Harpo 'plays' the piano and everyone is in hysterics. He then switches to harp and you can literally hear a pin drop.

As a child I suffered with asthma and not being able to breathe without a struggle was a battle back in the 60's and 70's. Thank the maker of Ventolin and all the Asthma drugs. However, to watch a Marxs Brother Film help me to forget about the pain when it was on TV. My was always Harpo and now I'm in my 60's, I have tears in my eyes watch this marvellous musician/comedian. I wish they Rest In Peace. Thank You.

Look at what he accomplishes in three minutes and 22 seconds. He has brought his audience to the point of laughing while choking. But just as he is at the peak of this laughter, he begins to play the harp. And with very little exception, he does this completely seriously. The audience is totally mesmerized by the beauty of his playing. In three minutes and 22 seconds, Harpo has given you every single emotion from the laughter to tears. And that is exactly what comedy is. This scene always makes me cry.

Talent beyond compare. Sending children from hysterical hieghts to mezmerizing silence with brilliance! The clown king.

Music and talent in the spotlight nowadays isn't, and will never be, the same as from the golden era. There was a certain kind of mesmerizing magic that has died over the years, but we are fortunate to remember from these recordings. Those with finely attuned musical ears will attest to this. RIP Harpo, as a 27 year old in 2020, you stunned me with this performance as a young child and continue to this day. Listening to this recording is like being held by a soothing mother and gently petted on the head as you go to sleep. Bravo bravo bellissimo 👏

Sometimes you get lucky and have one transcendent talent in a family. If you get really lucky, you have two. When you have three transcendent talents in the same family, that is magic. Bless you, Groucho, Harpo & Chico Marx🙏

Harpo loved children and even though he and his wife were not able to conceive they adopted 4 children and gave them a warm, loving home. The rapport he shows with the children in this scene is genuine and I’m sure that the children could feel it. God bless him always.

What's amazing is that Victor Borge was supposed to be a piano-playing clown--Harpo is much better. The part where he pretends to slam the piano key cover on his fingers is exquisite.
