Title: The Essential Groucho : Writings by, for, and about Groucho Marx by Stefan Kanfer ISBN: 0-375-70213-X Publisher: Vintage Pub. Date: 13 June, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.33 (3 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Hardly Essential
Comment: This collection of movie dialogue (Only up to A Day at The Races) A few letters (Get The Groucho Letters, instead) and a few of Groucho's essays is haphazardly organized and only good for the new fan who might want to see what all the Groucho fanfare is about. This gets two stars from me only because I think it might get someone to check out the Marx brothers films. If you are familiar with their work this will add nothing new to your Marx collection.
Rating: 4
Summary: Pretty darn good
Comment: I bought this book because I didn't know anything about the Marx Brothers, and I wanted to get a feel for who they were offstage. (I just saw "Duck Soup" for the first time, and now I just HAVE to get all of their movies! Absolute Genius!)
I read the other review, and wondered, but this book did just fine in giving me a look at who these wonderful entertainers when they weren't performing (well, mainly Groucho). Plus it has some transcripts form the movies and his show "You bet your life" ! All in all, a really easy and fun read. Enjoy!

Summary: Save your money, buy Robert Bader's book instead
Comment: This book is like Richard Anobile's books but without the pictures. Not much effort/research went into the compilation of Groucho's writing and excerpts from films. Little, if anything, is new or hasn't been republished in the last 25 years. Much better is Robert Bader's compilation of Groucho's writing: Groucho Marx and Other Short Stories and Tall Tales
