What happens when two of the world’s greatest tennis players join up with two of the most famous comedians of all time?  Check out this rare footage of Wimbledon champ Fred Perrry and Groucho Marx take on Ellsworth Vines (also a Wimbledon champ) and Charlie Chaplin.  The match was set to promote the Beverly Hills Tennis Club, which Perry and Vines were founders of.  Fun video!

Groucho Marx remembers how he got back at Irving Thalberg, the head of production at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, for making him wait hours before their first meeting and describes a hilarious interaction with Greta Garbo, an MGM star, in an elevator. MGM was founded on April 17, 1925 when Marcus Loew purchased several struggling studios.
