Welcome the Marx Bros. to the public domain!
Their first film THE COCOANUTS (1929) is now on Tubi in a P.D. transfer.
Distributor Shoreline Entertainment's website says their classic film P.D. titles are “legally sourced from the owner,” which may explain why the transfer looks so good.

#TheBigStore (1941) airs on TCM Friday at 9:30am ET.
It's not their best (or even close), but it's the #MarxBros film WCBS Channel 2 in New York seemed to air the most on The Late Show back in the pre-VCR days (circa 1979-80).
So it will always have a special place in my heart.
