If Groucho was the witty Marx Brother, Harpo was without a doubt the wild one. His persona of the silent lunatic who runs around wreaking havoc is one of the most instantly recognizable characters in movie history. But just who was the man behind the character? The answer to that is much different than people realize.

The more applause the better.
Yuppers....
How could you Not like Harpo?
Whatever, the one with the Italian accent that played piano.
Harpo = judge engoron (I’d like that judge to keep his mouth shut too)
My favorite Marx brother. He was similar to an idiot savant, normally pure id crazy, then put him on the harp and he’s transformed, solemn, sublime and favored by the gods.

My recollection is that Harpo Marx's real name was "Adolf", and so you can see why that wouldn't go over very well in the 1930s and 1940s.

Have not read that one. I have read “My Life with Groucho” by his son, Arthur Marx. Another very worthwhile read.
I went through most of it once, then lost it before I could get to the ending.
It’s still available on Amazon, though I got my own copy at a church sale.
I mostly get my books second hand, too.
