It is believed by many that the Marx Brothers didn't start making films until "talkies" were created. However, several years before that, they did make a film titled Humor Risk (aka Humorisk). The film was only shown once and received very mixed reviews. Groucho Marx was reportedly so ashamed of the film that he destroyed the only copy, although many have disputed this claim.

The film has never been screened outside of its original showing. Very little is known about the plot and Groucho never mentioned it much at all.
