In this Marx Brothers film, Ronald Kornblow (Groucho Marx) takes over as the manager of a luxurious hotel in Casablanca, in the aftermath of World War II. After discovering that both of his predecessors had been murdered, Kornblow begins to fear for his safety -- especially when Nazi Count Pfefferman (Sig Ruman) tries to take over Kornblow's job in a bid to get his hands on valuable items that were stashed in the hotel by the Nazis at the tail end of the war.

A Night in Casablanca has its moments--when it works, it works--but its a far cry from their best work at Paramount or MGM.

Rated: 3/5

The slapstick comedy antics and string of relentless Groucho one-liners seemed more tired than subversively funny.

Rated: B-

Point some of that blame at the cumbersome screenplay and lackluster director Archie Mayo, a.k.a. 'that fat idiot' to Groucho, who said Mayo 'emasculated' the picture.

Made well after the Marx Bros prime (they came out of retirement to do it), this is the boys going through their paces from memory. A few great bits, but they don't add up to a film

This definitely isn't the Marx Brothers best film nor is it their worst. The jokes still work after 75 years and the antics of Groucho, Chico and Harpo are classic. Sadly no one of Margaret DuMont's stature to play as Groucho's rich object of derisive love but hey, its the Marx Brothers - funny, friendly, musical and brings back happy memories of happier times.

All these so called snooty critics are talentless, bitter dorks. This movie is awesome. No, it's not a better known Marx Bros. movie, but it's funny, a classic and embodies their inimitable sense of humor and talent. #sadcritics
