This is my favorite three seconds. It captures Groucho Marx's irreverence towards all things.

Always reminds me of a story where Groucho was on, "I've Got a Secret," (I think). You asked yes or no questions to get to the secret of the person you were interrogating. The person being grilled was Chico except he was dressed as Harpo, and he completely fooled Groucho.

To many fans Harpo was the most likeable of the brothers. Groucho was witty, Chico was shifty, but Harpo was basically loveable. In real life they were not unlike their screen personas. When Harpo died in 1964 there was genuine sorrow throughout the movie industry. Unlike his girl-chasing character on-screen, he was a devoted family man who wed politician/activist Susan Fleming in 1936 and remained married to her until his death. She passed away in 2002. Harpo was universally considered to be the sweetest, kindest man one could hope to meet, a sentiment shared not only by his myriad fans, but also by his peers and by the hierarchy of the movie industry. Legend has it that his ashes were sprinkled into a sand trap at the seventh hole of the Rancho Mirage Golf Course in California. In public he usually went unrecognized. Without his trademark red wig he was almost completely bald. In fact, without his make-up and wig he looked remarkably like his brother Chico. As a joke Chico once went on the TV game show, I’ve Got a Secret, dressed in Harpo’s wig and costume, and fooled everyone, including his other brother Groucho. Harpo was not really a mute, by the way, but chose to portray one on screen after a theatre critic described his stage performance as ‘brilliant until he spoke’.


Can't find the video, yet.

He talks about hanging out at the Algonquin Round Table, marveling at all the wits and wags. He claims he didn't say much, but I bet he was every bit as amusing as the rest of them.

When it breaks into the 1977 version of Wreckles Eric’s “Whole Wide World” it just makes me smile.
