Il "muto" dei fratelli Marx in un test muto, ma a colori! Di che colore si tratta? Secondo Jeff Joseph - che ha ritrovato quest'autentica rarità - "potrebbe trattarsi di Multicolor, un precursore del Cinecolor. L'elemento nitrato rinvenuto lo scorso anno era una copia Cinecolor del 1940. Richard Dayton, dei laboratori YCM che hanno restaurato il frammento, dice che il negativo originale non avrebbe potuto essere un Technicolor, perché nel 1940 sarebbe stato difficile duplicare il Technicolor con il sistema Cinecolor. Poiché la copia ritrovata è un Cinecolor, la mia ipotesi è che si sia trattato di Multicolor. Ma è solo un'ipotesi". Comunque sia, l'aspetto più interessante del frammento è che Harpo sta provando una scena senza la sua celebre parrucca bionda, e indossa un accappatoio al posto dell'impermeabile.
