Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to The Marx Brothers biographer Joe Adamson, Harpo Marx was offered $50,000 to utter the single word "Murder!" in this film, presumably to add publicity value to the film by having him speak for the only time on-screen. Harpo declined the offer and never spoke publicly until a concert one year before his death. As he told reporters at the time: "I've spent 25 years creating the illusion that I can't talk. No matter what you write, they won't believe it's me talking. They'll think you made it up."
- GoofsWhen Chico is playing the piano with the orchestra, he gestures with his baton twice before throwing it at the musicians. However the trumpeter on the left anticipates him throwing the baton and can be seen flinching on the first two gestures.
- Quotes
Ronald Kornblow: From now on the essence of this hotel will be speed. If a customer askes you for a three-minute egg, give it to him in two minutes. If he askes you for a two-minute egg, give it to him in one minute. If he askes you for a one-minute egg, give him the chicken and let him work it out for himself!
- Alternate versionsThe first few seconds - the Approved code - are missing from some prints (including video prints). The code is on a title screen. The prints without the code fade in when the credits begin to run.

Featured review
There are two kinds of people in this world: People who love the Marx Brothers, and stupid people. "A Night in Casablanca", however, should be more for people who are already fans - it's certainly not the Marx Brothers' best work. However, it is very watchable, and much better than some of their earlier work with MGM. If "A Night at the Opera" is their last great film, then "A Night in Casablanca" is their last good film. A bunch of good lines here. Not bad, check it out!
