They recreated the silverware routine from #AnimalCrackers (1930).

#TheBigStore (1941) airs on TCM Friday at 9:30am ET.
It's not their best (or even close), but it's the #MarxBros film WCBS Channel 2 in New York seemed to air the most on The Late Show back in the pre-VCR days (circa 1979-80).
So it will always have a special place in my heart.
