CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB

Casablanca, a 1942 American romantic drama, directed by Michael Curtiz, stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid. It's set during World War II, in Casablanca, where an American expatriate must choose between his love for a woman and helping her husband, a Czech resistance leader. The screenplay is based on an unproduced play called Everybody Comes to Rick's. The film's themes include love, sacrifice, and moral dilemmas. The movie is known for its memorable lines, iconic characters, and pervasive theme song, "As Time Goes By". It won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. It is often ranked among the greatest films in history.

CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

The screenplay for Casablanca was based on an unproduced play called Everybody Comes to Rick's, and the film rights were purchased for $20,000, the most anyone in Hollywood had ever paid for an unproduced play at that time. The project was then renamed Casablanca, apparently in imitation of the 1938 hit Algiers.

Despite being an A-list film with established stars, no one involved with Casablanca's production expected it to be anything special among the many pictures produced by Hollywood yearly. It was rushed into release to capitalize on publicity from the Allied invasion of North Africa.

The film's cast was notably international, with only three of the credited actors being born in the United States: Humphrey Bogart, Dooley Wilson, and Joy Page. Many of the actors were European exiles and refugees, who brought a sense of "understanding and desperation" to their roles.
