The classical and well-loved romantic melodrama Casablanca (1942), still on the top-ten lists of movies, is a masterful account of two men vying for the love of one woman in a love triangle. The story of political espionage and romantic backdrop of war conflict between democracy and totalitarianism. [The date given for the film is often given as 1942 and 1943. This is because its first was limited in 1942, but the movie does not play nationally, or in Los Angeles until 1943.]

With a rich atmosphere and smoke, propaganda anti-Nazi, Max Steiner score great music, suspense, characters unforgettable (supposedly 34 nationalities are included in its cast) and lines of memorable dialogue (eg, "Here's lookin 'at you, children, and misrepresentation of the city "Play It Again, Sam"), it is one of the most popular, magical (and flawless) films of all time - focused on themes of love lost, honor and duty, self-sacrifice and romance within a chaotic world.

Play It Again Woody Allen, Sam (1972) reverential tribute to the film, like the movies less Cabo Blanco (1981) and Barb Wire (1996), and Bugs Bunny animated short Carrotblanca (1995). The line "Play it again, Sam" appeared in the Marx Brothers' A Night in Casablanca (1946). References to films or videos have been used in Play It Again, Sam (1972), Brazil (1985), My Stepmother Is an Alien (1988) and When Harry Met Sally (1989).

Directed by the talented Michael Curtiz Hungarian accents and shot almost entirely on studio sets, the film moves quickly through surprisingly well-constructed plot, even if the script was written day by day as the filming progressed and we No one knows how the film would end - who would use the two exit visas? [Would Ilsa, Rick's lover from a past romance in Paris, go with him or with the permission of her husband, Victor, head of the underground resistance movement?] And three weeks after filming finished, the producer Hal Wallis contributed the film celebrates the final line - delivered on a fog shrouded the runway.

The sentimental story, originally structured as a set piece was based on an unproduced play called everybody comes to Rick's by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison - original title of the film. His scenario of collaboration has been mainly the result of the efforts of Julius J. Epstein and Philip G. and Howard Koch. In all, six script writers of the piece, and with models of Algiers (1938) and Only Angels Have Wings (1939) followed, they have transformed this classic romantic tale in essence that almost all samples film genres.

Except for the sequence of the airport of departure, the entire movie studio directed was shot in a Warner Bros. Hollywood / Burbank studio. 40 Many other stars were considered for principal roles: Hedy Lamarr, Ann Sheridan, French actress Michele Morgan, and George Raft.
