Review
Part of 'The World According to..' series. An informative biography, which features extracts and quotes from his works. Provides a fascinating insight into this unique individual.
Product Description
Having amused and bemused millions across the globe, Groucho Marx had a hilarious opinion on every subject and a radical riposte for every occasion. This biography covers such subjects as his childhood and family, women and love, marriage and divorce, and politics and wealth. Born in New York in 1890 to a French mother and German father, Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx began his stage career at 15, and after many disappointments and much perseverance, he enjoyed his first success alongside his brothers in a Broadway show in 1924. More successful stage shows followed until his clever word-play and unique wit began to spread to a much wider audience through his many films, books, and radio shows. Entertaining and informative, this account quotes Marx's works, providing a fascinating insight into this unique individual—arguably the 20th century's greatest comedian.
