Today is part one, of four, of an article about Groucho Marx, on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of his death. If you don't know who Groucho Marx is, he is the inspiration for what, in the U.S., we call the "funny nose and glasses". He may not be in movies or on TV any more, but he is still on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ALYkBIF-4.
