I am a giant Groucho fan. Believe it or not, I think Jim Carrey occasionally comes close to Groucho's cynical and hilarious attitude. In The Mask, he does the dancing, the sarcasm, the wit, the humor in the Marx mode.
I think they are the Jack-in-the-Box antenna balls. It's a fast food restaurant in So Cal. Their food was so bad they had to give away gifts so you would buy it. My mom got a 8 piece set of glass mugs from them.
I remember as a boy watching Groucho wear that ridiculous golf hat for years and years. Then one day he started wearing a beret, which he wore for the final four or five years of his life.
Irving Thalberg, upon getting back to his office and finding naked Marx Brothers in his lobby waiting for a meeting: "Hi! When is the appointment?" (total pro)
Groucho: "If women are going to take alimony, they have no right for Women's Lib" "If they are going to have Women's lib, they ought to go to war." Brilliant and way ahead of his time! FEMINISM SUCKS!
And for all your rooting for "equality", if society could be dialed back pre-"lib" to a time where men made enough to support a household and women stayed home to raise their kids instead of handing them over to day care workers and babysitters, you'd be shocked at the number of women who could gladly give up the rat race to be stay-at-home moms, taking care of their babies themselves, raising large families of kids and tending to the home fires.
What really gets me about these interviews is that they were all real. Dick Cavett was a terrific interviewer and when he interviewed these show business giants he was honest with them. I watched interviews of this show spanning from Groucho Marx to Jimi Hendrix and they all share something in common. They were clean and truthful, as well as being a little funny. Today you got Jay Leno and other people who just do haste interviews. They feel fake, rushed and forced. They pale in comparison.
Marx was wrong, and puzzlingly so, about women serving in wars. Tens of thousands of women served in both world wars, on the Soviet side as combat soldiers in WW2, and across the board geographically in other just as vital fields - armaments and vehicle construction, agricultural workers (The famous "Land Girls" of Britain), medical staffers, command and control/radar crews etc.
Marcia Diehl he may have got technicalities incorrect but in spirit, what he was saying was correct. He was ahead of his time and marvellously blunt and direct.
Groucho was speaking about the draft in the US and women not being required to serve in the US military. It is very obtuse to think he was speaking about female military service in any place other than the US.
@@unowen-nh9ov I think you misunderstood Alans comment. In Europe, having a dry sense of humor means having an elegant witt, a little understated and sophisticated. Not spelled out. Something tells me, the term isen't perseived quite the same way in the US...?
Vintage Groucho! Loved him performing with his brothers! He was puffing away on that cigar! He was starting the truth about Thalberg! The audience laughed because Groucho, is funny!
Thanks for upload. Interesting interview. I would like to remark, it's amazing how culture has changed last 30 - 40 years. Man with a cigar on a show is unthinkable today.
Groucho, was such a professional, that his story of Irving and. Tipping Greta's hat is still iconic! A different era and time! Sometime, I wish for a piece of it! I always thought that Thalberg; was so handsome! Dick was an exceptional interviewer! ⭐🎬⭐
I understand what he's trying to say about the word "lady" though. "woman" sound more real and more sincere.... it makes sense considering how they use the word "lady" in those days (pre-80s)
I was brought up to believe lady was a form of respect.....elevating a woman to a high position of respect and care........I don't get how it could be anything else. hhummmmm.
Marcia Diehl that's not true. He was ahead of his time and actually was saying the same Thing as the women's' civil Rights movement were saying at the same time. The word "lady" implies many attributes which are misogynistic and not honest or truthful. He was certainly on the pulse of modern society.
Groucho worked with Margaret Dumont, greatest lady ever. Also totally lampooned her, as he did all things. And as with all things, Groucho is right, Dumont was a great woman.
Dick Cavett has stated many times that when he first went to Hollywood the only celebrity / star he wanted to meet was Groucho. The two of them became exceptionally close friends.
Why? He had a good run and had the priveledge of interviewing the most iconic ppl in american history! And their not around anymore, there is no one alive worth interviewing in the industry.
Its no different. This just shows how all the people these days who whine on and on about how perfect the “good old days” were and how terrible everything about the present is, are completely full of shit.
This was a long damn interview, and I remembered, a TV show in a 1-hour timeslot ran about 48 to 50 minutes total. The rest of the airtime was commercials. Today its rare for an hour long TV show to be more than 40 - 42 minutes of programming.
Julius Henry Marx, más conocido como Groucho Marx (Nueva York, 2 de octubre de 1890-Los Ángeles, 19 de agosto de 1977), fue un actor, humorista y escritor estadounidense, conocido principalmente por ser uno de los miembros de los hermanos Marx. Es considerado el cómico más influyente de todos los tiempos, siendo sus frases, a pesar del paso del tiempo, destacadas en la cultura pop por generaciones, incluso en la época actual. Falleció en Los Ángeles a causa de una neumonía. Poco antes de morir, la Academia de Hollywood le había concedido un Óscar honorífico, en reconocimiento a toda su carrera cinematográfica.
He was def a light in the darkness. Esply the note about Johnson and Nixon. I always say that Johnson and Nixon are two sides of the same coin. Cursed by their worry of their place in History -- great men. Paranoid, ruthless and great and visionaries. And both brought down by their ideologies and of course Viet Nam. (A country that since the end of World War I -- if not earlier) had been try-ing to be free of Europe. And how many other colonies as well.
Nixon was a lying con man his entire lifetime. Johnson retired from a position he knew he wasn't qualified for. Guess which one current president learned from? Hint? Roy Cohn.
So true about the focus on their legacy -- but that did give MLK leverage with LBJ where The Civil Rights Movement was concerned. In all fairness, I don't think LBJ would've worked to pass any of the historic legislation had he not truly believed in it. I never thought the historical narrative concerning Johnson's character and his CR legislation accomplishments was generous enough.
He said because we can get alimony. But nowadays, women pay alimony too, so that is no longer an excuse for women not to have any rights. I like Groucho, but he had an old world view about that. But I can also see where some of it goes too far. It should just be about equality. So, you are a failed comedian? Guess I am too, I wanted to do that when I was younger, but drugs and alcohol got in the way of me doing anything. I had NO confidence either. Hey though, you can always start that up. There are open mics all over.
+Boo Radley Groucho had been married and divorced 3 times when this interview was conducted, most likely he was paying alimony to one or more of those wives.
gmaureen Yeah, he probably wasn't too happy about that. I wouldn't want to pay money to my ex either. Unless we had children. Alimony gets ridiculous when it comes to those who are very wealthy. The amounts given are insane.
he sure was outspoken! didn't care what anyone thought! he sure laid out some zingers here! LOL if he said stuff like this today, he'd be cancelled before he got back home from the interview!
Boy that first part of the interview really slaps you in the face with a reminder of the generation Groucho was from. Ah well, he still was a fantastic artist and never caused any oppression. He just had *some* shitty philosophical opinions.
Michael Whisman really? That's amazing! Tell Me More? Where were you? What happened? What did she say? Was she as enigmatic as they say? Or very ordinary? Or both?
to bad groucho couldnt contain himself...he offers a glimpse here of his memories of Hollywood golden age...he is a fine story teller because he uses always descriptive words..."we walked into his office"?...NO "we walked into his office, it was a palatial office with a huge fire place and huge logs"....as an example
Yes. It’s the nervous laugh oh let’s laugh because he’s a funny guy even though he’s making a great point. No one wants to watch bad news before bedtime.
The stars will protest if it's beneficial to their careers and their celebrity. Look at the Kardashians. They spent roughly 16 million on a wedding for a marriage that has lasted 72 days. Is this publicity? Certainly. It's all about THEM. Stars do very little these days unless it's directly related to themselves in some way.
I have watched all the links to this episode with Groucho and his yellow shirt..while I love his movies and his TV show...I find him VERY RUDE especially to Truman Capote...and Mr. Capote kept his cool.
Groucho suffered his entire life from Depression and as a result, was a horrible husband. On stage he was brilliant, but off he was a very angry and depressed guy - go figure...
ebsen raptzski kind of funny that you chose to just spout a word and didn’t elaborate. It’s almost like you’re too scared to, as if you aren’t confident enough in the validity of your opinion here....
You knew him for how long? As Fran Lebowitz puts it, "Depression is how you know you're alive". As this clip proves, very angry and depressed guy was smarter than you & ur typing - go figure... Oh, & "Depression" was the '30's.
@@unowen-nh9ov - Why would you be so defensive? Its not an attack, its just the facts. He was a complex person and a big-time womanizer - It was a different time - Maybe the Liberals will knock down Groucho's statues next ...
@@ssnoc Frenchy and Minnie Marx's 1st son died at 7 months. When Leonard (Chico) was born, they treasured and idealized him, he could do no wrong, they spoiled him, he was all ego, gambler, womanizer. Arthur (Harpo) grew up in Chico's shadow, shy and insecure. But Minnie claimed he had great talent, at least. Julius (Groucho) was plain, according to Minnie, and would never amount to much. Groucho worked very hard at school, trying to make Minnie proud of him. He resented his older brother's choices and cultivated his intellect, but never got his mother's attention the way he needed. This is what prevented him from forming healthy relationships with women. That and the fact that he lost his virginity and caught the clap at the same time. The story of their upbringing is a case study in personality development. Herbert (Zeppo) was a success at everything he ever did. Boxing, bodybuilding, auto mechanics, singing, acting, comedic timing, talent agent, dress manufacturing......... he made a fortune off a new aircraft oil line clamp he invented. The Marx boys are a story worth studying.
Well that was a waste of 9 minutes! He only mentions Garbo at the last minute for any Garbo fans; just to warn you not to sit thru 8 minutes of his waffling on about nothing!
Okay, knock it off with the political bullshit. Doesn't anyone notice that Groucho is taking liberties with the truth here? He says that the Marx Brothers came directly from Broadway to Irving Thalberg at MGM. He's conveniently leaving out the fact that the brothers made five pictures for Paramount before they even met Thalberg. Either that, or he was senile.
He wanted to feed his ego and it works on and with people willing to do it and * fans* who like to put their heroes on a pedestal...He WAS talented though ...The “ Alimony” and “ women’s lib” comments are telling ...
Back in my day, they called a man a man and they didn’t call him a guy. A man meant something, not a guy. And back in my day, they called a young person a child and not a kid. Now child means something. I resent that they call them kids. Kids doesn’t mean anything. Do you understand the frequency with which they call them kids? I my day, orange juice was made with oranges.
u.n. owen I assumed that you’d enjoy the senile, irrelevant ramblings of an old man. You are, after all, watching an interview with the geriatric Groucho Marx!
As rambling as his stories are, you can't really expect that what he's saying is accurate. He's 81 and trying to run through a life of experience in a half hour. It's kind of expected that he can't remember everything in the right order.
Goucho said it like it was. Awesome how he was very frank. Now when people talk like that in any interview there would be an uproar. Too many liberals.
"Liberal" comes from the Latin 'Libra ' zodiac sign of the balance scales, referring to an open mind balanced by healthy skepticism. How the hell did that ever become an insult ? People who use liberal as an insult are just plain ignorant of what they are saying. I think they are trying to say 'radical ' as being unbalanced in the radical direction, as opposed to unbalanced in the conservative direction. A pretty ineffective way of making 'conservative ' seem balanced. Might fool some morons into voting for a radical fascist, however, if the fascist claims to be 'conservative ' often enough. Never a shortage of morons, you know.
David James no he wasn't. He just had a very cool and suave way of speaking, which I love. He was very attractive and sexy in a boyish way, also. These days interviewers speak way too quickly at machine-gun speed and people generally speak too quickly because they're neurotic and self-absorbed. Give me the slow, mellifluous tones of Cavett and Groucho any day over the screeching, steamrolling squwaking of the modern day late night TV hosts and presenters.
@@unowen-nh9ov Forgetting something and trailing off is thoughtful? A lot of stoners are articulate. I'm not attacking his intelligence or smooth-ness, but his seeming inebriation. Just seems odd for a talk show host, as he seems out of it.
Liberals like Nixon? And how many fingers have we had in how many pies since Obamessiah took office? Did Clinton keep our military out of conflicts? I'm pretty moderate but LMAO @ this blinders-on gibberish.
Nobody was interested in the "love story" in A Night at the Opera... Thalberg is so overrated. Most of all by Groucho. The pictures did go downhill after he died, they acted as if they lost their mentor.
For you to say that just shows what an idiot you are. Watch his movies. His sense of humor is always on point. Mostly sarcastic and always for the laugh. He was truly a brilliant guy.
Well I take back what I said if you were talking about Cavett being awful. From what I remember he was a hollywood fan that somehow got into the business of meeting them. He wasnt my favorite interviewer. I think you edited your comment which sounded like you thought Groucho was awful and unlikeable.
P.s. I really enjoy just looking at the pages of people I find in the comments who don't enjoy people/art/things that I enjoy and seeing nothing I enjoy......well I suppose we do have Groucho : 0 )

This is a real interview, in depth and relaxed. Too bad this isn't done on television anymore.
I do this type of interview . Watch host Paul Stefan on TV Free Baltimore our channel on RUclips.
@@jamesklima771 You don't interview Groucho.
Nowadays it's influencers plugging product.
Yep. No time for intellectual conversations these days, just simple minded hate and self absorbed folly.

It's great that Dick Cavet had such a show interviewing these Hollywood stars.
No one will come again like Groucho and the Marx brothers , RIP we don’t forget you
I am a giant Groucho fan. Believe it or not, I think Jim Carrey occasionally comes close to Groucho's cynical and hilarious attitude. In The Mask, he does the dancing, the sarcasm, the wit, the humor in the Marx mode.
Thalberg and Groucho both got as close to genius as anyone in movies ever did.
It was great cause Cavitt let his guest talk…no interrupting them..
Groucho was a unique treasure. Just an American icon. Unmatched wit.
Who read Classical Greek plays and books.
it takes a great man to discuss heavy topics like war and politics while wearing that hat.
I think they are the Jack-in-the-Box antenna balls. It's a fast food restaurant in So Cal. Their food was so bad they had to give away gifts so you would buy it. My mom got a 8 piece set of glass mugs from them.

Brilliant and way ahead of his time!

Groucho being 'flleeced' of money by his secretary as he got into old age - those days are still hereeeeeeeeeeee.
Could you guys just sit and listen to those stories all day?? He must’ve known everyone!!!

I think Groucho Marx is the only man Garbo could have been happy with. Like Anne Bancroft and Mel Brooks.
I wish he asked Groucho why he didn't like women's lib... just out of interest in historical opinion.
He said because we can get alimony. But nowadays, women pay alimony too, so that is no longer an excuse for women not to have any rights. I like Groucho, but he had an old world view about that. But I can also see where some of it goes too far. It should just be about equality.

The laughter from the audience is misplaced at times. Not sure what they're laughing at.
Humor changes over time.
They’re predisposed to laugh at Groucho, so notorious was his wit that his sense of timing alone could trigger laughs even when discussing the news.

He's conveniently leaving out the fact that the brothers made five pictures for Paramount before they even met Thalberg. Either that, or he was senile.
bullshit
Yep....he was definitely starting to lose his cookies on this interview.
He wanted to feed his ego and it works on and with people willing to do it and * fans* who like to put their heroes on a pedestal...He WAS talented though ...The “ Alimony” and “ women’s lib” comments are telling ...
@@marciadiehl5733 he also said it was cold in California.
Back in my day, they called a man a man and they didn’t call him a guy. A man meant something, not a guy. And back in my day, they called a young person a child and not a kid. Now child means something. I resent that they call them kids. Kids doesn’t mean anything. Do you understand the frequency with which they call them kids? I my day, orange juice was made with oranges.
When was your "day," 1880? Guy and kid have been common usage for over 100 years.
What page do you think you're on?
(Past) Time for your meds.
Again.
u.n. owen I assumed that you’d enjoy the senile, irrelevant ramblings of an old man. You are, after all, watching an interview with the geriatric Groucho Marx!
As rambling as his stories are, you can't really expect that what he's saying is accurate. He's 81 and trying to run through a life of experience in a half hour. It's kind of expected that he can't remember everything in the right order.
oh STFU
Rambling?! Groucho still brilliant.
I am a Marxist of the Groucho variety.
I'm a Marxist Lennonist.
show dont exist any more
Goucho said it like it was. Awesome how he was very frank. Now when people talk like that in any interview there would be an uproar. Too many liberals.
Be quiet you effing fool.
@@Scorchy666 You stfu Mr.666!🤮💩🤣👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
What is your definition of liberal? What could be more liberal than frankly speaking one's mind? 🤔 There're liberals and "liberals" after all.
"Liberal" comes from the Latin 'Libra ' zodiac sign of the balance scales, referring to an open mind balanced by healthy skepticism. How the hell did that ever become an insult ? People who use liberal as an insult are just plain ignorant of what they are saying. I think they are trying to say 'radical ' as being unbalanced in the radical direction, as opposed to unbalanced in the conservative direction. A pretty ineffective way of making 'conservative ' seem balanced. Might fool some morons into voting for a radical fascist, however, if the fascist claims to be 'conservative ' often enough. Never a shortage of morons, you know.
wow they both have very sexy black dress socks on !
Help! I am not a native speaker. What does Groucho say when he realizes it's Garbo? He starts with "I thought ..."
Bernd Wahlbrinck "I'm terribly sorry, I thought you were a fellow I know from Kansas City".
@LaSerpentaCanta bs
A woman means something, or at least it used to. Today our own president doesn't know what a woman is.
Nixon ended the war in Vietnam.
Dick Cavett always seems stoned. He seems a nice guy, but kinda slow and vacant. He also forgets things he was going to say.
David James no he wasn't. He just had a very cool and suave way of speaking, which I love. He was very attractive and sexy in a boyish way, also. These days interviewers speak way too quickly at machine-gun speed and people generally speak too quickly because they're neurotic and self-absorbed. Give me the slow, mellifluous tones of Cavett and Groucho any day over the screeching, steamrolling squwaking of the modern day late night TV hosts and presenters.
Yes, thoughtful + articulate="stoned".
@@unowen-nh9ov Forgetting something and trailing off is thoughtful? A lot of stoners are articulate. I'm not attacking his intelligence or smooth-ness, but his seeming inebriation. Just seems odd for a talk show host, as he seems out of it.
Cavett suffers from major depression.
Liberals like Nixon? And how many fingers have we had in how many pies since Obamessiah took office? Did Clinton keep our military out of conflicts?
I'm pretty moderate but LMAO @ this blinders-on gibberish.
Groucho wouldn't even have heard of the individuals you're slandering, speaking of moderate blinders-on gibberish.
gilbert gottfried
has nothing to do with this page.
@@unowen-nh9ov google "gilbert gottfried groucho"
Well, he wasn't right about everything.
Nobody was interested in the "love story" in A Night at the Opera... Thalberg is so overrated. Most of all by Groucho. The pictures did go downhill after he died, they acted as if they lost their mentor.
Because they did.
Cavett is just awful. Unlikable.
For you to say that just shows what an idiot you are. Watch his movies. His sense of humor is always on point. Mostly sarcastic and always for the laugh. He was truly a brilliant guy.
Antone is probably a howard stern fan...
Well I take back what I said if you were talking about Cavett being awful. From what I remember he was a hollywood fan that somehow got into the business of meeting them. He wasnt my favorite interviewer. I think you edited your comment which sounded like you thought Groucho was awful and unlikeable.
Dude was cool enough to treat true artists with respect. That makes him cool in my book.
P.s. I really enjoy just looking at the pages of people I find in the comments who don't enjoy people/art/things that I enjoy and seeing nothing I enjoy......well I suppose we do have Groucho : 0 )
Matt Walsh in the chat???
