There's a subtle and underlying tragedy here which is more heartbreaking the more it sinks in. Groucho mentions Chico, Harpo and Margaret Dumont and wishes they were all there with him.

How bittersweet it must've been for Groucho, to stand before all these people acknowledging the amazing work of which he was, ultimately, only a quarter of. I don't mean to belittle Groucho in the slightest, far from it.

While it's tragic to be the first, among a group, to pass away it's sadder still to be last.

Julius Marx....perhaps the funniest, and certainly one of the most talented, men to ever walk on this planet.

Fleming got what she deserved. Bitch was abusive to this legend in his increasingly frail years, not worth being mentioned in the speech. R.I.P Marx brothers
