What happens

Love Happy is a 1949 American musical comedy film released by United Artists, directed by David Miller and starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho, Harpo and Chico) in their 13th and final feature film. The screenplay was written by Frank Tashlin and Mac Benoff, based on a story by Harpo. The film, produced by former silent film star Mary Pickford, features Groucho Marx in a smaller role than usual, with a supporting cast including Ilona Massey, Vera-Ellen, Marion Hutton, Raymond Burr, Paul Valentine, Eric Blore and Bruce Gordon (in his film debut), as well as a cameo appearance by a relatively unknown Marilyn Monroe.
