Dick Cavett and Groucho Marx (archival footage) with archival footage and interviews with Woody Allen, Rona Barrett, George Burns, Frank Buxton, Truman Capote, Merv Griffin, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx, Melinda Marx, Zeppo Marx, Phyllis Newman and Jack Paar.

"When writer-turned-comedian Dick Cavett became the host of his own talk show in 1968, his mentor, Groucho Marx, quickly became a frequent guest. Groucho's appearances on The Dick Cavett Show captured what Cavett calls 'the last of Groucho's greatness.' Cavett's early years as a writer and comedian coincided with a slowdown in Groucho's professional activity, and it was during this time that their friendship blossomed. In Groucho and Cavett, the three-time Emmy® Award-winner looks back at his relationship with the iconic comedian, sharing footage from Groucho's visits to his show and other rare recordings. In much the same way that Groucho's television quiz show, You Bet Your Life, had provided the perfect vehicle for him after his movie career ended, The Dick Cavett Show allowed Groucho to be Groucho one more time."--Container.
