There is one book publisher pulling a riddle, and we can not find the solution to a very hard question regarding this movie:
It says that Harpo was asked by the producers to speak one sinlge word in this movie. He was offered a huge amount of money to say it, as usually he is absolutely mute in his movies. He refused and remained silent as ever.
The question is: What was the word?
If anybody knows, please let me know, as I can not find anything about this in the net.
Many thanks in advance for your help!!

No - one of the singers extends the syllables of the last line pretty good, as in "Sweeeeeeet-Aaaaad-elllll-iiiine"
It's a very distinctive voice - but my guess is that the voice is Harpo's, since the singers are not shown on-camera; instead, they are all stowed away in 4 barrels and the camera only shows the exteriors of the barrels.
I think this was the Marx's own little joke: having Harpo vocalize but never revealing that it's his voice.
"Don't call me 'honey', mac."
"Don't call me 'mac' HONEY!" -
