I'm impressed that you guys could pull that off. It's such a wonderful piece of theatre.

Didn't Jerry Lewis do something similar in one of the early Martin & Lewis films? Though nowhere in the same league as the Marx Brothers, I did like them when I was a kid.

The Marx Brothers were truly wonderful.; 1/19/2008 12:18 PM

I think the last thing that came close was Monty Python. Intellectual and surreal, though not as warm, perhaps, as the Marx Brothers. There was no Harpo in Monty Python.

Not sure anything these days can even sniff at the edges.; 1/19/2008 12:21 PM

Is that the one where he's ironing and winds up knocking himself out? If so, that's one of the latter-day great routines! Post it!; 1/19/2008 7:11 PM
crystal said...: That's the one. Maybe I'll look for it tomorrow :-); 1/19/2008 9:57 PM
