Hollywood Steps Out

Description

At Ciro’s, a variety of classic Hollywood figures enjoy a night out. Throughout the evening, Clark Gable trails a mysterious blonde who is revealed at the end to be none other than Groucho Marx!

This short is currently unrestored and is missing its full ending. In 2016, Steve Stanchfield uploaded a compilation of nitrate animated clips, and among them was the nearly complete excerpt of the ending scene in which Clark Gable declares, “I’m a bad boy” to the audience after Groucho reveals himself.
