* ThrowItIn: Louis Soren (Chandler's actor) really did mix up his character's and Groucho's names.

I might be the news weekly for all he knows, or coming next week," were improvised on the spot. (You can tell because Chandler is laughing at Spalding's remark instead of staring at the camera in befuddlement)

* ActingForTwo: Zeppo doubled for Groucho during the blackout scene. Being the youngest, he could easily impersonate his brothers on occasion. The line, "Mrs Rittenhouse, did you lose that fish again?" was spoken by Zeppo.


Added DiffLines:

* FakeNationality: This is one of the few Creator/MarxBrothers movies in which the fact that Chico is obviously not truly Italian is referenced. When Chico is questioning Abie the fish-man (alias Roscoe W. Chandler) about his new identity, Chandler suddenly replies "Say, how did you get to be Italian?"

* {{Bowdlerization}}: During the song "Hooray for Captain Spaudling", there is an obvious jump in the picture and soundtrack after Mrs. Rittenhouse's verse "He's the only white man who covered every acre". This is due to TheHaysCode cutting out Groucho's suggestive lyric "I think I'll try and make her" when the film was reissued in 1936, and the cut remains in all prints to this day.
** Also for that re-release, the Flit logo on the flit gun Harpo fills with KnockoutGas is blotted out so Paramount wouldn't get into trouble with the Flit company.
** The original uncensored version was finally discovered and restored for a UsefulNotes/BluRay set in 2016.

* MissingEpisode: This became a hard-to-find rarity in the Marx Brothers' repertoire when Paramount failed to renew the copyright for film's soundtrack, which reverted to the songwriters of the original play (the picture rights, however, did get renewed).
