A Night in Casablanca

In A Night in Casablanca, Groucho uses many aspects of SOAPST. Groucho is annoyed with the Warner Brothers because they denied him of naming his movie A Night in Casablanca because there is already a movie named Casablanca. Groucho wrote this letter in 1947 to the Warner Brothers. The intended audience would the Warner Brothers of course but the people of the world have obviously seen this speech. Groucho was simply informing the Warner Brothers about his feelings about their decision towards his movie title. He feels that the Warner Brothers cannot take possession over that name. Also like the name “brothers”. He is obviously angry about it. Groucho has a very sarcastic tone during this speech. He talks about other brothers and how the Warner Brothers are not the only brothers in the world. He also gets personal and aggressive when he says their names, Jack and Harry. He also includes humor aspects in it as well. He was aggressive in the beginning of the speech but then gets a little friendly afterwards. It has been said that Groucho wrote this speech as a publicity stunt to attract people. It also said that there is no actual proof whether or not the Warner Brothers actually did object the Marx Brothers from the title of the movie.
