Fantastic! And the book came SIGNED by the author, Groucho's late son Arthur Marx. It was also signed by the greatest living interpreter of Grougho, Frank Ferrante. Couldn't be better!

A beautiful pictorial journey of my favorite comedian

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2001

Verified Purchase

Initially the quality of the photos is striking. Then you look at the subject - a man who brings joy through his art of comedy - and some of the most emotionally moving images of Groucho emerge. And some gorgeous photos of the rest of the brothers also.
What fans of a dead artist always encounter is the lack of anything "new" out there. This fills a gap. I have been a Marx fan since my youth and have found the expenditure on this book, and the wait, worth it. The best picture book on the Marx brothers to date.

His quick and barbed wit spared no one. What a brilliant and self-taught brain! These photos and their accompanying text make you wish he were still with us.

I still can't believe it! I'm a huge Marx Bros. fan and I have all the books written by them and about them. I missed this so I bought it online at a very good price (16 euros), it arrived today, it'b beautiful and on the first page, inside, it has autographs of Arthur Marx and Frank Ferrante! I almost cried when I saw this! It makes it even more precious to me!
