The Groucho Marx Papers, 1928-1971, include correspondence, clippings, and photocopies of eleven screenplays.
The correspondence, 1928-1971, is between Groucho and his long-time friend, Dr. Samuel Salinger, who saved these letters and arranged them chronologically. They are mainly letters from Groucho and contain information about the comedian's career, his family, and their health as well as both men's opinions on such topics as socialized medicine, World War II, and “the younger generation”. A few clippings concerning Groucho's career are attached to letters.
The screenplays, 1930-1951, are arranged chronologically according to release date, and are from such films as Animal Crackers, Duck Soup, and A Night at the Opera. The originals are at the Library of Congress.
