Capturing a Golden Moment #12: Monkey Business (1931)
In this series I'd like to present some exceptional scenes inspired by cinema's most gifted artists of yesteryear.
Monkey Business (1931)
Director: Norman Z. McLeod
Scene: "Punch and Judy Show"
Harpo is one of the Marx Brothers, all of whom are cruise ship stowaways running from the authorities.

Notice their adorable "waves goodbye" as Harpo makes his exit.
Monkey Business is available on DVD along with four other Marx Brothers' movies here:
