Question
Hi and thanks for taking my question.
Is there any known audio or video surviving in which Chico speaks without his stage Italian accent?
Thanks again.
Hello there!
I believe that I have seen an interview with Chico somewhere without his Italian accent, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was on. It may have been on the Unknown Marx Brothers (which is a documentary) or a special feature on one of the DVD Box-sets of the Marx Brothers' films. But to tell the truth, I think that it was on "The Unknown Marx Brothers".
I'm sorry that I couldn't have been of more help.
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.
