Best Of Groucho GROUCHO AND ME review
The Groucho Marx memoir Best Of Groucho is a brisk, humorous portrait of his life and career. It notes his family in New York, early vaudeville, Broadway, and film work, praising his ad lib style but calling the book not a masterwork, yet a peck of fun. Reviewer W. G. Rogers highlights episodes from youth, stage pranks, and his sharp witticisms about critics and theater.
