Book Review -- Groucho Marx and Other Short Stories

Book Review -- Groucho Marx and Other Short Stories

Groucho Marx was one of the many vaudeville stars of his time – along with his three brothers Harpo, Chico, Zeppo (and in their stage days Gummo too). After the Marx brothers found solo projects to pursue, Groucho wrote letters, and guest columns for every trade magazine on the market from Variety to Saturday Evening Post.  
While Groucho was a master of wit on stage and screen, I cannot recommend this written collection enough. While Marx was not known for his written words, the series of stories, letters, and essays by Groucho fills anyone’s pallet with the smartest and most punctual comedy writing. Groucho’s talent and all-around silliness pours onto the page with the voice we all recognize from his on-screen humor.

Comment author: Claude EzzellComment text: Paul was one of the most manifest men I have ever met. He was a good friends with my Dad and always had an entertaining story for the occasion. One of my most favorite stories Paul told dated back to the late 60s or early 70s and it revolved around him killing a deer way out in the mountains. Naturally the deer ran down into a deep canyon and died. Knowing that it would take him forever to haul it out he devised an awesome plan. After preparing the deer he drove back to NAS Fallon and rustled up a SAR crew and they flew out and picked up the deer. Of course it was labeled as a training flight but what the hell in those days you could do that sort of thing. Rest in Peace my friend until we meet again!!Comment publication date: 4/11/24, 1:15 PMComment source: Obituary - LCDR Paul N PflimlinComment author: THughesComment text: So sad to hear.
