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.
