Groucho's second appearance as host
Groucho's second appearance as host of Hollywood Palace, originally aired on Apr 17, 1965. In addition to hosting, Groucho reprises the introduction of Captain Spaulding from the play/movie "Animal Crackers" (@ 50:00), with a special appearance by the grand dame herself. . . the original Mrs. Rittenhouse. . . Margaret Dumont! This was Dumont's last public appearance; she passed away shortly after filming this show.
Also appearing is Groucho's daughter, Melinda, who sings a number that's a clear rip off of Petula Clark's hit "Downtown", entitled "The East Side of Town" (!) The song couldn't possibly be more derivative without its writers getting sued for plagiarism. (@ 9:15) After her solo number, Melinda and Groucho perform a charming duet of Irving Berlin's "Play a Simple Melody" (@ 14:15), a song they performed together many times on TV when she was younger.
Here's a link to Groucho's first appearance hosting Hollywood Palace, performing one of his favorite songs, "Dr. Hackenbush":
