If Harpo Marx breaks his silence a lot of people are going to be really shaken up.

His autobiography, Harpo Speaks!, is well worth reading.

I liked Groucho... But Marco? Not so much, too much jibber jabber all the time... But I definitely did NOT like Harpo’s shtick. Good harpist, but his shtick was stupid with the same stupid act every single movie.

Harpo always got a look on his face like he was a crazed axe murderer or something... I really did not like Harpo.

If memory serves me correct, he stuttered. That stuttering prevented him from making jokes, so they made him the group mime and let him act his comedic routines instead.

It was something like that.

I don’t find the story credible when he doesn’t know how they pronounced “Chico.” It’s chick-oh, not cheek-oh.

Best movie was when they were Joe Stalin’s henchmen...

According to Groucho, it was Chico that was the wild one. As I recall, Groucho was quoted as saying it was Chico who singlehandedly brought gonorrhea to Vaudeville.

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.
