Groucho Marx,the fast-talking,wise- cracking,cigar-weilding third of the Marx
Brothers - he of the suggestive eyebrows, rimless spectacles and heavy black moustache - is well known to us through films that have become classics of comedy and a cult to generations unborn when they
were made: Animal Crackers,Monkey Business,Horsefeathers,Duck Soup,A Night at the Opera,A Day at the Races.However, there was another Groucho behind the public image,and here his son Arthur shows us the warm and loving family man,the loyal friend,the extravagant spender and the prudent spendthrift,the unpredictable, inconsistent non-conformist who never lost
his eye for a pretty girl.
'My Life with Groucho' charts the long career of a man who,born into an impoverished immigrant family,became one of the world's best-loved comedians.With his brothers Chico and Harpo,Groucho progressed from vaudeville tours to Broadway shows to Hollywood films; and when the Marx Brothers finally disbanded,he made a whole new,highly successful career for himself on radio and television.
Master of the ad lib,his wit was legendary.Sadly,far from bringing the serene and contented retirement he had always hoped for,Groucho's last years were
clouded by estrangement (albeit temporary) from his three children,stress and domestic turmoil when he fell under the influence of a young woman determined to dominate his personal and professional life.Arthur Marx tells the whole story here for the first time.
