Synopsis:
For 14 years that`s how Groucho Marx concluded his conversations with the 2,500 offbeat characters, regular folks and thoroughly unusual people who were contestants on the show. They sang, they danced, they chewed wood and they blew up inner tubes. But when George Fenneman invited them to "come in please, and meet Groucho Marx," they were immediately relegated to the role of second banana. Even the occasional celebrity guest was merely fodder for the one... the only... GROUCHO!

You Bet Your Life: The Best Episodes collects 18 classic episodes in their original, uncut glory. Restored from the archival film prints, they haven`t been seen this way in over 40 years. And the wood-chewers and other oddballs are joined by some special guests, like Edgar Bergen and his young daughter Candice; movie Tarzan Johnny Weissmuller; boxing great Joe Louis; Phyllis Diller, in her first television appearance; and Harpo Marx, in his only appearance on his brother`s show. Hilarious outtakes, a selection of vintage commercials and three rare, post-You Bet Your Life Groucho pilot films round out the collection.

So "Come in, please, and meet Groucho Marx."
