No this is not Humor Risk (which is forever lost since the brothers burned the only copy), this is called:

The Incredible Jewel Robbery

Description:

The Incredible Jewel Robbery was a 30 minute TV special broadcast by CBS on 8 March 1959. It was the last television appearance together of the three Marx Brothers. Harpo and Chico plot to pull off a jewel heist in a totally wordless twenty minute sequence.

This gem hasnt been released for some decades.

Any help with this one?

Clips of it can be found in the documentary The Unknown Marx Brothers and I think Mixed Nuts. It isn't realy that good and Groucho only appears at the very end. It's also available on 8mm.

I think the unfinished Marx Pilot 'The Deputy Seraph' is more worthy of a preservation. I would lvoe to get my hands on that.

Thanks, that's where I first saw the clips but it isn't exactly good enough for a preservation.

Nobody is a fan of the MARX BROTHERS?

I found one place to get a digital transfer of this

CLICK

But, of course this isnt an official transfer, most likely from the originally released mm copy.

I could have sworn this was a bonus included on a Marx Brothers box set I saw in the store recently.
