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.

@@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.

This was in his Carnegie Hall concert album. Unfortunately, I loaned it to a co-worker and never got it back.

Groucho was a brilliant comic star. There won’t be another like him. He and his brothers created something that went beyond everything done before or since. They brought so much joy and laughter to the world. They made us love them... And I love them to this very day. All you have to do is look at them and you find yourself smiling. That’s love.. We should all surely be grateful that their act has been preserved there on film for all time.

I couldn't agree more! They not only came along at the right time, but did such brilliant things with the time they were given! Groucho especially was one of the singular humorists of comedy's history. One of my favorite lines of his is this: "I'm not a fan of reality, but it's still the only place where you can get a decent meal." RIP Groucho and all the brothers. You have earned a very high place in people's hearts.

Margaret Dumont said to Groucho "my dear husband is dead.He died in my arms" to which Groucho replied "oh so it was murder".My favorite line from the many brilliant ones from this guy and his brothers.

"You're a brave man. Go and break through the lines. And remember, while you're out there risking your life and limb through shot and shell, we'll be in be in here thinking what a sucker you are." (Duck Soup) "Don't point that beard at me! It might go off!" (A Day at the Races) "Well, here we are flying in the air. What a stupid remark that is." (A Night in Casablanca) "They sent for me and the case was solved immediately: I confessed." (Love Happy) What more needs to be said???

Great man. I love the story about his son borrowing the car only if he arrived home by - I think - 10pm. His son was a couple of hrs late and turned off the motor and coasted down the driveway. He crept out of the car and quietly closed the door. As he approached the house Groucho popped his head out the window and said, in that typical Groucho way, "I heard that..." :-) Fondly remembered.
