Groucho: What’s his name? (referring to the tenor he wants to sign)Ĭhico : It’s an italian name. This line is in the DVD edition, but right after it you can see a jump cut.Ĭhico: No, only my mama and papa is italian. In the scene, when Groucho and Chico first meet, when they are standing on Lasparri, I found two additional sentences. It was her, but she sang a different part of the opera, and she was only shown above the waist, rather than what is in the DVD version, where she is standing, and we can see a man behind her. The other shock was when Kitty Carlisle was singing. Then Chico said to Allan Jones “Someday you’re gonna be where Lasparri is”, but the man who was singing wasn’t Lasparri at all. The first thing that absolutely shocked me was that when Harpo and Chico are backstage, the music of the opera was loud, and instead of the shot of Lasparri singing in his white clothes, they showed a man singing who wasn’t him, and he wore different clothes. I watched the first reel of the print of the Hungarian National Film Archive, to find two additional shots, two additional sentences, and different angles of already known shots. In an email to the Marx Brothers fansite Marxology, Tamas detailed his discovery. Racz Tamas, an 18-year old student was viewing the first reel of the film at the Hungarian Film Archive, when he noticed several lines and alternate shots not in the commonly seen version of the film. A reel of the Marx Brothers classic A Night At The Opera discovered in a Hungarian archive has reportedly yielded some some hitherto thought lost footage from the comedy classic.
