the early 1930s, but it wasn't the equivalent of 10 grand now.
@jdpotc123 you know, at first when I heard of him and his womanizing I didnt get how he could get so many women to fall.... but everytime he fires of a smile it suddenly makes sense. he had charm, thats for sure...
did she just ask him if he was going to make love to her? lol they were really up front back then

Chico's version is my fave - Thelma's face when he finishes singing is PRICELESS.

It's not in the clip, but Thelma Todd says (roughly) to Grouch, "Oh professor; you're so full of whimsy!"
So Grouch says, "Really, you can tell from there? I'm always this way after I eat radishes!"

The lady is Thelma Todd.
The second biggest cover-up of a murder in Hollywood.
She was on the rise to rival Lombard and Lake. This fil - 'Horse Feathers' really made her.
Harpo is the only one who knows who he loves :-)
Harpo is my fave.

Although I look more like Karl and talk like Groucho, when I am not tooting my own horn like Harpo, I think I am a Chico Marxist.

@Raven44142 That drives me mad every year on the radio when they're talking about Elvis' death; Groucho barely ever gets mentioned.

@got2tryagain That's because the first guitar was Groucho's own Gibson L5. Even in 1932, no one would throw a Gibson L5 into a lake.

Notice the guitar switch when he's talking to the duck.
Even though that Gibson only cost about $150 back then, it was too nice to sink.

I wonder whether Chico was the first jewgine* to appear on film.
A Jewgine, in the New York area, is a Jewish guy who passes himself off as Italian, e.g. Dice Clay and The Fonz.
