* You can always spot Margaret Dumont's character in the cast list of a Creator/MarxBrothers movie, since she inevitably played a feisty, wealthy GrandDame known only by her surname ([[Film/ANightAtTheOpera "Mrs. Claypool"]], [[Film/DuckSoup "Mrs. Teasdale"]], [[Film/ADayAtTheRaces "Mrs. Upjohn"]], [[Theatre/AnimalCrackers "Mrs. Rittenhouse"]], etc.). By the same token, Groucho almost always played a character with two names and a middle initial ([[Film/ANightAtTheOpera "Otis B. Driftwood"]], [[Film/DuckSoup "Rufus T. Firefly"]], [[Film/ADayAtTheRaces "Hugo Z. Hackenbush"]], etc.), and Chico and Harpo inevitably played ThoseTwoGuys with OnlyOneName each ([[Film/ANightAtTheOpera "Tomaso" and "Fiorello"]], [[Film/DuckSoup "Chicolini" and "Pinky"]], [[Film/ADayAtTheRaces "Tony" and "Stuffy"]], etc.). The convention was a handy way to reinforce the idea that each actor played a variation of the same comedic character in every movie.
