Groucho Marx Meets T.S. Eliot written by Jeffrey Hatcher.

Groucho Marx and T.S. Eliot met once in 1964 over dinner in London. Groucho, who starred in Animal Crackers, Duck Soup, A Night at the Opera, and You Bet Your Life, was a pen pal with T.S. Eliot, the author of The Waste Land, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, The Cocktail Party, and Murder in the Cathedral.  Be a Rufus T. Firefly on the wall as they discuss poetry, vaudeville, war, wives, Gilbert and Sullivan, Shakespeare and Freud’s jokes, and their relation to the unconscious.

Groucho Marx Meets T.S. Eliot is directed by Michael Robins and stars Jim Cunningham as Groucho Marx and John Middleton as T. S. Eliot.
