Marx Brothers Chico et Harpo duo comique au piano

Humormonger Says:

Jun 18, 2011 - HOWEVER.. He's got to be VERY well schooled in music in order to play (or fake it), in such perfect time. I'm not convinced either way. (Now I'll have to watch it over and over again to try and figure out what's going on!)

Jun 19, 2011 - A better example would be at the 1:00 minute mark after Chico slaps Harpos hand, Chico begins playing while Harpo hands aren't on the piano but the left hands part can still be heard. Harpo does obviously have a musical background from the harp, but he originally wanted to be schooled in the piano. I'm sure he's taught himself a few things in that regard, but I'm convinced he's mimicking this part. BTW, I play the piano too and am a Huge Marx Brothers fan.

Oct 10, 2011 - I wouldn't call anything about this preternatural. It comes from an era where things like musical knowledge/ability and culture were encouraged instead of being cut from school due to lack of intelligence (or funding I suppose) on society's fault. This is amazing and I truly wish movies were still like this instead of about "actors" that can't really do anything besides act in 1 genre.

Nov 13, 2011 - While you're right in saying that musical talent was more likely to be encouraged in the era in which the Marxes grew up, you're wrong in saying that they learned anything about it in school. Only one of the five Marx brothers finished school. Harpo never graduated 2nd grade. Chico had one or two years of piano lessons at home. Other than that, both Chico and Harpo were entirely self taught.

Feb 3, 2012 - Don't know how many times I've seen this bit. No superlatives would be enough to define these geniuses, so I'll keep enjoying them over and over again. And again.

Apr 3, 2012 - Culte!

MrAlfredButts Says:

May 10, 2012 - Once you look at it a few times it does seem Harpo is not playing what is being heard, but he's playing something. We should hear it. And if it's dubbed, how on earth is Chico doing his intricate part so perfectly in sync? It does not seem humanly possible.
