Having a fair movie archive and being a Marx Brothers fan, lately I decided to fill in that empty niche. In doing so I discovered perhaps the rarest of rare (until the You Tubers got their grubby little hands on it) Marx Brothers clips, 15 seconds of an Animal Crackers rehearsal, a subtractive method color film test. Actually color photography goes back to the turn of the 20th Century and the quality is surprisingly excellent. Sorry if this clip is fuzzy, it was only a test of one of the competing processes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xJn49Fk8Fc Check out Harpo in a bathrobe without makeup.
