This is one of the older, if not the oldest, movie scenes included in my list of musical moments. It is from the Marx Brothers movie Monkey Business from 1931. I probably could have my pick of dozens of great musical moments from the many films the Marx Brothers made during the 1930's. I chose this one as I felt it showcases the uniqueness of Chico Marx's piano style; comedy and creativity, combined with true great musical skill. The only thing missing is Harpo playing his Harp, but perhaps I'll include one of those moments in a future post. I think this is brilliant and hope you enjoy!
Just watched this w/ T; he loves the Marx brothers! We both decided we want to learn to play like Chico!
