I make skits that are chock-full of puns and one-liners, please take a look and let me know what you think! I'm a huge fan of The Marx Brothers and want to reach out to an audience who likes that sense of humor
One day Harpo stopped by New York’s Astroia Sudios to visit a friend who was working on this movie. One of the other actors didn’t show up, so Harpo was recruited on the spot to play the part. There is supposed to be another scene earlier in the film where the guy who is tied up is picking on Harpo.
The shot of him taking a drink of water is pure Harpo.
LOL I always thought people would think it was wierd that I had an enormous crush on Harpo. But looking at the cooments, I see that I'm not the only one. Cool! Love this clip
@missgibbdreamer lol women called Susan are lucky! I like a comedian from my country (DAniel Rabinovich) and his wife is called susan. I like harpo too

You got to hand it to The Marx Brothers, they were around at the great transition of silent films into "talkies" (sound films) and took advantage of it so well
Wow Harpo was really Handsome when he was young and when he was old but he was never as handsome as Desi Arnaz i mean that guy was Serious Yowzer! and Desi Waz handsome both young and old. R.I.P Both of them.
I remember seeing a documentary on the Marx brothers containing this clip -- I believe the rest of the film is lost. Harpo's only "speaking" role in a film was in this silent movie. i think they used this gag in Night at the Opera or a variation of it
Harpo's adorable, isn't he? Posing the guy to hit him. He's definitely my favorite Marx brother. Ever seen him on Lucy? He does the mirror thing with her b/c she's dressed like him. It's hilarious.
It was an Irish accent, actually. According to his autobiography, Harpo's character started out as an Irish immigrant called Patsy Brannigan (hence the red wig).
Wow this is great thank you so much for posting, how do you find these! I've been trying to come across the episode of I've Got a Secret, where Chico dresses as Harpo, for ages and I've had NO luck!
Aha! We finally have a movie in which Harpo has dialogue!! : )

Too funny. In the sound films, he never talks. In the silent film, he does. Now THAT is funny.

The way Harpo "posed" the guy before crackng him upside the head was very Charlie Chaplinesque.

This may be the closest Harpo ever came to talking in a movie. I understand that he used to perform with a Scottish accent while on stage.
