Favorite MARX Brother?

[Hoyt Clagwell]

I voted a three-way tie Groucho-Harpo-Chico.

No matter how talented they were seperately, they did their best work together as a team, playing off each other in various combinations.

Zeppo was supposed to be the funniest one in real life.

[Brownian Motion]

It's Harpo for me--the only clown that makes me laugh. Harpo kicking his feet in the lemonade. Harpo in the Punch & Judy show. Harpo stamping the custom inspector's head and then throwing his papers up in the air.

anyone have recordings of harpo's big band?

Harpo led a big band? I've been looking for Chico's, which I could've sworn I saw on a Laserlight CD years ago--but I'd like to hear Harpo's as well.

I played Don Byron's "Abie the Fishman" & yakked about the Marxes on-air today.

Ghost, I remember seeing that cd all the time as well....Funny, doing a search, I could have sworn Scatman Crothers was on it as well...turned out to be Dezi Arnaz!

A little more on it halfway down the list...

Re: Harpo albums. There’s this album, and at that price, that looks like a steal!
