    This classic sketch of Capt. Spaulding on The Hollywood Palace on March 3,1965. marks the final appearance of Margret Dumont, who co-starred in many of The Marx Bros. comedy classics of the 30’s & 40’s. Groucho Marx lived another 12 years until 1977. Great classic moment that will live with us forever.

    i saw an interview with groucho and he said he felt bad for Margret Dumount. When he arrived to do the show she was at the stage door with a bouquet of flowers in her arms (he thought that she had bought them and sent them to herself). She thought she was a big star at the time, even though she had been forgotten about. Its so sad to think the life that she had loved, had left her.

    Margaret was the quintessential Victorian lady. her nobility was the perfect counter to groucho’s vaudevillian background. show me a modern duo that can match their charisma.

    It’s great Groucho and Margaret got together this last time. I’ve never seen this. Magaret looks spry here, how did she die?

    I wonder if the brunette dancer with the glasses could be Yvonne Craig? Wasn’t she a dancer before she joined the cast of “Batman”?

    When Dick Cavett interviewed Groucho in the early 70’s, Groucho stated that Margret was somewhat oblivious to his jokes and that’s what made her a great straight to his “off the cuff” quips. They were great together.

    Sad that Miss Dumont passed away only a few days later, but she went out doing what she loved to the end, and obviously was having a wonderful time working with Groucho again! This is such a special video. Thank you so much for posting!!

    Amazing…to think she was dead just four days later…(on March 6th, at age 82, btw…)

    That’s pretty amazing….. Groucho and Miss Dumont are just GREAT in this, in spite of their ages they were sharp as tacks – - and funny!!

    Mag is totally the bomb, far and away the best character actress in movie history.

    I saw this when I was a kid, when I didn’t know that much about Groucho, and have always wanted to to see it again. Thanks for the posting!

    When Groucho introduced Lydia someone or other in the last clip, I was hoping he’d launch into Lydia the Tattooed Lady… but this was classic.

    35 years after the movie version of Animal Crackers, and they still could do the lines without missing a beat. Maggie really was Mrs. Rittenhouse to the very end.

    Thanx for posting. I had heard of this broadcast but never saw it until now. Great TV.

    1965 — you have to admire Margaret Dumont’s courage to be Groucho Marx’s straight man again one last time. They still have that comic chemistry, even if he was walking all over HER lines.

    She died two days after this was taped.
