Groucho Marx on his films and opposing war at Cannes circa 1972 + Alfred Hitchcock
It's a bevy of a track we've got here folks with the great Groucho Marx commenting on how the later generations appreciate his anti-establishment work throughout his career and openly criticizing the Vietnam war at a press conference in France.
The Groucho portion runs approx 90 seconds with a nice capper of the wonderful Alfred Hitchcock on a deck of a ship speaking french (so I can't tell you what the hell he's saying lol).

Groucho Marx and Jackie Gleason in Skidoo: Watch Online and download in MP4
Click here to download in MP4
(1968) - 94 min
Google Video: An "acid comedy" with Jackie Gleason as an ex-mobster who hates hippies, Carol Channing stripping down to her underwear, Groucho Marx in his final film role as "God", a score from Harry Nilsson, an acid-tripping prison where the guards see naked football players and dancing garbage cans, and cameos from Frankie Avalon, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Mickey Rooney, Frank Gorshin, George Raft, and Slim Pickens...to name a few. Does this sound like an Otto Preminger film to you? Well, there's a reason why the master of Oscar-winning dramas (and off-screen Germanic fits) never really made comedies, and this completely unfunny mess is a good example of why. On the other hand, if you think you'll get a kick (as many do) out of seeing old Hollywood try to relate to the kids of 1968, and fail miserably, here's your shot. To truly see this film, you have to catch it on screen in glorious widescreen because Preminger plays with the frame in exciting ways (and the color and design look great). It pops up rarely in revival screenings, sometimes at MoMA and most recently in an anniversary show at the American Cinematheque in L.A. So until the studio decides to pull out a DVD release (c'mon, if Myra Breckinridge can make it to DVD, so can Skidoo), you'll have to find it however you can. But even in a fuzzy, maltreated video version it is worth the trip. Have heard that there is a Widescreen version lurking out there, made from a copy of the vault print, but haven't been able to get a hold of one... And now for the trivia: Otto Preminger originally wanted Bob Dylan to score the movie. He invited Dylan and his wife to a rough cut screening at his Hollywood mansion. After the screening, Dylan surprised everybody from his entourage, who thought the film was a disaster, by requesting a second screening but at one condition: he wanted to be left alone with his wife to watch it. Preminger happily obliged, convinced that Dylan would accept the job. However, Dylan showed no further interest in the movie. He acknowledged later that he and his wife weren't interested at all by Skidoo but that they had requested this second screening to freely explore Preminger's mansion, write down what they liked and take inspiration for their own house.

Runs Approx 68 minutes
and click here to check out the great "Marx Bros. Scrapbook":
It's OOP but there's a number of copies for as little as 22 cents
I have this book and completely love it. Written by Richard J. Anobile and Groucho Marx we get a bevy of behind the scenes photos of the Marx Brothers along side recollections by Groucho. It's not a light hearted book - more filled with Groucho's biting humour. After the introduction the first words we see written by Groucho is for the cast photo for their Broadway play "The Coconuts" where Groucho explains the empty seat by saying his brother Chico was "too busy fucking or playing pool" to show up.
