Groucho Marx & Friends for Hallmark Christmas Cards

December 3rd, 2007 by Scott Marks

The spirit of Christmas as captured on canvas by a cold and distant disciplinarian, Ronald Reagan’s ex-wife, the cheapest man in Hollywood and a cranky old Jew. You know that Fred MacMurray only agreed to do it if they gave him a gross of cards for free.

Thanks to Rob Martinez for the use of the ad!
