Eliot and Groucho, An Unlikely Pair
One guesses that Groucho Marx, while always witty, was more of an intellectual than we gave him credit for, while T. S. Eliot, a stickler for perfection in his poetry and a fastidious literary critic is evidently not as straitlaced and stiff as we might picture him to be.
Both are men of letters!
