Am I reading too much into this....
...or are there others out there who think that there is no doubt that Chico Marx very likely had something going on with Thelma Todd. I mean, not to over dramatize this idea, but I always see a big time sexuality going on with these two, particularly when he's playing piano while she's sitting next to him. I know he really liked women and apparently was very successful where this endeavor was concerned. I just get the impression from watching this movie that he may have been visiting her dressing room between scenes if you know what I mean.
