The State Room Scene from 'A Night at the Opera' sums up Groucho perfectly.
I was more upset when he passed away than I was when Elvis did a day or so previously.

I wonder if he sang "Hello, I must be going" on his deathbed?

As you know bayman, I'm a huge fan of the Marx Bros. but I still haven't gotten around to seeing Duck Soup :oops:

(HOOOOOONK) ... and one duck egg.

Absolute classic cinematic GOLD.

The only funnier scene is the bit in Monkey Business where they all try to get off the boat by pretending to be Maurice Chevalier :lol:

Official reason that clip was taken off Youtube was because of copyright.
Unofficial reason was because of the reason, you said bayman.
Mind you, Cosby wasn't the first or last person that was made to look stupid by Groucho .

if you can get hold of ''the unknown marx bros'' doco it is on that video/dvd groucho to bill (both were smoking cigars) when asked about the cigar groucho said (paraphrasing to a degree) ''cigars are a handy thing for a comedian to have..presuming you are a comedian''
