    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Groucho 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.

      The 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 versions
      The 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.

    Marx brothers together for the last time
    Love Happy is the last movie where the Marx brothers appear together.Harpo is the biggest star of the movie.He gets in a trouble when he steals a sardine can that has Romanoff's diamond inside.Love Happy is good Marx movie.Groucho, Harpo and Chico are as good as they were in their younger days.And you can see Marilyn Monroe in a little part as Groucho's client.A must see for Marx fans, especially Harpo fans.
