Question
I've read that Chico Marx was in a car accident during the shooting of Horse Feathers, however that's all I've read. Are there any more details about this? Like, how he got in a car crash, where, etc.?
I believe that Chico's accident happened in downtown Los Angeles. He injured the right side of his body as can be seen in the "McCarty and Mullins" scene. (His right leg is noticeably stiff and imobile.) Other than that, I'm afraid that there are no further details. (He might have been intoxicated at the time but this is mere and high speculation from critics.)
I hope this helps!
Cheers ~J.

Expertise
I can answer almost any question relating to any of the Marx Brothers or their films. Their personal lives were, I believe, twice as interesting as their professional personas.
Experience
I have read many books on the subject including the memoirs of the two most famous Marx Brothers, Groucho and Harpo as well as "Growing up with Chico" the only book written expressly about Chico Marx. Also, I have done exstensive research on all of the brothers, my senior paper being on the subject of their lives.
