Harpo was awesome very talented. I love him most of all. The Marx brothers were hilarious but when they performed solo Harpo was the best of the 3. There will never be another Marx brothers in our lifetime.
Thanx so so so very much, Hotun, for sharing this little gem! I'm a long, long time Harpo fan, and I love this clip! RIP, Mr Marx. Thanx for the magic, music, and memories. Harpo forever!
Pretty sure it said in his biography that he rigged his clarinet with a hidden lever, so he could play it normally ... and then by pressing the switch, bubbles would come out. He probably attached the bubble maker inside the end of the clarinet - with the lever directing the flow of air for each purpose - to make music or make bubbles.
He was priceless :) Be it performing comedy or performing his Harp for us. :) I think we were his practice audience... he is playing for the Angels now :) Thank you Harpo for everything you shared with us.
Thank you for this clip!!! I've seen quite a few movies and stage appearances, but this I have not seen until today and it will become one of my favourites!
Harpo was 71 here and he still had it. Note that when he starts blowing the bubbles, the breeze in the studio is blowing the wrong way, so he walks behind Berle to the other side. Originally done on color videotape. Did it survive? This is a videotape, but it is in black and white.
I grew up watching Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello and the 3 Stooges, and I love all of them. However, I think the Marx Brothers beat all of those guys. : )
I don't know if "the Marx Brothers beat all those guys", but I agree 100+% about the rest. All I need to hear is "Who's on First", fill in the rest and I can have a great laugh. It's even better when someone else can reply to your roster for 1st, 2nd and 3rd bases with "Who's on First?"
Speaking seriously, of course, it is impossible to compare them all as they each have their unique strengths and talents. Having said that, The Freres Marx were awesome on a level all their own, and my personal favorites.
Important differences with the Marx Brothers - They really were brothers They worked on stage together for years polishing their act before going into the movies Their mother had them take music lessons with Harpo and Chico becoming quite accomplished
Milton Berle isn't exactly a favorite of mine, he sometimes looked physically abusive and even unrespectful but have to admit that otherwise he was a fine comedian and this time seemed thrilled to have the 1-derful and uniquely talented Harpo Marx as his guest, the act was so funny !!! 😂
So what other instruments could he play? Jeeminy cricket!! Very mellow sound, too. Well, till the end when it all goes nuts :) 🪈🎹🎭🌷🌱 didn’t like Milton Berle and here is one example of why Harpo is the guest star, but guess who hogs the stage :P something Jack Benny, Dinah Shore, or Flip Wilson, etc. would never do!! 😾😮

Harpo forever!
Harpo never ceases to amaze me with his enormous talent!
I agree. He was funny but he was also a very talented musician and a lovely family man. May he rest in eternal peace
Harpo could outshine all the legendary comedians and steal the show. He was a genius
Harpo and Chico were incredbly talented
Like Lucille Ball, there will never be another Harpo Marx! He was and will always be legendary!
Unbeschreiblich....so genial ....die Mimik....was für ein Virtuose .....ich mach ein date mit den Brothers im Universum 👌😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🌈💚
I love the Marx brothers Harpo was my favorite he was so funny so talented. Wonderful God rest their souls🙏🏻

Brings back memories. My Dad,s favourite comedy acts, the Marx Brothers.
I used to think that Harpo was annoying but it turns out that he’s not annoying he’s cute and funny
great stuff! I,m crying!
He was priceless :) Be it performing comedy or performing his Harp for us. :) I think we were his practice audience... he is playing for the Angels now :) Thank you Harpo for everything you shared with us.
Before there was Gallagher, LONG before there was Carrot Top or the Amazing Jonathan, there was Harpo. The true father of the prop comics
Actually the Marx Brothers' uncle was Al Shean of Shean and Gallagher
Exactly. A great description. Thanks!!!
Such talent
Thank you for this clip!!! I've seen quite a few movies and stage appearances, but this I have not seen until today and it will become one of my favourites!
UNCLE MILTIE AND HARPO!!!! DAMN I MISSED OUT!
PRICELESS!!!!!!
וואו איזה יופי
Magnífica actuación !
It's Berle's fault for having the band start playing loud! Don't blame Harpo!
Harpo was 71 here and he still had it.
Note that when he starts blowing the bubbles, the breeze in the studio is blowing the wrong way, so he walks behind Berle to the other side.
Originally done on color videotape. Did it survive? This is a videotape, but it is in black and white.
Was he really? It’s impossible to look 71 in that wig
@@kevinericsnell4092 its like he looks younger in costume! lol
Yah for Harpo! He plays a clarinet in Coconuts and Monkey Business but not very well. He's been practicing and gotten better by 1959.

I agree all but Laurel and Hardy i rank them same as Marx Brothers they were amazing to watch.
Important differences with the Marx Brothers -
They really were brothers
They worked on stage together for years polishing their act before going into the movies
Their mother had them take music lessons with Harpo and Chico becoming quite accomplished
If you don't want to be upstaged then don't bring Harpo onstage!
LMAOOO harpo was the best!!
He was a flower child before there were flower children. That was a later generation.
Billie May composed the Tweety Pie song (Looney Tunes)
brilliant
How did this work? Was it a clarinet that could be played and blow bubbles, too? Or is it only a bubble maker, and Harpo's syncing to another player?
I hope there's a Heaven, and that Harpo is there enjoying entertaining and joking his way through eternity! :)
génial.......just the.best ......and its 2018 soooo funny

Never heard this version at Upton park.
😊😘😘😄😄
Love the Marx brothers
ita a tiger rag in the end
lmaooooo
How did Don Ho get on the stage? Was he even performing back then?
COYI
HAHAHH HARPOS A HAMMER COYI
Harpo is a Honurary West Ham Fan!
Geniales
Must be great to be talented..
I am as talented as anybody I just choose not to display it to the world
Shame on you 4 thumbs down!
Boy...Milton Berle sure was a bit much. He seems to hate all the attention Harpo gets. Despite that, Harpo neatly commands the scene.
🤗🤣
H o w about RUDILLATA
So what other instruments could he play? Jeeminy cricket!! Very mellow sound, too. Well, till the end when it all goes nuts :) 🪈🎹🎭🌷🌱

Turn off the bubble machine!
harpo es muy pero muy fomeeeeee.......
Harpo with the patented Trump trumpet.
All the Marx brothers could play musical instruments. Groucho could play the guitar. like Chico plays the piano.
uncle milty was a no talent bum
Shame on you 4 thumbs down!
