I have been an enormous Marx Brothers fan since that 70s revival. This is wonderful news. Their comedy was years ahead of it’s time.

Margaret Dumont's final screen appearance was with Groucho on the variety show "The Hollywood Palace." They reenacted a scene from "Animal Crackers." Margaret Dumont passed away just a few days after this appearance.
