The film is a parody of the dating from the 1942 film Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. The Warner Brothers tried in vain to prevent the film's title. The result was a very interesting exchange of letters between Groucho and the Warner Brothers.

Reviews

  • "(...) The diffuse story that the cult film " Casablanca " can not be undamaged, the imagination of the Brothers is plenty of scope.

  • The comedian trio and Director Archie L. Mayo is because one of those turbulent comedies succeeded in their countless gags you want to continue to tell immediately - but they are beyond the narratability because even the dialogue jokes are inextricably linked with the three figures, and with her gesture with their experiences; they move at such a frenzied pace that is clear: they fear the moment of peace in which they would come to their senses. filmdienst 20/1977
