I’ve started watching some Marx Brothers pictures and started with the Pre-Code “The Cocoanuts” from 1929 and I’m actually a little scandalized by the lady bellhops “pants”!

Oh hi, Kay Francis! #TheCocoanuts #TCMParty
I quote from this movie more than any other, I think. Can't believe it's 96 years old. #TCMParty #TheCocoanuts
My favorite part of #TheCocoanuts is how all the paper maps are soggy and soaked on purpose because they made too much noise when they weren't. #TCMParty
Watched #TheCocoanuts 🎬
Well, it happened. @comicsinthega.bsky.social 's recurring mention of them made me see my first Marx Brothers movie. Quite a few surprises and funny. No wonder it became huge hit. #filmsky

Kay, I love you but I worry that your crime will be thwarted when someone spots your extremely shiny hair helmet

“The Cocoanuts” began life as one of The Marx Brothers’ stage shows which also starred their frequent collaborator Margaret Dumont. She went on to be in 6 more of their films!

The Marx Brothers made a short in 1921 called “Humor Risk” but after being previewed once the film was never released and Groucho was rumored to have burnt the film negatives but who the fuck knows

“The Cocoanuts” (1929) was Kay Francis’s second feature film and it was The Marx Brothers first “official” feature film.

Sorry about the slightly wonky sound but to be fair, this is from 1929 so.. yeah
