To Marx Brothers fans who have yet to read this book: Put it off as long as you can, because once you are finished, you will wish you could read it again for the first time. Harpo's life was interesting in itself, but it also frequently intersected with the lives of other fascinating people, most notably his own brothers and drama critic Alexander Woolcott. Marx also was part of the legendary Algonquin Round Table; he's got plenty to say about that. Wait'll you hear about what it means to "throw a Gookie." You'll never be able to watch a Marx Brothers movie again without looking for the Gookie!

Book Description
'There is a character who goes by the same name I do...
He wears a ratty red wig and a shredded raincoat. He can't talk but he makes faces, honks a horn, whistles, blows bubbles, ogles and leaps after blondes... I don't begrudge him anything because he started out with no talent at all' Groucho Marx
The Marx Brothers will remain immortal for as long as comedy and cinema are debated; while Groucho made witty gags and one-liners, Harpo provided the lunatic visuals to accompany them. Harpo Speaks! takes us on an energetic caper through Harpo's life, drawing on rich memories of boyhood; meeting with everyone ranging from gangsters to Edward VIII; gambling; partying and a golden age of Variety, Broadway and the cinema. Renouned as the silent man on screen, Harpo Speaks! provides a unique insight into an entertainment legend in his own words. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
