8. Review | The Essential Groucho by Groucho Marx and Stefan Kanfer
- www.nlc-bnc.ca
- The Essential Groucho .
- by Groucho Marx and Stefan Kanfer.
- Groucho Speaks.
- Reviewing The Essential Groucho is much like reviewing Groucho Marx himself. If, like me, you are fascinated and amused by Groucho, then these excerpts from the many aspects of his career will be both welcome and delightful. But if, somehow, Groucho's brand of double entendre non sequiturs and deadpan irreverence leaves your funny bone untickled, then not only is there no hope for you but you will fail -- absolutely fail, with no chance to appeal your grade -- to enjoy this Groucho primer, a book of such deadly humor that its author and subject has been dead since 1977.
- The Essential Groucho opens with an introduction by its compiler, Stefan Kanfer (also the author of the biography, Groucho: The Life and Times of Julius Henry Marx), who opines that Groucho's influence on humor and culture is so pervasive that "We are all Marxists now. ... Nevertheless, Groucho's iconoclastic wit has certainly left a stamp on Western humor and certainly his style and image have passed into 20th-century mythology as much as Elvis Presley (who died the same week Groucho did), Marilyn Monroe, or Albert Einstein.
- The Essential Groucho showcases Groucho's presence and success as a stage performer, film actor, comic writer, media personality, radio star and television host. In that spirit, it is divided in the following sections: dialogue excerpts from stage productions, feature films and radio serials; correspondence taken from The Groucho Letters; reprints of feature articles on Groucho and his brothers from Time Magazine and The New York Times; a selection of his comic prose for various periodicals; and, finally, snippets of banter from Groucho's long-running radio and television game show, You Bet Your Life.
- The opening and closing sections -- the excerpts from stage, film, radio and TV -- display Groucho's most famous incarnation: the wielder of merciless non sequiturs and irreverently unsentimental quips. In this era of videotapes, laserdiscs and DVDs, the Marx Brothers films may be easy to see, but it is still nigh impossible to directly experience You Bet Your Life or the radio serial Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel, so excerpts from these non-filmic sources are especially welcome. (For readers wanting more than the snippets of the serial offered here, the complete scripts were made available in the gorgeously produced 1988 book Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel: The Marx Brothers' Lost Radio Show. ...
- My favorite section of The Essential Groucho is "Freelancing," which reprints Groucho's comic prose. ... Bader's definitive collection of Groucho prose, Groucho Marx and Other Short Stories and Tall Tales, but it was a delight to reread them in the context of Groucho's other incarnations. ... Groucho isn't as well-known as a prose humorist as he is as a comic performer and it's a shame. Perhaps this selection, presented in the context of Groucho's lifetime of achievements, will help redress the balance a bit.

- Groucho Marx and the Broadway Murders Amazon US HC Amazon Canada HC .
- Series: Groucho Marx # 3.
- In 1939 his film career may be tanking (wait till the debut of At the Circus), but Groucho Marx and his friend, writer Frank Denby, have solved murder mysteries. Because of his reputation as an amateur sleuth extraodinaire, Mobster Vince Salermo wants Groucho and Frank to investigate the gangland-like murder of Nick Santantorio. Groucho and Frank politely say no because they are both heading to Manhattan for different reasons. ... Groucho heads to Broadway to perform in the Mikado. ... Someone tries to kill Markham and only the fortunate insomnia of Groucho saves his life. However, Markham tells Groucho and Frank to mind their business, which the two nonprofessional detectives agree to do. ... The police lean towards Dian's spouse and only Frank and Groucho, with a little help from Jane, try to prove otherwise. GROUCHO MARX AND THE BROADWAY MURDERS is a humorous and irritating historical mystery. The story line is engaging, but the non-stop wisecracking from Groucho and imitated by Frank can become an irritant. ...
11. Meet Groucho
- www.grouchoworld.com
- Born Julius Henry Marx in 1890, Groucho was the third of five sons born to poor immigrant parents Sam and Minnie Marx. ...
- Straight from the streets of New York's upper Eastside, Groucho was thrust onstage at age 15 as one third of the singing Leroy Trio. Eventually, brothers Harpo, Chico, Gummo and Zeppo joined the act that began as the singing "Four Nightingales" and evolved into the world's funniest vaudeville act known as the Marx Brothers.
- After twenty years of touring their act all over the country, the Marx Brothers finally hit paydirt with a musical comedy called "I'll Say She Is. ... We've never seen anything like the Marx Brothers. " "I'll Say She Is" moved to Broadway in 1924 and was an instant sensation legitimizing the Marx Brothers as world class talents. Two more Broadway hits followed - "The Cocoanuts" and "Animal Crackers" introducing audiences to Groucho's most renowned incarnation "Captain Spalding, the African Explorer. ...
- In 1930, Groucho and his brothers moved to Hollywood and changed the face of film comedy forever. ... The Four Marx Brothers appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in1932.
- As a solo, Groucho launched a career on radio and television with his Emmy Award winning work as the host of the comedy quiz show "You Bet Your Life. ... Groucho was a major fixture in 1950's television with his "secret woid" and a duck that dropped from the sky to pay wacky contestants "an extra hundred dollars. ...
- In the late 1960's, a renewed interest in the anarchic hijinks of the Marx Brothers swept across the nation - particularly among college age students. Fortunately, Groucho Marx survived long enough to experience his renaissance. He made TV appearances, performed at Carnegie Hall at age 82 and received a special Academy Award in 1974 for the brilliant and unequalled achievements of the Marx Brothers.

13. Ron Goulart - Groucho Marx, Secret Agent
- murderexpress.bravepages.com
- It could be said that in this episode Groucho Marx operates as a Hollywood-style Scarlet Pimpernel, with a repertoire of outrageous puns covering the steely, daring life of a counterspy. But, as Groucho might retort, his cover is at the dry-cleaner, and, besides, Groucho is not one to hide his light under any bushel (even one of stuffed clams). ...
- His widow refuses to believe that her husband shot himself, and persuades Groucho and Frank to look further. ... Here is where Groucho proves his genius as a detective--he seizes on the clue that reveals the death to be murder.
- Groucho and Frank are attacked; Frank is shot at (but not hit); Groucho is hit (but not shot at; just knocked to the floor by the fleeing assailant). ...
- In a romp made delightful in spite of spies, murders, and occasional dire peril, Goulart uncannily resurrects the most garrulous Marx brother and his unique brand of patter. The Groucho Marx of these stories is the next best thing to the capering of the late comedian himself, and a happy gift to everyone who remembers him fondly as well as those meeting him for the first time. ...

16. Review | Groucho Marx, Private Eye
- www.januarymagazine.com
- Groucho Marx, Private Eye.
- Author Ron Goulart has had the audacity to take an icon of Western comedy -- Groucho Marx -- and put him to work as a sleuth. Can we believe that behind those bushy eyebrows, big nose, glasses, and greasepaint mustache is the cool, calculating mind of a master crime solver? That the late, great Groucho, whose movie roles took him from safari jacket to doctor's smock to golfer's tweeds, could just as easily have inhabited a detective's trademark trench coat and fedora?.
- I started reading Groucho Marx, Private Eye with misgivings, doubtful that its humor would be anywhere near the caliber of Marx Brothers film classics such as Duck Soup (1933) or A Night at the Opera (1935). ... This is not the ensemble Groucho, indulging in rapid-fire word play and wild slapstick with his brothers as they lay waste to drawing rooms, racetracks, and cruise ships. But this is the wisecracking, irrepressible Groucho, host of the 1950s TV game show You Bet Your Life, in which he pried into his guests' lives in much the style of a persistent gumshoe.
- Kaminsky's 1978 mystery You Bet Your Life was probably the first time Groucho Marx (along with his brothers Harpo and Chico) appeared in a comedic crime caper, but he didn't have his first solo outing until Goulart's 1998 book Groucho Marx, Master Detective. ...
- He has the fictional Groucho starring in a LA-based radio series (a job the real Groucho had mid-career, between his New York stage work and Hollywood films). As in Master Detective, this new book's narrator is Frank Denby, the radio show's scriptwriter and Groucho's partner in crime solving. ...
- "Not only is the game afoot," Groucho assures Frank as they embark on their case, "but my foot's a little gamy. ...
- You can almost see Sherlock Holmes recoiling with a grimace that would outdo Groucho's famed straight-woman, Margaret Dumont, at her most indignant.
- Groucho fans will enjoy a chance to see their man come to life in a very plausible role (one which has the authorization of the late comedian's estate). For mystery readers, the pleasant surprise of this book is not the Groucho character, but Goulart's neatly crafted plot. The first half of the book is thick with 1940s period characters -- a rich widow, a corrupt cop, Denby's beautiful girlfriend, the pompous pudding manufacturer who sponsors Groucho's radio program -- but by the second half you realize that Goulart has got quite a game afoot, indeed.
- Polly Pilgrim, the bratty teenaged starlet who sings on Groucho's show, asks him to investigate when her mom is arrested and charged in the murder of Dr. ... " Young Polly convinces Groucho that her mother, a star-turned-alcoholic, has been framed. In order to clear her name, Groucho and Denby must find the real murderer.

- www.who2.com
- GROUCHO MARX • Comedian.
- Julius "Groucho" Marx was the most famous of the Marx Brothers, a landmark comedy team of vaudeville and the movies. The Marx Brothers' witty, irreverent wordplay and clever physical gags made them some of the world's biggest movie stars during their heyday in the 1920s and 1930s. Groucho was the ringleader in the group's routines, cracking wise and waggling his eyebrows over his signature greasepaint moustache. His brothers included fellow stars Chico (Leonard Marx, 1886-1961) and Harpo (Adolph Marx, 1888-1964), plus two brothers who made more rare appearances: Gummo (Milton Marx, 1897-1977) and Zeppo (Herbert Marx, 1901-1979). The Marx Brothers' movies included Animal Crackers (1930), Duck Soup (1932) and A Night At the Opera (1935); often the actress Margaret Dumont served as a stuffy foil for their antics. Groucho became a solo success when he hosted the game show You Bet Your Life on radio and television from 1947-1961. ...
- Among those who wrote routines for the Marx Brothers were S. ... In his last years Groucho was guided by a secretary and companion, Erin Fleming, eventually leading to a legal battle with his family in which she was ousted as his guardian. ... Marx is no relation to philosopher Karl Marx. ...
