Thanks to Tom at Motion Picture Gems for posting a description of the 1936 cartoon, "Mickey's Polo Team." Harpo makes his first appearance at 1:46.

Our Mission Statement
The Marx Brothers blog is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the greatest comedy team of the twentieth century.
We will endeavor through seemingly random postings to honor Marx family values of absurdity, chaos, and irreverence.
This blog is an offshoot of the author's original blog, Lugubrious Drollery. One of the most popular posts there has been "Lydia the Tattooed Lady Revealed," which serves as the inaugural post in the current blog.

ReplyDeleteIn which movie did the real Harpo actually ride an ostrich?

Alan,
ReplyDeleteGood call. I had forgotten about Harpo riding an ostrich in "At the Circus."
Didn't Harpo ride an ostrich in "At The Circus". The Disney cartoon was made in 1936, while "At the Circus" was made in 1939. So, did they take ideas from each other?
ReplyDeleteIMO, Harpo did to Donald exactly what he should have done to Groucho in most movies. I'd pay a pretty penny just to see that!
