Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Actor and singer Walter Woolf King played the egotistic tenor Lassparri in "A Night at the Opera", but never appeared in any other films with the Marx Brothers.

Answer: False

Walter Woolf King also appeared in the non-singing role of Mr. Beecher, an ethically challenged junior executive for the railroad, in "Go West".
2. In "A Day at the Races", Dr. Hackenbush (Groucho) examines Stuffy (Harpo) and, upon noticing desiccation on Stuffy's neck, classifies him as what type?

Answer: The crummy moronic type

Adolph (Harpo) Marx may have been flaky, silent, and strange. He may also have appeared to be red-headed due to his ever-present wig. However, Dr. Hackenbush diagnosed Stuffy as the "crummy moronic type".
3. "Room Service" was remade, with only minor plot changes, as a Frank Sinatra musical in 1944.

Answer: True

Based on the same stage play, Sinatra's 1944 release "Step Lively" was a more musical remake of the 1938 Mark Brothers film "Room Service".
4. In "At the Circus", what is Groucho trying to get from Little Professor Atom that Chico keeps producing from his own pockets?

Answer: A cigar

A cigar butt was found where Jeff Chandler, the circus' owner, was robbed. Correctly believing that Little Professor Atom was involved in the robbery, Grouch tries repeatedly to nonchalantly talk the professor out of one of his cigars, which he plans to use as evidence.

However, Chico produces what seems to be an endless supply of cigars from his own pockets, inadvertently thwarting Groucho's plan.
5. In the restaurant scene that opens "A Night at the Opera", who is the only person who Groucho says doesn't remind him of Mrs. Claypool (Margaret Dumont)?

Answer: Mrs. Claypool

Oddly enough, Groucho, as Otis P. Driftwood, tells Mrs. Claypool that everyone reminds him of her except her.
6. In "A Day at the Races", what is the name of the racehorse that Gil Stewart (Allan Jones) purchased to make money for the sanitarium?

Answer: High Hat

Gil purchased High Hat from Morgan. In the end, High Hat proves to be Morgan's downfall, but that is not the horse's name. Skiball is Morgan's racehorse.
7. What well-known television actress played Christine Marlowe in "Room Service"?

Answer: Lucille Ball

A very young looking Lucille Ball played Christine Marlowe. In one of the "California" episodes of "I Love Lucy", she recreated the hilarious mirror scene from "Duck Soup" with Harpo, except she, too, was dressed as Harpo.
8. In "At the Circus", which character leaves lawyer J. Cheever Loophole (Groucho) hanging from the ceiling?

Answer: Peerless Pauline

Peerless Pauline (Eve Arden) gets Loophole to walk on the ceiling as she does in her act, then leaves him there to thwart his plan to search her tent for the missing money. Lydia is a character in this film only in the sense that Groucho sings a rousing rendition of "Lydia the Tattooed Lady".
9. In "A Day at the Races", where have the brothers hidden Flo Marlowe (Esther Muir) when Whitmore (Leonard Ceeley) brings Mrs. Upjohn (Margaret Dumont) into Dr. Hackenbush's (Groucho) room?

Answer: Inside the loveseat

Although wallpaper is prominently involved, Flo is hidden inside the loveseat that Dr. Hackenbush is sitting on.
10. In "A Night at the Opera", how do Groucho and Chico remove disputed clauses from the contract they are negotiating?

Answer: They tear that part of the paper off

For some reason, after tearing off the disputed clauses, Chico's contract is shorter than Groucho's, leading Groucho to suspect that Chico had been "on a tear" the previous night. In the end, the only clause that remains is a nullification if either party is judged to be mentally incompetent. Groucho explains that this is a standard sanity clause, and Chico replies, "You can't fool me.

There ain't no Sanity Claus."
