Harpo Marx
US , 1888-1964

Arthur "Harpo" Marx was an American comedian and harpist, and the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers.

Remembered for his delicate vaudeville, clown and pantomime in the Marx Brothers-movies.
The eternal nuisance, driving people mad with his honk-honk horn, never speaking.
Calm father in real life, cherishing his adopted children and his harps.
Loved to play them as self-educated harpist.

Un regard par la fenêtre sur Le Corniaud (1965), réalisé par Gérard Oury.

Louis de Funès et Bourvil forment un duo inoubliable dans cette comédie culte mêlant quiproquos, poursuites et satire sociale. Entre la France et l’Italie, le film enchaîne les scènes mythiques et incarne à merveille l’âge d’or du cinéma populaire français. Un classique intemporel à revoir sans modération.
