I'm not sure who was the more unreliable narrator, Oskar in The Tin Drum or Groucho in this, but this was a fun and breezy time, nonetheless.

Good ole Groucho did not disappoint. He throws in a reference to Ernest Hemingway, thus this book goes onto the "Hemingway Ubiquitous Cameo" shelf tag. Hemingway might have been amused to learn that he ends up in at least half the books ever written...

A film director told Groucho not to do asides to the audience that broke the fourth wall as he had on stage. He did it anyway. This made me realize he not only broke the wall between actor and spectator, but shattered the illusion of the other nonsense behind him. This literally saves the film from itself, and its formulaic romance and flabby routines. If I'm in this hell, you are too. Groucho knew wtf he was doing.

Groucho and Charlie Chaplin hanging around at the brothels together in their early days. Groucho showing some remarkably enlightened views on repressed American attitudes to sexuality in this section.
