Synopsis
'The temptation to write about yourself is irresistible, especially when you are prodded into it by a crafty publisher who has slyly baited you into doing it with a miserly advance of fifty dollars and a box of cheap cigars' - Groucho Marx
Groucho Marx's autobiography is a rags-to-riches story with a difference. The most outrageous and voluble of the legendary Marx Brothers had a career that stretched from Vaudeville to gameshow, conquering Hollywood on the way. From the triumphs and disasters of a life spent in show business to his unconsummated loves, Groucho's story is told with humour and wit and in Groucho's own unique style.
As TS Eliot said of him: 'The mind boggles'.

The only thing the man can t do is sing, and that gave me an opening. But he can do everything else. I envy him this book, most of his wives and all of his talent Frank Sinatra

The temptation to write about yourself is irresistible, especially when you are prodded into it by a crafty publisher who has slyly baited you into doing it with a miserly advance of fifty dollars and a box of cheap cigars
Groucho & Me is a rags-to-riches tale with a difference. Son of a Yorkville tailor, the most outrageous and voluble of the Marx Brothers enjoyed a career that stretched from small-time vaudeville to TV gameshow, conquering Hollywood on the way.
Told with irreverent wit and impeccable timing, and with Groucho s inimitable style and sense of the absurd, Groucho & Me reveals the saga of the Marx Brothers, from childhood poverty to their adventures on the big screen, the making of their classic films and Groucho s triumphant TV series You Bet Your Life.
Groucho & Me is the outrageous and hilarious autobiography of an eccentric comic genius.
