NOTE: The audio goes out of synch with the video for about a minute around 20 minutes in. It's back in synch by the final segment (I couldn't correct it any better than this - sorry.)

COUPLE #1: Joyce McCardigan, contestant in the staggeringly awkwardly named "Mrs. Housing Development" beauty contest / Phil Brooker, who "fixes" spedometers

COUPLE #2: Charles Vespia, who dated practically every female member of his wife's family / Shirley Rause and her wonder dog, Mr. Dempsey. Shades of Raffles the talking myna bird from this earlier episode: youtube.com/watch?v=1DOfeUY-eJo

Charles's wife Leona-- who looks like a very young Sylvia Sidney-- comes onstage at one point and convinces Groucho to let her husband sing "Arrivederci Roma".
