Unknown Marx Brothers Excerpt

I got this from the PBS special "The Unknown Marx Brothers", which is narrated by Leslie Nielsen. This clip attempts to explain how the boys got their nicknames, and I'm told that Chico is speaking in his real voice (instead of his usual italian impersonation) during the BBC interview. Buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Marx-Brothers-Harpo/dp/1572522097/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&am...

This has indeed been edited from the VHS version I saw. I edited Chico's full comments on the Grouch bag into a video I uploaded called ChicoGrouchBag . It's also on Groucho's page at the Very Important Potheads website.

I remember seeing something about them and the narrator said that out of costume, you had a hard time telling Chico and Harpo apart :)

[gingerfu91]

Is it just me or did they give like three different stories on how Zeppo got his name?

@mykmmc Groucho: "I kept my money in a 'grouch bag.' This was a small chamois bag that actors used to wear around their neck to keep other hungry actors from pinching their dough. Naturally, you're going to think that's where I got my name from. But that's not so. Grouch bags were worn on manly chests long before there was a Groucho." -Wikipedia
