I don't know for sure, but I think that Copacabana was the last film Groucho was seen in his greasepaint mustache and eyebrows and his classic swallowtail coat.

Last film yes, last time, no. He put on the make-up again and coat for an appearance with Jackie Gleason in the late 1960s.

A good piece of trivia -- thanks! BTW, I love Copacabana -- I think it's a wildly underrated Groucho Marx film.

To clarify, I meant a television appearance---clips of which are on youtube---and not Skidoo.

I loved that scene. This movie is SO underrated.
