DESCRIPTION:
Julius Henry Marx.. With impeccable timing, outrageous humor, irreverent wit, and a superb sense of the ridiculous, Groucho tells the saga of the Marx Brothers: the poverty of their childhood in New York's Upper East Side; the crooked world of small-time vaudeville (where they learned to carry blackjacks); how a pretzel magnate and the graceless dancer of his dreams led to the Marx Brothers' first Broadway hit, I'll Say She Is!; how the stock market crash in 1929 proved a godsend for Groucho (even though he lost nearly a quarter of a million dollars); the adventures of the Marx Brothers in Hollywood, the making of their hilarious films, and Groucho's triumphant television series,You Bet Your Life!

Not so much a biography as it is a series of wonderful stories that occurred throughout his life.If you're a Groucho fan you'll really enjoy this book. Once started, it's hard to put down until finished.. Excellent. High reommended. A fine book. Learn about his early life and much more. One of the greatest comedians of the age.
