A collection of letters that Groucho Marx wrote to his daughter Miriam that reveal his deep concern in holding his family together through divorces and remarriages. Groucho never hesitated to dispense frank opinions about Miriam's boyfriends, schoolwork, family feuds, and life in general. Actor Frank Ferrante frequently portrays Groucho Marx.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
The famed Groucho Marx's daughter Miriam Marx Allen saved virtually every letter her father wrote to her between 1938 and 1967. The letters reveal a caring, level-headed family man constantly worried about money and career. Frank Ferrante as Groucho is outstanding, warm and witty. The problem with this audio presentation lies in the dull parade of uninterest-ing letters and equally dull anecdotes by Miriam Marx Allen. After a while, one truly stops caring about the problems of this father and daughter. This is a shame because boring is something Groucho Marx never ever was. M.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Excellent-. Frank Ferrante brings Groucho to life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love, Groucho (Audio Cassette)
Frank Ferrante brings Groucho to life as he reads letters written to Miriam (Groucho's only daughter). He brings a personal flavor to the letters that make you, the listener, feel as if you are listening to Groucho- himself. Groucho's love for his daughter through the many trials they shared shines through Ferrante's performance.
