    Harpo Marx was 72 at the time, and died about three years after this episode was made. By his own choice, he kept busy right up until the end of his life. Groucho's son Arthur said that Harpo's funeral was the only time he'd ever seen his father cry.

      When he retired, he was miserable; one of his friends met him when he was moping, and he explained that since he had put all his harps and props and such into storage, his life wasn't the same.
      The friend said, "Harp, you retired from the life most people want to retire to!"
      Harpo went back to work and never looked back.

    This is a priceless classic. Thanks for posting. Harpo Speaks has always been my favorite book. I have a 1st ed. in mint & paperbacks. Sadly, Harpo would be dead in 2 years. He lived a good life & was probably the happiest man who ever lived. His lived a fascinating life & was a most welcomed guest of the rich & famous; e.g., Bernard Shaw, Pres. Truman, Oscar Levant, Alexander Woollcott. He also smuggled secret papers out of the USSR & knew gangsters of the 1930s. A wonderful life!

    This show is a treasure because Harpo was in it. I had heard that for the last year or two of his life Harpo was in almost constant pain from angina. Here he was acting as if he were in the pink of health. Harpo would die in September 1964 while undergoing the then relatively new Coronary Bypass surgery to relieve him of his crushing chest pains. He was 75 years old.

They will be forever immortalised in a way that previous generations never could, by people who weren’t even born at that time.

I wrote to Mrs. Marx in 1983 and told her how much I adored him, and what I thought he meant to the world. I was floored at the beautiful response she sent me. She told me that he stood for the belief that as long as there is love and laughter in the world, sanity will hold. He stood for all that and more.
    I loved Laurel and Hardy, too. My favorite is "Way Out West". Do you have one?

I was surprised by this, so I said, "You haven't?" And he replied, "No. Why would I?" I managed to say, "Because they're funny?" but it was clear that my words were falling on deaf ears. And I'm sure it's worse now -- I don't think there are any fart jokes in Marx Brothers movies.
