    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Many of the actors who played the Nazis were in fact German Jews who had escaped from Nazi Germany.
    • Goofs
      When Rick and Sam get on the train after standing in the rain, their coats are completely dry.
    • Quotes

      Rick: Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.

    • Alternate versions
      As late as 1974, the references to an extra-marital affair were banned in Ireland. The Irish cut got rid of two important sequences. First, after Ilsa tells Rick that she had left him after finding out that Viktor was still alive, the embraces and dialogue that followed were cut. Second, the emotional dialogue at the end of the film from Ilsa's line "You're saying that only to make me go" to Rick's line "What I've got to do, you haven't any part of". This led to Irish audiences' being bemused by the relationship between Rick and Ilsa, and often interpreting Rick's final speech beginning "I'm no good at being noble" as a reflection on the debilitating effects of war.

    HOW TO WATCH THIS MOVIE
    There are literally hundreds of comments about this movie on IMDB. Many of them exhort its greatness. I don't disagree with them.

    But I'd like to add a suggestion to those of you out there who haven't seen this film. I'd like to tell you HOW to watch it.

    The people who made this movie didn't think they were producing a masterpiece. Bergman left the shoot disgusted. The screenwriters were on salary for Warners, writing half a dozen movies a year, and this was just one more. Bogie was punching the clock in the middle of a workhorse career.

    So as an audience member, you can't sit down expecting gilded greatness.

    Don't have a Casablaca party. Don't watch it on your first date, hoping it will lend that "Romantic Touch." Don't watch it as part of your "I need to watch the Best 10 movies of all time" Film School project.

    Buy this movie on DVD. Have it at the ready. And then, one Friday night, when your plans fall through and you find it's 10:30pm and there's nothing on TV that's any good, open a six pack of beer, or pour yourself some wine, and watch this movie in a darkened room.

    The characters in Casablanca are absolutely devoid of sentimentalism. Every one of them sees the world without a hint of rose color in their lenses. As Rick says, "Three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this big old world." If you're in a mood where you understand what he's saying, watch this movie and it will transport you.

    There is no single movie that deserves to be called the best movie of all time. Because movies, when all is said and done, don't amount to a hill of beans. They are meant to entertain us, not for us to worship THEM.

    But no movie has ever known this fact like Casablanca.

    If you watch Casablance this way, with no expectations, with no "hype," you might catch 10 percent of its greatness on one viewing. And that will be enough to start you on your way.

    Happy viewing, kid.
