Seller Description
Book Overview This definitive biography of one of the world's greatest comedians unflinchingly yet affectionately uncovers the man behind the cigar. Here is the amazing career of the man the world recognized as Groucho: the improbable disasters of the vaudeville years; the Marx Brothers, an act so funny W.C. Fields refused to follow it; the unprecedented Broadway success of The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers ; the cinematic triumphs of Duck Soup and A Night at the Opera ; and the marvelous come-back career as king of the game show hosts with You Bet Your Life . Here, too, is the man himself: a lonely middle child who aspired to be a doct? a man who sabotaged three marriages; a father alternately indulgent and cruel. Intelligent and thorough, hilarious and sad, Groucho is a spectacular biography of the century's most influential comedian.
