Whatever their life was like together, the battle being waged in Santa Monica, Calif., between Fleming and the bank that was named as Marx's executor has had all the decorum of the courtroom scene in Duck Soup. In the seven-week case, which goes to the jury this week, the Bank of America accused her of gulling the comedian out of $428,000 before he died in 1977 at the age of 86.
