Captivating autobiography of the comedian and film star famed as a master of wit. Groucho's rapid-fire delivery of innuendo-laden patter earned him many admirers.

His distinctive appearance, carried over from his days in vaudeville, included quirks such as an exaggerated stooped posture, glasses, cigars, and a thick greasepaint mustache and eyebrows. This book is profusely illustrated with numerous b/w photographic reproductions. Upper spine of wrappers slightly rubbed. Minor closed tears and creasing along edges. Previous owner's inscription on half-title page. Wraps in overall good-, binding and interior in good to very good condition. g. Item #31236
