Marx, Groucho with Richard J. Anobile: The Marx Brothers Scrapbook
(Category: Books by the Marx Brothers)
"Quite mean-spirited, and seldom funny, but the photos and memorabilia are invaluable." (Wayne Wong) / "Seems pretty mean
spirited, and while it's got a wealth of information, much of it shows an
elderly, angry Groucho." (Jeff Kyle) / "Transcripts of several interviews with Groucho,
along with several others, including Gummo, Zeppo, Harpo's widow Susan, Jack Benny, and a number of others who knew and worked with the team; plus
photos and other materials that
cannot be found elsewhere, much of it from Groucho's personal collection. Groucho sued Anobile to stop publication when he realized that he intended to use the transcripts verbatim - dirty words, possibly libelous stories, and all. The book is therefore brutally frank and sometimes distasteful, and in some places poorly researched, but I consider it valuable if only for revealing some of the real names behind many oft-told, exaggerated or fictionalized Marx
stories." (Robert Rose)
