A few years ago, I remember watching a short subject on TCM.
Some items I remember about it:
-
It appeared to be one of those “everyone we employ appears on camera” shorts, and was (at least in part) set on a ship.
-
The only people I remember being in it were the Marx Brothers (minus Zeppo), Hugh (Woo-woo) Herbert, and Joe “Duck” Penner.
-
The presence of Penner means that this short was filled before January 1941, when Penner died.
-
The non-presence of Zeppo Marx suggests that this is from the MGM period.
-
Some of Herbert’s lines appear to be a parody of the original “Mutiny on the Bounty”.
The IMDB doesn’t recognize this.
So, does anyone know what I saw?
