Chico and Groucho were always great on the wordplay. One thing I love about the movies is Margaret Beaumont's expressions whenever she's in the same shot with Groucho or Chico and they make one of their jokes. I remember reading somewhere that when she'd rehearse her lines, she never knew what Groucho or Chico would say to her after her lines, so she never knew the wit that was coming. You could tell she was trying to stay in character and keep from cracking up.

Chico was my favorite. Such a fooling-around twinkle in his eye and what a piano player. He was probably so much fun and an intelligent guy. I know he had a gamboling problem, and that Groucho paid a lot of his debts, but his sense of comedy was wonderful and he just gave off such wonderful vibes like everything was all right and life was a blast. At the same time, you knew was very serious about things. I’d like to think he was a wonderful father,, but probably irresponsible about money. A wonderful man to love, but very difficult to do so. All the Marx Brothers needed each other and they were so important to the soul of America at that time - when people went to the movies and had everyone around you laughing their heads off and loving it together. 🤣😂😋😜🌷🌱

I always think of Chico as the glue of the act. He could create a great scene with either Groucho or Harpo....but Harpo and Groucho rarely did a scene together. (one great exception is in Duck Soup) That's a pretty versatile comic to be able to work with two completely different styles and make it genius. Groucho claimed that Chico didn't work hard on his act. But I have a hard time believing Chico could get that great on piano and develop such a unique style without working on it. If so...that means Chico was a musical genius.
