Multicolor Marx Brothers (1930) - with sound (HQ)

This is a sound version of the famous Multicolor bit featuring Marx Brothers. The soundtrack is taken from the original Animal Crackers film and, except for Groucho's first words, I managed to synchronise the rest of the sounds and talk.

Is this a rehersal? Which would explain why Harpo doesn't have his wig or trench coat on?

@william2jack3 Not really a rehearsal, I think they did it specialy for the color film camera.

@MADGennaro Zeppo once stood in for Groucho during a stage performance of Animal Crackers when Groucho had his appendix removed. They all looked alike!

@william2jack3 I believe they filmed these tiny segments to help experiment with color film.

The raw footage of this came from the can of film for the fashion short 'Goodnight Sweetheart'

Harpo without his wig resembles of Zeppo.
