**Groucho Marx** (pseudonym of Julius Henry Marx, 1890-1977) was a legendary American actor and comedian, a central figure of the Marx Brothers. His film career peaked in the 1930s, where he established himself as a master of verbal comedy.

Among the most iconic Marx Brothers films are masterpieces such as *Duck Soup* (1933), often considered their most anarchic work, and commercial successes like *A Night at the Opera* (1935) and *A Day at the Races* (1937).

Groucho was famous for his fast-paced delivery, wordplay, logical absurdities, and witty insults. His typical roles were figures of authority – presidents, professors, or doctors – which he subverted with his irreverent humor. His distinctive style included a cigar, painted-on mustache, glasses, and a stooped walk, symbols of a unique and subversive comedic genius.
