From Quiz The Secret Link is Groucho

Answer: Love Happy

Most Marxists don't consider "Love Happy" to be a true Marx Brothers movie.

As a result, the three are together only briefly, and that near the end. Today, the greatest claim to fame for "Love Happy" is as the debut film for Marilyn Monroe, even though she had appeared in a few movies before this clunker. "Casablanca" was the last movie designed specifically for Minnie's Boys. The three also appeared in Irwin Shaw's "The Story of Mankind", but never appeared in the same scene.
