Summary:

"This first ever comprehensive study of his work without his famous brothers reveals a Groucho Marx perhaps unfamiliar to the public. Driven to prove he was much more than just a comedian with a greasepaint mustache, Groucho always thought of himself as essentially a solo performer and strove for individual success in his professional life"-- Provided by publisher.
