Product Description
Book Description
The most outrageous of the Marx brothers, in his own words
Product Description
'The temptation to write about yourself is irresistible, especially when you are prodded into it by a crafty publisher who has slyly baited you into doing it with a miserly advance of fifty dollars and a box of cheap cigars' - Groucho Marx
Groucho Marx's autobiography is a rags-to-riches story with a difference. The most outrageous and voluble of the legendary Marx Brothers had a career that stretched from Vaudeville to gameshow, conquering Hollywood on the way. From the triumphs and disasters of a life spent in show business to his unconsummated loves, Groucho's story is told with humour and wit and in Groucho's own unique style.
As TS Eliot said of him: 'The mind boggles'.

Format:Paperback
I got this book for my birthday and it's absolutely brilliant! I didn't know that much about Groucho before reading it (just the usual) but now I've become a huge fan. I've even bought two of the Marx brother's films on DVD! Funny and entertaining and has all the information you need to know and would like to know about Groucho. Recommended with my eyes closed.

My partner and I only got into the Marx brothers films last year. Watching each of them, chronologically, has been a joy. Read more
