Groucho was prone to spontaneous bursts of dance any time there was music being performed on You Bet Your Life. Here's a 5 minute video compiling many of these great moments.
Whether he's doing an Irish jig, the flamenco, a hep cat jitterbug step, a waltz, a tango, or the bunny hop, it's hard to believe the guy in these clips was around 70 years old. And remember: 70 years old in 1960 was not what 70 years old is now. 70 years old in 1960 was *old*.
Some of these bits I've already posted in longer form as their own highlight clips, but there are several great segments included in this montage that I haven't excerpted before.
In closing, I sincerely apologize for using the word "montage".

![Burns and Allen - Classic Scenes #3 - Gracie humiliates George at gin rummy [clip]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wuyZ0FlNnjw/mqdefault.jpg "Burns and Allen - Classic Scenes #3 - Gracie humiliates George at gin rummy [clip]
An absolutely classic bit from The Burns & Allen Show, Season 4 Episode 38 (Aug 9, 1954). Gracie thoroughly humbles George at gin rummy after he clobbers Harry Von Zell in a game. One of my all time favorite routines from the entire series, this is a great example of how the universe always seemed to bend in Gracies favor, as if she were virtually a force of nature.")
