Two years earlier (1972), a friend and saw his last one man show at Carnegie Hall. He was incredible. He aged so much in those two years. After Chico’s funeral, a reporter asked Groucho, “How do you feel about your brother’s death?” to which he snapped, “Not as bad as he does.” I sure miss them and grateful for clips like this.

Groucho told of the time the Archbishop said to him, "I want to thank you for all the joy you put in the world." Grouch replied: "And I want to thank you for all the joy you've taken out of it." This was in his Carnegie Hall concert album. Unfortunately, I loaned it to a co-worker and never got it back.

@@rackinfrackin i have a guess, Louis B. Mayer. one of the founders of MGM Studios had it out for Groucho specifically. After His death in 1957, Mayer wouldn't have much influence. But by that point Groucho was more well known for "You Bet Your Life". The late 60's thru the 70's saw a huge resurgence of interest in his films. By the time the Academy gave him the award, it was likely because they knew they were running out of time. Since he was 83 & a well known cigar smoker from the age of sixteen.. they probably thought if they didn't do it then they wouldn't get another chance.. after all it took them until 2 years prior to this to give Chaplin one.

Duck Soup is a movie that made me love The Marx Brothers. I wish they were all there as well to be honored with Groucho.

Groucho was the finest ad lib comic that ever lived! It is so sad that his death was three days after Elvis Presley, so he was an afterthought in the 1977 media. It's sad that "The King of Rock and Roll" was a bigger news than the true "King Of Comedy" to the point that it wound up being a short side note that Elvis died. Fuck Elvis!!! He didn't write ANY of the songs that he sang, and made AWFUL movies. Groucho was the real deal! He said what he felt, and there hasn't been a comedian that was as talented as him since! RIP Groucho.

I also remember when Groucho died and I expected there would be more about him but they were still going on about that sick drug addict Elvis. I loved all the Marx brothers and Groucho showed class by mentioning Margaret Dumont. Hard to believe how old they would all be now. Groucho would be 130.

A lot of people, including Dick Cavett, wondered the same thing at the time: Patiently waiting for larger media tributes that never came because of the focus on Elvis. I think Cavett eventually put together a one-hour special tribute by himself.

The first 5 proper Marx Brothers movies were remastered and released on blu-ray. Beautiful work. We can hope the rest may one day see the HD light.

Without doubt, one of the greats in cinematic comedy. Duck Soup is my all time favourite.
