		In the taped introduction Cavett says it was, "perhaps the last edge of Groucho's prime," and Marx candidly holds forth on his brothers, his movies, his relationship with Margaret DuMont, and his less than admirable history as a husband.
		Cavett also made a lot of famous friends in his Greenwich Village stand-up days and the interviews with two of them, Allen and Bill Cosby, are unguarded portraits of their transition from club acts to household names.
		Cavett and Allen's friendship is based on charming geekiness -- a propensity for swapping classic one-liners and trying to outdo the other in self-effacement.

	DVD In My Pants - Review: The Dick Cavett Show: Hollywood Greats
		Dick Cavett’s interview style is something of a divisive subject among those who discuss, or are mildly interested, in these sorts of things.
		Cavett couldn’t rein in a guest if his life depended on it, but that’s only a problem when his guest is uninteresting.
		Cavett does his best to draw Brando out, but the subject does generally stay around Brando’s cause and his snubbing of the Academy in order to draw attention to that.
