From 1932 to 1957, Groucho Marx starred in five nationally broadcast US radio series, with comedy quiz show You Bet Your Life the most popular. Likes its two predecessors 'Gratuitously Groucho' & 'Gregariously Groucho' this Raven release features Groucho on air in the last decade of the golden years of American network radio, in company with some of the greats of show business. This CD adds up to 75 minutes of marvelous mirth! First time on CD! Raven. 2002.

This review is from: Gleefully Groucho (Audio CD)

One of the great things about old timers like Groucho is they were bred before live audiences long before they did movies or radio. If you read up on the Marx Bros you will learn they were very intelligent (besides very talented) and I think because of this they bored easily.They were known to continually improvise in every medium they entertained in. Even though there was a script, I always feel Groucho merely used his as a fan. He always seemed (and still seems)fresh and spontanious. Well, he was always fresh,I just mean energetic.Buy this for home or the long commute home.Hooray for Cpt.Spalding!
