Harpo Marx's Harp Music - A Night in Casablanca

submitted by eatbolt

1 decade 6 years 5 months 2 weeks ago

Harpo Marx, one of the towering greats of Vaudeville.

"He was well known by his trademarks: he played the harp; he never talked during performances, although he often blew a horn or whistled to communicate with people; and he frequently used props - one of his most commonly used props in films was a walking stick with a built-in bulb horn.

His non-speaking in films was occasionally referenced by the other Marx Brothers, who were careful to imply that his character's not speaking was a choice rather than a disability." -Wikipedia

Hah, I was watching "Go West" just about an hour ago. Has an equally great harp scene as well.

I have a special place in my heart for Harpo, as you can see by my user name.
He has been my hero for the last 40 years. "Thanks Dad for getting me to watch all the old Marx Brother's movies with you". If you really want to find out how special he was, read his biography, "Harpo Speaks".
