Title: Is this entertaining? You bet your life!
Review: Dwan provides an affectionate and informative look behind the scenes at the making of Groucho's inimitable comedy quiz program, the only game show that is still eminently watchable half a century after it first aired.The details of production methodology will delight the most ardent Grouchophiles, but even casual fans of the Marxes in particular and TV comedy in general will laugh at the generous portions of comic dialogue from the show. Even more fascinating is Dwan's inclusion of some of the legendary dirty material that didn't make it to air, material that wouldn't shock a minister nowadays and that almost always has the saving graces of comic wit and verbal inventiveness; in other words, Groucho wasn't just dirty (and indeed, as Dwan points out, he deplored what his NY accent called "terlet" jokes).The secret word is "Dwan," and if you say it on Amazon, you'll get a fine and fun book.
