Harpo was my favorite Marx brother - all his humor was physical - Harpo was not glib, like Groucho.

Having said that - I AM aware that Harpo was a well known misogynist and my preference for him over Groucho must eventually be explained to the court of dopers.

Yes - I vote for HARPO the misogynist Marx Brother
