	margaret dumont \| biography (1889-1965)
		Margaret Dumont was a versatile actress who played a wide range of roles during her 60-year theatrical career, but she will always be remembered as the naive social climber who so confidently entrusted her rise in society to Groucho in seven Marx Brothers films.
		She was playing in a musical, The Summer Widowers, when she met John Moller Jr, son of a wealthy businessman and a member of New York's socially prominent '400' families.
		But in fact Margaret Dumont herself was far from naive about her contribution to A Day at the Races, for which she won the Screen Actors Guild award in 1937.

		Originally an opera singer, American actress Margaret Dumont was engaged in 1925 to act in The Cocoanuts, a Broadway musical comedy starring the Marx Brothers.
		It was for this picture that Dumont won a Screen Actor's Guild award; upon this occasion, film critic Cecilia Ager suggested that a monument be erected in honor of Dumont's courage and steadfastness in the face of the Marx invasion.
		Dumont made her last professional appearance a week before her death, on the TV variety series Hollywood Palace; appropriately, it was in support of Groucho Marx in a re-creation of the "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" production number from Animal Crackers.

		The "Fifth Marx Brother," as Dumont was often called, was dignified and prudish, consistently acting the straight woman to the Marx Brothers' eternal shenanigans.
		Dumont began her sixteen-year career with America's funniest family while they were still on stage, performing as the snotty socialite to Groucho's down-and-out hotel owner in the Broadway production of The Coconuts (1925).
		Dumont even held her own in the infamously all-women cast of The Women (1939), a movie which featured Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Rosalind Russell, Mary Boland and Joan Fontaine.

	Margaret Dumont and The House Dick
		Margaret Dumont was the classiest lady who ever graced the silver screen...all the more so because she had to maintain her poise in the face of the 4 most demented comedians of all time.
		Groucho always claimed she didn't understand the jokes, which I find hard to believe given that she was a classic "straight man" which is the hardest kind of comedy.

	Review of The Cocoanuts, starring Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx, Zeppo Marx, Margaret Dumont
		It features the Marx Brothers in the roles that they soon made famous -- Groucho, with the grease paint mustache, master of the fast wisecrack; Chico, the vaguely-Italian pianist who constantly looking to con someone, and Harpo, who never speaks, but is the master of outrageous comedy and pantomime.
		Margaret Dumont, Groucho's perennial foil, appears in this first film as well.
		There is a plot to the movie, dealing with Groucho trying to flim-flam everyone possible in a land swindle, but that's frankly of secondary concern to the antics of the Marx Brothers.

		To raise money he sells his shares of the department store that he and his aunt, Martha Phelps (Margaret Dumont) own.
		Phelps is the last good moment between Groucho and Dumont, and watching Flywheel and Ravelli try to sell "modern" bunk beds is also pretty good.
		The sheer unpredictability is what makes this film great, from when Margaret Dumont gets in Flywheel's car, to the absolute comic genius of the funniest chase scenes i have ever scene.

		By all accounts Margaret Dumont in real life never understood the Marx Brothers jokes so she was perfect in those roles.
		But Mara Vanderslice is just as misinformed about Christianity as Kerry is so unfortunately does not apply the tension or opposition that Margaret provided.
		But Mara's views are pretty funny on their own and Kerry might make a good strait man. With a face like he has, there are miles or room for expression in response to wacky things that Mara says.

	Baltimore City Paper: FILM A Night at the Opera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The setting is appropriate for the Marx Brothers' most popular movie, a farce pitched to such grandiose comic heights it's almost operatic.
		As ever, Groucho plays a scheming wise guy who, when he isn't busy hustling dowager Margaret Dumont, teams with foils/accomplices Chico and Harpo to take the piss out of a pompous opera impresario (the great Sig Rumann) and an imperious tenor (Walter Woolf King).
		The reason for all the shenanigans--to get comely singing lovebirds Allan Jones and Kitty Carlisle to center stage--barely matters amid the clatter and chatter of classic Marxism, a blizzard of sight gags (including the still dizzyingly funny stateroom scene), barely contained destruction (courtesy force-of-nature Harpo), and absurdist repartee.

	Margaret Dumont - Actor Movie Reviews at TopTenReviews.com
		Margaret Dumont would probably consider it a tragedy that she is best-known for her performances as the ultimate straight woman in seven of the Marx Brothers' films (including most of their best).
		By all accounts she never understood their jokes (offscreen and on), which is of course a major reason why she's so funny.

		After an opening in which she tries to give her sizable fortune to the government, she's sent to shrink Cummings, who puts her on the couch and gets her to open up about her many dead husbands, launching the flashbacks.
		We see her childhood, when domineering mom Dumont incessantly preached the importance of marrying a rich man, which caused Louisa to rebel by dumping the guy whose family owned the town (Martin) in favor of a Thoreau-reading eccentric (Van Dyke).
		In a pattern that repeats throughout the movie, Louisa's quest for "the simple life" falls victim to her husbands' changes of heart.
