Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGroucho Marx told an anecdote - both on a '60s Today Show segment and in print - that the movie's producer asked three aspiring actresses to walk seductively past Marx. Whomever Marx decided was the best walker would play opposite him in the film. When the third girl walked past, Marx asked the producer, "How could you possibly choose anyone but that last one?" Marx had chosen Marilyn Monroe for the film.
- GoofsThe theatre's name changes from the Windsor to the Century and then back to the Windsor.
- Quotes
Detective Sam Grunion, narrator of the story: I am the same Sam Grunion who solved the international uranium-mining swindle. Scotland Yard was baffled; the FBI was baffled. They sent for me and the case was solved immediately: I confessed.
- Alternate versionsThe DVD version released in 2004 runs 91 minutes (despite what it says on the box) and contains several scenes not included in the 85 min. version long seen in the U.S.- 1.Harpo giving link sausages to the front man in a bull costume by threading them through a nostril in the bull head and handing the back end man a ham. 2. Groucho showing photos of himself in different disguises with Madame Egilichi and then providing voice-over narration for a scene of Chico trying to bribe Mr. Lyons by setting him up with a chorus girl. 3. Harpo being put through a washing machine by Madame Egilichi's henchmen. 4. Harpo becoming completely enveloped in smoke from the KOOL sign and ducking into an air vent which sucks away the smoke. This version is also missing a scene in which Groucho observes that the show would have been saved if Maggie had accepted the sardines Harpo gave her.

Featured review
The Marx brothers shtik is on its last legs in this one. Some production trivia mentioned in the Turner Classic Movies airing suggest that 'Love Happy' was intended to be a Harpo vehicle, but the backers weren't going to unless Groucho and Chico were also in. A lot of the Marx vaudeville formula is evident and may seem a bit worn, but Harpo still gets me with his crazy mime and charades. He has a scene with Chico that is pretty comical. The REAL gem in 'Love Happy' is Vera-Ellen's Sadie Thompson dance number. Man, that chic could really move it on high-heels. Wow!
