The 2020 Hungarian film Curtiz was about the making of Casablanca in 1942 starring  Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.  The director was Michael Curtiz, an immigrant film director from Hungary.    Michael Curtiz was a prolific director who made 180 films in his career.

The black and white film Curtiz, about him, is  fascinating.

The movie Casablanca had 11 Oscar nominations and won 3  Academy Awards  including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.

 

“As Time Goes By” is performed by Dooley Wilson who played Sam in the movie.  Sam is seated at the piano, and Ingrid Bergman says, “Play it Sam.”  (Not “Play it Again Sam”)

    I remember watching the film Casablanca. It was such a deep film, that I sometimes wish I could watch it again. I only remember certain images that stick out to me. Like the airplane that was to take off, and Humphrey Bogart.
