What a curious object for thievery, though . . . .

Thanks for reminding me, Karl. I'd forgotten:

'A Curious Bobject for Thievery' by Ivor Nextrabee

[RebLem]

Did you mean The Icicle Thief, not The Bicycle Thief? Just wondering, we awl make typos . . . .

I meant this film: 
The Icicle Thief (Italian: Ladri di saponette) is a 1989 Italian comedy film directed by Maurizio Nichetti, named in imitation of Vittorio De Sica's classic Italian neorealist film, The Bicycle Thief (Italian: Ladri di biciclette). Some feel "The Icicle Thief" was created as a spoof of neorealism, which predominated Italian cinema after World War II. However, it is generally understood to go beyond this and to take a stand against commercialism as destructive towards art. The film won the Golden St. George at the 16th Moscow International Film Festival.

The film has about 3 different threads, but one involves an Italian man who has extreme difficulty finding any sort of employment in the economic chaos following WWII, but finally lands a job in a chandelier factory.  His wife tempts him to steal a chandelier for her, because she has always wanted a chandelier because they remind her of a collection of icicles.  He succumbs to the temptation and steals a chandelier, putting it in the basket of his bicycle, with no covering over it, as he travels home after work.  He is caught, of course, and loses his job as a result.

Gummo and Zeppo!

Gummo and Zeppo!

I know, I'm a huge fan of their movies; but for me the Marx Brothers are Groucho, Chico, Harpo and that's that.

Yeah, but, OTOH, Zeppo was involved in designing the clamps that held the bomb dropped on Hiroshima from Enola Gay. (yeah, I've been watching some QI lately, Nav )

The other three did all the fun stuff, and Zeppo got tired of being the straight man/dullsville romantic lead.

I forget details, but I have an idea that Gummo was briefly part of their act during the pre-movie vaudeville days.
