The ones I like the best were the ones about his brothers, vaudeville, and "You Bet Your Life" (which I actually remember watching). Julius Marx (Groucho) actually wrote a newspaper column of which there were portions of in this book and were interesting to read as well. He aspired to be a writer, but aside from his newspaper column was not as successful as he was on stage. This is an interesting compilation of his writings. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
(Applause Books). Groucho Marx was a comic genius who starred on stage and in film, radio, and television. But he was also a gifted writer the author of a play, two screenplays, seven books, and over 100 articles and essays. This newly expanded collection presents the best of Groucho's short comic pieces, written over a period of more than fifty years between 1919 and 1973 for the New York Times , the New Yorker , the Saturday Evening Post , Variety , the Hollywood Reporter , and other newspapers and magazines. Here is the one and only Groucho on his family, his days in vaudeville, his career, World War II, taxes, and other topics from his love of a good cigar to his chronic insomnia, from "Why Harpo Doesn't Talk" to "The Truth About Captain Spalding." The familiar irreverence, wordplay, and a dash of self-deprecation bring Groucho's wisecracking voice to life in these pages, firmly establishing him as one of the world's great humorists. Groucho Marx and Other Short Stories and Tall Tales (a title of Groucho's own choosing) is essential reading for Marx Brothers fans, and a hilarious and nostalgic trip through the twentieth century.

But the sincere pieces were moving, the biographical pieces fascinating, and the pure chaotic humor pieces hilarious. And many of these were five-star caliber . . . so four stars overall. ( )
