Did you know Groucho Marx didn't have a mustache in any of the Marx Brothers movies? It was just greasepaint. You'd think such a thing would be very noticeable, but I only learned last year.

I did know that about Groucho. You can tell in closer shots when he turns to the side and you see his profile. And then, once you've determined something strange is afoot, it's more noticeable throughout. I remember watching a bunch of Marx Brothers films back in 97 or so. And I think the mysterious non-mustache was one of the first things that prompted me to use those free trial AOL minutes to do an internet research deep-dive (another was the Pink FLoyd Dark Side of the Moon - Wizard of Oz connection).
