    I'm watching a movie about Chuck on Prime Video. I don't remember it
    being mentioned in the group before. It features Chuck's wife and many
    other talking about Chuck's career and everything along with lots of
    clips of him. Looks like it originated on Apple TV.

    They think he got the duck walk from the mirror scene in "Duck Soup"
    where Grouch does it. Check out the clip, I cued it up to the exact spot
    in the scene where Groucho does the duck walk.

    Nope. That kind of stiff-legged skip Groucho does is fun, and Chuckk may have done something similar at times, but the actual CB duckwalk is done with
    bended knees. Check it out here:

    I was under the impression that he got it from T-Bone Walker, but I
    can't find any video of T-Bone from the 1940s or early 50s to verify this.

    That doesn't preclude Chuck getting the idea from what Groucho did and
    changing it some.

    It doesn't preclude him getting the dance from Harpo either, or Charlie Chaplin, or the famous bent knee cossack dance, or a whole lot of other
    things. Sheesh.
