4 Differing perspectives on love: Zeppo: Love is the most meaningful and beautiful thing there is. Harpo: Love is a feeling, a good feeling. Don't talk about it, just feel it, because that's where the meaning is. Chico: I dunno what love is exactly, but it cant be that bad if everyone does it! Groucho: Love exists to make animals breed, is more trouble then its worth for humanity, and is best avoided.
Groucho didn't follow his own advice, if he is behind the one who gave it above. For one thing, no one is ever at the center of a love triangle faster than one of his characters. He can move his lines faster than a fisherman

this is the best comment i've seen on youtube in a long time
A book on the Marx Brothers says he was dubbed, but I don't know. He was a part, along with the other 4 brothers (even Gummo, who Zeppo replaced), of the original singing act their mother Minnie kind of forced them into. Fate turned them into a comedy act though. Thank you fate!
The brothers were all incredibly talented musicians. We never got to see enough of Groucho's guitar playing. He is said to have practiced daily on his beloved Gibson L5, the same model that Mother Maybelle Carter played. His playing is very reminiscent of the accompaniment style of Eddie Lang, who is often called the father of jazz guitar. I don't know if Zeppo played an instrument, but he's not a bad singer.
I was wondering if Groucho really threw his beautiful L5 into the water. If you look carefully, the guitar he throws is not the same one. Probably a $10 Sears Roebuck guitar.
I read a great book on all the tin pan alley people, and I forget who it was, but one of the riders would play the piano, and he used to say I can play any song as long as it's in C.lol. Well the piano is definitely a C major instrument, I guess you can argue it's also A minor, But any songI can be easily transposed any other key. So as funny as his comment was, it was probably something that was true. Groucho playing the guitar. That is an absolutely beautiful Gibson. I believe it's 1928 and I forget the model number, but it can be easily found. Of course, the guitar that he throws in the lake is not the same guitar he plays! They had a cheapo standby for that.Groucho took the guitar very seriously and had lessons at his house and would play for people when they came over.
groucho's is totally the best one: everyone says I love you but just what they say it for I never knew. It’s just inviting trouble for the poor sucker who says I love you. Take a pair of rabbits who get stuck on each other and begin to woo, and pretty soon you’ll find a million more rabbits who say I love you. When the lion gets feelin frisky and begins to roar there’s another lion who knows just what he’s roaring for Everything that ever grew... the goose, and the gander, and the gosling too the duck upon the water when he feels that way too says... quack, quack, quack That’s a wise-quack. You keep your bill outta this, how'd you like it if I butted into your affairs and laid an egg? *THROWS GUITAR!*
The guitar he was playing was his top-of-the-line Gibson. It's an F holed guitar. The one he throws into the water was a regular guitar with a sound hole.
The members of Queen were big Marx Brothers fans and even named 2 albums using the name of Marx Brothers' movies. They wrote a song named Flat Bottomed Girls. I always wondered if they got that from Groucho's complaint about riding in a canoe when he said "I don't know. I wanted a flat bottom but the girl in the boat house didn't have one".
As much as I love Grouchos wit. My favourite is definitely Harpo. Though to be honest zeppo was the best looking one of them. I just love their movies. Never get tired of watching them the sanaty clause with chicos and groucho brilliant. 🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️😂😂😂💖💖👍👍👍👍
I was studying cinema at college and, of course, each class was dedicated to a film. Well, in one day it was "Horse Feathers". When Groucho appeared in the scene, contrasting with his brothers, the audience bursts into laughter! Oh, good memories... the other moment I remember of these classes was when, after the screening of "Singin' in the Rain", the audience gave a standing ovation.
One of my all time faves (I once bought a bootleg David Bowie LP and the bootleggers stuck Groucho's part of this in the middle of two Bowie Songs) I laughed so hard I couldn't contain myself.... It didn't make any sense but I liked it....
i think of the rowboat scene often, especially of the part when thelma says to groucho "oh, you'll be perfectly safe in this boat", with a wry smile. this line was a play on the scene in the previous year's "an american tragedy" wherein sylvia sydney pleadingly asks philips holmes "will i be perfectly safe?" upon the latter inviting her for a row boat ride.
The break of the 4th wall is great as well. Many people think it is so funny about Deadpool but Groucho already did it in 1932 or something around that time.
Not shown is Harpo’s beautiful, embellished version on harp. I’ve been doing this tune on mandolin and looked up “The Peanut Vendor’s Song” as part of a medley. It’s been done, showing up in a Max Fleisher cartoon a year after this release. A lobby card shot from this film, “Horse Feathers”, was a cover of Time Magazine that year.
DUCK SOUP is only 65 minutes long in the theater! Recently saw it up in San Francisco at The Castro, and it was still hilarious as always. It played alongside The Great Dictator with Charlie Chaplin as a double feature a night before Trump's Inauguration.
Groucho's sarcastic version is the best. Chico's runs a close second. Chico's name is actually pronounced "Chick-o". He got his name because he spent a lot of time chasing women. Guys that engaged in that sort of behavior were called "Chicken Chasers".
I wish their were blooper reels back then... because that my friend-judging by the anecdotes from "Harpo Speaks" harpo's autobiography-would be hysterical! :D
It's not in the clip, but Thelma Todd says (roughly) to Grouch, "Oh professor; you're so full of whimsy!" So Grouch says, "Really, you can tell from there? I'm always this way after I eat radishes!"
The lady is Thelma Todd. The second biggest cover-up of a murder in Hollywood. She was on the rise to rival Lombard and Lake. This fil - 'Horse Feathers' really made her. Harpo is the only one who knows who he loves :-) Harpo is my fave.
Thelma Todd died mysteriously, and it's widely believed she was murdered by gangsters who wanted to muscle her out of a successful restaurant she owned. Groucho's first marriage was dying, and he had hoped to date Thelma, had she returned his overtures. Note the change of guitars when Groucho plays his own, then throws a cheap guitar into the lake. Zeppo's singing voice is highlighted in this film. Though severely under played in the movies, Zeppo is know to have contrived many of the more clever jokes for his brothers, especially Harpo, who was in constant need of sight gags.
Not trolling here, but there are people that say this isn’t Zeppo’s singing. For his real singing voice, watch Monkey Business when they sing Sweet Adeline”
@@PRR5406 no, this is Zappo's v Compare it to the beginning of "Hooray for captain Spaulding," in "animal crackers," when he sings, "I represent the captain who..."
yes he sang Street version is Thelma Todd, which dissolves into Harpo feeding his horse whistling it. Then Chico is there a music teacher ( if you stepped out to the lobby) who also sings it to the college Widow, shooting the keys at a convenient piano. Groucho plays guitar in the canoe and somewhere in there Harpo serenaded Thelma on the harp. She blows him a kiss.
If you're pressed for time, pick it up around the 1:30 mark - as a blonde beauty is singing scales for her teacher, Chico who sings his take on Everyone Says I Love You: HE: You sing-ah high, eh? SHE: Yes, I have a falsetto voice . . . HE: Ah, that's-ah funny - my last pupil she have-a false-a setta teeth. My musical father wasn't a particular fan of the Marx Brothers humor -- but as a pianist he was crazy about Chico -- pretending NOT to be the virtuoso he really was, and making it all look easy. Thanx MaxPower34ca for sharing.
Listening carefully to the audio track, it's interesting to wonder exactly how this was recorded for each one of the brothers. Zeppo sings beautifully to a playback ( it's interesting to note that Thelma Todd doesn't sing it all in this film except a few notes when she's at the piano with Chico), we don't actually see Chico's fingers on the keyboard until he begins to play the introduction to his solo, " Collegiate, " after he sings, " everyone says I love you " to Thelma, and then he has an orchestra backing him up, if sparingly. whatever they did with the audio it was beautifully done and it is the original track to the film as it was released. Harpoon does his solo, solo and in full view, and the orchestra just comes in to back him up for the Finish. And as we can see, Groucho did his verse in the canoe with Thelma all by himself, clearly chording the guitar with his fingers and strumming it lightly without No Orchestra. Thank you for posting!.. Although I wouldn't of edited it this way
Thanks to all who posted versions of this, but yours it the highest quality both in sound and video. Thank you so much!!! It's FABULOUS! Now, can you post the "Gee, you're swell" "Am I?" "You wanna know?" etc. exchange between Groucho (Wolf) and Tony Martin from The Big Store? I LOVE that scene!
If I ever become a record label artist, I'm sampling Marx Brothers every day! Whether it be Groucho's witty improvised lines, Chico's piano playing, even Harpo's harp. Hell, I'll use this to top it off
I don't think they cut it. First Chico. plays and sings "everyone says I love you. " Then he stops for a moment to talk to her, then he plays his own pistol finger, shoot-the-keys version of "collegiate,"" and that's it, that's the whole scene
OMG Everybody needs to watch this with the CC on. It is so off that it's a whole new level of hilarious! ROFL! Also, Zeppo is the straight man. He's not supposed to be funny. lol
@@darknessanddistance4469 Yes. The one he was playing was a Gibson L5 (I think), an F-holed guitar. The one he threw into the lake had a round sound hole and was obviously a cheap "throw away" guitar.
@zxc545454 Thanx for letting me know about Zeppo, I had no idea he lived that long. I know Groucho died in 1977, unfortunately it was the same week Elvise died so it didn't get any press
@MelonHeadFilmz - An L5 (a new one, not a vintage one which would be much more) costs $10,000.00 now. $150 was a lot of money in the early 1930s, but it wasn't the equivalent of 10 grand now.
I think it was Zeppo’s second wife who allegedly asked, shortly after their marriage, if she was now Jewish because Zeppo was; to which he replied “No, you’re Jewish by injection”. 😂
@zxc545454 I'm not at all surprised about Zeppo. I got that distinct impression about him in the group photos that were taken of the bro's. He was all back there going w0000000t while the rest of them were all, 8-|
I wonder whether Chico was the first jewgine* to appear on film. A Jewgine, in the New York area, is a Jewish guy who passes himself off as Italian, e.g. Dice Clay and The Fonz.

“I love good music”
“So do I, let’s get out of here”
I’ve never laughed so hard at something this old before lmfao 😂🤣
Groucho says that's crazy things at random and out of control but they always make sense in some sort of a bizarre way
@@rufust.firefly2474
Yeah lol, sometimes it takes more than one watch to get his sarcasm lol
"Don't look now, but there's one man too many in this room and I think it's you."
@@rufust.firefly2474
Lol that’s a good one. What movie is that from ? Haha
Duck Soup. About Groucho being the leader of freedonia
The brothers were all incredibly talented musicians. We never got to see enough of Groucho's guitar playing. He is said to have practiced daily on his beloved Gibson L5, the same model that Mother Maybelle Carter played. His playing is very reminiscent of the accompaniment style of Eddie Lang, who is often called the father of jazz guitar.
I don't know if Zeppo played an instrument, but he's not a bad singer.
And this was the only film in which he got to do anything but play Groucho secretary.
I was wondering if Groucho really threw his beautiful L5 into the water. If you look carefully, the guitar he throws is not the same one. Probably a $10 Sears Roebuck guitar.
You may notice that Groucho's guitar is tuned a step low to DGCFAD. He plays like the song is in C but it's in Bb.
Zeppo apparently played a fantastic saxophone. The closest we get to see it is a tiny bit in "Monkey Business."
Aha! @@willgalison
THEY WERE SO INCREDIBLE THEY TOOK SHOW BIZ TO.A NEW LEVEL. WE LL NEVER SEE THEIR LIKES AGAIN.
I love this era of music. This was the kind of thing you saw on Broadway. Tin pan alley music. Simple, sweet, enjoyable.
I read a great book on all the tin pan alley people, and I forget who it was, but one of the riders would play the piano, and he used to say I can play any song as long as it's in C.lol.

Happy 110th birthday to Zeppo Marx!
The Marx Brothers were born for the show! They were multi-talented not only super brillant comedians
Chico's version is my fave - Thelma's face when he finishes singing is PRICELESS.
She really nails it!
As someone who has been obsessed with the Marx brothers ever since I was potty trained, I’m not ashamed to say... Chico looks hot in this scene.

Nobody drills the fourth wall of a screen like Groucho 🤣
Also loved Zeppo's singing;!!!!
I have this included in my funeral music. I think it’s wonderfully.

Apparently Thelma Todd almost drowned in that scene. It was rumored that she couldn't swim.
What wonderful obscurantist!
As a singer, Groucho made a great comedian.
And who were you?
chico is soo handsom in this movie :)
Thelma Todd was beautiful!
The break of the 4th wall is great as well. Many people think it is so funny about Deadpool but Groucho already did it in 1932 or something around that time.

You really can't appreciate the Marx Brothers unless you see one of their best films with a full theater audience.

Great set of scenes, & great quality. Thanks for sharing them!
I love the Marx Brothers.

ANOTHER CLASSIC SONG BY THE BERT KALMAR-HARRY RUBY TEAM
The lady is Thelma Todd.
The second biggest cover-up of a murder in Hollywood.
She was on the rise to rival Lombard and Lake. This fil - 'Horse Feathers' really made her.
Harpo is the only one who knows who he loves :-)
Harpo is my fave.
Had to hear this tonight after watchingColumbus on History Channel.
Although I look more like Karl and talk like Groucho, when I am not tooting my own horn like Harpo, I think I am a Chico Marxist.

I've always liked Groucho's guitar part here - and I think he switches guitars before he throws is in the lake (no need to destroy a good guitar!)
he does!
Agree. With Groucho...just inviting trouble for the one who says "I love you".

Great
You forgot Harpo's harp rendition!
A glaring Omission to say the least
She asks "are you making love to me?" I guess back in the day, they had bit of a different meaning for "making love".
Harpo whistles a great cover!
I sing Groucho's part to my dog.
I'll post this on Valentines Day
Great Job
If I ever become a record label artist, I'm sampling Marx Brothers every day! Whether it be Groucho's witty improvised lines, Chico's piano playing, even Harpo's harp. Hell, I'll use this to top it off

Melissa D “Chris the Vodka Lombardi”
These are great!!! Better than the menu in our local Greek diner (featuring "pooched salmon").
CC gets confused with Chico's fake accent XD thanks for suggesting I would have never thought of it.
He's funny when he turns on Groucho at the end of the routine where Groucho is dictating a letter to him.

I can't believe he just threw that vintage L-5 in the water.
Yeah, it was obviously a cheap flattop that got thrown in.
@@meekrob wasn't Groucho actually playing a different guitars in the one he threw in?
@@darknessanddistance4469 Yes. The one he was playing was a Gibson L5 (I think), an F-holed guitar. The one he threw into the lake had a round sound hole and was obviously a cheap "throw away" guitar.
Is that really Zeppo singing?
@Raven44142 That drives me mad every year on the radio when they're talking about Elvis' death; Groucho barely ever gets mentioned.
Best musical number ever - great pop song performed by each Bro in succession - any other Marx Bros movie that does this?
@got2tryagain That's because the first guitar was Groucho's own Gibson L5. Even in 1932, no one would throw a Gibson L5 into a lake.
Not if it had a stunt double, they wouldn't!
@zxc545454 Thanx for letting me know about Zeppo, I had no idea he lived that long. I know Groucho died in 1977, unfortunately it was the same week Elvise died so it didn't get any press
Notice the guitar switch when he's talking to the duck.
Even though that Gibson only cost about $150 back then, it was too nice to sink.
How can you tell he switched guitars? What's the difference between the Gibson and the standing guitar visually?
@@rufust.firefly2474 The Gibson has F-holes (think of the holes in a violin) compared to the round hole in that cheap guitar.
2:39 LMAO!
@MelonHeadFilmz - An L5 (a new one, not a vintage one which would be much more) costs $10,000.00 now. $150 was a lot of money in the early 1930s, but it wasn't the equivalent of 10 grand now.
Aromanticism wasn't quite in the public consciousness yet. 😅But this is still sweet.
"I love good music. "

Wonder where in LA this lake was....
Silver lake, I think.
I wonder whether Chico was the first jewgine* to appear on film.
