Continuity mistake: When Chico and Harpo bring Groucho ice in his office at Huxley College, Harpo is wearing some kind of earmuffs. Between shots they change from going round his chin to behind his head.
Horse Feathers (1932)
Directed by: Norman Z. McLeod
Starring: Chico Marx, Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx, The Marx Brothers
Other mistake: When Harpo and Chico are shooting spitwads at Groucho in the classroom, Groucho's line gets cut short when he is hit flat on the side of the head with a book. He then falls back and says, "You got me" and if you listen closely you can hear someone laugh in the background.
Continuity mistake: Groucho plays 'Everyone Says I Love You' in a boat, and he is playing a solid-body acoustic/electric guitar. At the end of the song, he throws the guitar into the pond, but it has become a regular hollow-body acoustic.
Retiring President: Professor Wagstaff, now that you have stepped into my shoes.
Professor Wagstaff: Oh, is that what I stepped in? I wondered what it was. If these are your shoes, the least you can do is have 'em cleaned.
Professor Wagstaff: Why, I'd horsewhip you if I had a horse.
Professor Wagstaff: Oh, I love sitting on your lap. I could sit here all day if you didn't stand up.
