If you're expecting fireworks when Groucho encounters a Rabbi (thinking of some of the stories of his hilarious encounters with other clergymen), just remember that this is 1956. Groucho is completely respectful. But he does get off a good line that I won't spoil, about actors in synagogues.

COUPLE #1: Jules Strongbow / Rita Chalmers
COUPLE #2: Rabbi Nussbaum / Mary Bramson, young girl
COUPLE #3: Joe & Ivy Messer, a couple with 8 kids, including 3 sets of twins
