    That breakfast eating scene from Room Service is one of the best comedic eating scenes of all time! Whenever I see diced fried potatos or hashbrowns like that, I always think of Harpo! RIP boys!

    😂😂.... What a treat! Margaret Dumont is here too..😊 We were young when an aunt insisted we saw our first Marx Brothers film...in the 70s.. A night at the Opera was the first one and with young and adult friends in Beirut, we would repeat all the funny lines of their major hits for days 😹

    Full disclosure, I wasn't 100% paying attn; I had it on while cooking. Having said that I thought it was all one movie & from the bit at the beginning, was expecting big holes or for it to end abruptly.
    Amazing job!!!
