Useful quotation: "Le premier film des Marx Brothers que nous ayons vu ici: Animal Crackers, m'est apparu, et il a été regardé par tout le monde comme une chose extraordinaire, comme la libération par le moyen de l'écran d'une magie particulière que les rapports coutumiers des mots et des images ne révèlent d'habitude pas, et s'il est un état caractérisé, un degré poétique distinct de l'esprit qui se puisse appeler surréalisme, Animal Crackers y participait entièrement. Dire en quoi cette sorte de magie consiste est difficile, c'est en tout cas quelque chose qui n'est pas spécifiquement cinématographique peut-être, mais qui n'appartient pas non plus au théâtre et dont seuls certains poèmes surréalistes réussis, s'il en était, pourraient donner une idée. La qualité poétique d'un film comme Animal Crackers pourrait répondre à la définition de l'humour, si ce mot n'avait depuis longtemps perdu son sens de libération intégrale, de déchirement de toute réalité dans l'esprit. Pour comprendre l'originalité puissante, totale, définitive, absolue (je n'exagère pas, j'essaie simplement de définir, et tant pis si l'enthousiasme m'entraîne) d'un film comme Animal Crackers, et par moments (en tout cas dans toute la partie de la fin) comme Monkey Business, il faudrait ajouter à l'humour la notion d'une quelque chose d'inquiétant et de tragique, d'une fatalité (ni heureuse ni malheureuse, mais pénible à formuler) qui se glisserait derrière lui comme la révélation d'une maladie atroce sur un profil d'une absolue beauté" (Antonin Artaud, Le théâtre et son double, Deux notes).

sometimes professors teach you the wrong way or you get yourself mystified; playing the piano is tricky, as the case in many arts, but it's actually not supposed to be hard, if you find the way to do it (nothing can be obtained forcefully); childrem usually learn things quite naturally if they are really musical, and if a professor is able to lead and support them;

@@AlessandroZir very true Alessandro, but no professor would ever teach the kind of gymnastics that Chico does with his hands. You can only imagine what he would say to his student who was doing that. To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure he took lessons. They were dirt poor. It's hard to believe they would have afforded it. I guess he must have somewhere. Still, just so much fun to watch. I remember as a kid taking piano lessons thinking to myself I wonder if I could do that and every time I tried it just never worked.

Groucho said he could tell she had sent them to herself..I think she died almost penniless if memory serves...very bittersweet...find the books if you can, most may be out of print, but, most libraries can put in a call to other libraries for copies...I laughed and laughed at the stories he told.

I think it is just Groucho being mean. The stuff about she bought her own bouquet is bogus. It was her last appearance with Groucho on the Hollywood Palace in the 1960s. She died not long after. This stuff she don't understand any of the jokes is malarkey. You can see her sometimes suppressing a laugh. He said she asked him to explain the joke about fighting for a woman's honor. That hardly means she didn't understand sny of them as Groucho claimed.

Groucho loved Maggie Dumont. When she auditioned he didn't tell her that they had a comedy act, and they never rehearsed together. So when Maggie came on stage in the middle of some fandango her deadpan expressions and roll of the eyes was natural; it took her a while to realize who these guys were. The four rarely separated.

When Groucho was still alive in the early 70s, I had a college roommate who actually got me even more into Minnie's Boys. He went to southern CA and went by Groucho's house to get a "Lobby Card" from Duck Soup autographed. Someone answered the door and told Dale that Groucho was entertaining guests in the back yard. Dale figured he would likely lose the lobby card but he gave the guy the card and wrote Groucho a note telling him what a huge fan he was and gave him his address. Sometime later he did in fact receive a typed response and his lobby card back. The letter started out, "you call yourself a huge fan.................. Groucho went on to explain that Dale couldn't have been a real fan or he would have crashed the party, saved Groucho and gotten a signed lobby card. He went on to say that Dale didn't deserve the lobby card autographed and signed his name to that letter.

The moment at 4:55 when Harpo goes in to apoplexy when Chico starts the monotonous refrain again is just WAY WAY TOO FUNNY, in an overall scene truly inspired and hilarious - made all the better by both Chico's and Harpo's playing.

One of the many classic Marx brothers lines, (and one that fabulously shows Groucho's contention that Chico was one of the greatest straight men when he had to be): "I can't think of the finish." "That's strange, and I can't think of anything else...". Surely a line written for them by the legendary George S. Kauffman himself!

I saw a tribute/documentary to Groucho, and it was said that Kaufman said he didn't like writing for the Marx Brothers bc Groucho would rewrite it, and it would be better. Whoever wrote what, thank you! You've given me many many years of music, magic and memories. Thank you, gentlemen!
