Full Marx.

In late August 2006, I got a set of eight Marx Brothers DVDs as a birthday gift from my son Ashu who works and lives in New Jersey. Watching them made me look for my copy of a book by Joe Adamson (Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Sometimes Zeppo). I had bought it years back in Delhi and absent-mindedly tucked it in one of my cabinets. Written with great wit and charm, it’s a wonderful narrative woven around the Brothers’ career on stage, screen, radio and television. Sample extracts: http://users.pandora.be/mx/adamson.htm and http://www.geocities.com/spazprez/cfaust.html. Read them and decide for yourself.
