I’ve recently been watching some old Marx Brothers movies that I don’t think I’ve seen since I was a kid, and I couldn’t stop noticing just how ridiculously fake Groucho Marx’s mustache looked. For some reason, I hadn’t recalled that it was painted on like that. I remembered it having an obviously unreal quality but thought at minimum it was some kind of mock hair pasted on. But this bold black makeup striped across his upper lip (and “bushy” brows as well) is really pushing the boundaries of an audience’s willingness to suspend disbelief. And yet we do…
That's beautiful, Kimley! I'm always surprised to see how handsome Charlie Chaplin was in real life - great hair! And Groucho, too... you see that they are human men in that reveal.
There's an episode of Adventure Time where Finn and Jake don Groucho masks, but they pronounce it Groo-cho. Very sweet!
