Presenting the greatest and most hilarious examples of Groucho, one of the most influential and well-loved figures in the long and glittering history of comedy. From early scripts to complete screenplays, from magazine funnies to fascinating personal correspondence, via books, greedy banks, even greedier lawyers and the coming of television, Kanfer's collection captures the essence of Groucho's inimitable comic genius. 'I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception...

The only complaint I have is the book is too short. A wonderful collection of scripts and tales. The Groucho letters chapter illustrates the genius of the man.
Highly recommended for anyone who has laughed at A Marx Bros scetch

Sorry about the awful pun, there. Rest assured the book itself contains nothing as inane as that. Superb examples of his own wit as well as that of his writers abound in this very well researched and presented book. Of course there is a little duplication from other published works, but this one manages to pull together more than a few unknown pearls. The last section of supposed ad-libs from his TV show is worth the price alone. Danger - Genius at Work.

This was bought for a third Party but he assures me that it was well worth the money. Also the book was delivered in very good time.
