'''Gaucho Marx'''<br />
The pun is obvious enough, but it just might derive from John Frankenheimer’s ''The Manchurian Candidate'' (1961). The main character, the humorless Raymond Shaw (Lawrence Harvey), calls attention to the pun as the first joke he’s deliberately made.
 
'''Martin Fierro'''<br>
''Martín Fierro'' is an epic poem by the Argentine writer José Hernández. The poem was originally published in two parts, ''El Gaucho Martín Fierro'' (1872) and ''La Vuelta de Martín Fierro'' (1879). The poem is, in part, a protest against the Europeanizing and modernizing tendencies of Argentine president Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. Wikipedia
