Casablanca – 1942
Image Credit: Click on Image
Casablanca is a 1942 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid. Filmed and set during World War II, it focuses on an American expatriate (Bogart) who must choose between his love for a woman (Bergman) and helping her husband (Henreid), a Czechoslovak resistance leader, escape from the Vichy-controlled city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Germans. The screenplay is based on Everybody Comes to Rick’s, an unproduced stage play by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison. The supporting cast features Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Dooley Wilson.
The entire picture was shot in the studio except for the sequence showing Strasser’s arrival and close-ups of the Lockheed Electra (filmed at Van Nuys Airport) and a few short clips of stock footage views of Paris. The street used for the exterior shots had recently been built for another film, The Desert Song, and redressed for the Paris flashbacks. Source: Wikipedia

Have heard about it, but have not watched it.
-Soma
It’s a classic. I loved this movie. 🙂
Mama has seen this about four or five times and LOVED it. Such a classic. Thank you for the overview.
I’ve watched it many times too. Love this movie. You’re welcome for the overview. 🙂
What a beautiful movie! I love the actors.
Thank you for this post, dear Sandee!
Hugs and Happy WW! A fine week ahead!❤️😘

One of my all time favorite movies………!!
Hugs, Pam
One of my all time favorite movies too. Hugs to you and scritches to Teddy. 🙂
I’ve seen clips from this movie but never the whole thing.
It’s a great movie. You’ll like it. 🙂
This is a great film unforgettable 🙂
Have a casablancatastic week Sandee and thanks for hosting as always 👍
It is unforgettable. I loved it. 🙂
I rarely watch the classics and I know that I should.
This one was a favorite of mine. Have a woof woof day, Duke. My best to your mom. 🙂
Granny has seen this movie in the sixties, when she still was a little girl. She loved it and has to see it again, after more than 60 years. Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead to you, dear Sandee and the kitties too🐾😽💞
It’s worth the watch indeed. I’ve seen it more than once and I hope to see it again. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
it has been around for all of my many years and I had never watched it until 2 years ago, I watched it just to see why it has been so loved. I still don’t know. I have seen bits and pieces of it over the years because it is an all time favorite of so many people.
You either like it or you don’t. It had a powerful message. Scritches to Beau. 🙂
Such a wonderful and famous film. It was a real film. The big ones these days are nothing like the ones from the old days.
I agree with your assessment. Such a classic. 🙂
What a superb choice, Sandee. I love this movie. Happy Wednesday! Hugs!
I love this movie too. Happy Wednesday, my friend. Hugs back. 🙂
That’s a classic, for sure. How fascinating that so much of it was shot in the studio!
Have a wonderful Wednesday, my friend!
I always love to see where they were filmed. Sometimes it’s where you never dreamed it would be. You have a wonderful Wednesday too, my friend. 🙂
Ah, classic old Hollywood! I’ve had the pleasure of watching it a couple of times. Little wonder it’s iconic. I love ‘As Time Goes By’ and used to play it on the piano when I was younger. Thanks for the memories.
It’s a classic indeed. I can watch this movie over and over. Happy Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to Dani. 🙂
Love that movie!
That makes two of us. Scritches to all the precious kitties. 🙂
I have never seen this. I am going to order it up at the library. Thanks for hosting. Have a great day. XO
I think you will love this movie, Ellen. Scritches to the kitties. XO 🙂
A classic in so many ways.
I agree with you. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
One of my favourites.
Mine too. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Mom just watched that again recently.
I need to watch it again. I love this classic. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
I loved that movie, and it’s been years. Perhaps time to see it again. Alana ramblinwitham
I’m going to watch it again. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
I love classic movies, and this is one of my favorites.
It’s one of my favorites too. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Hi Sandee, thank you for being here. I love old black and white movies. This one was such a classic. Thanks for always being here for everyone. I had a scary weekend with my sweetheart so I am off the charts mixed up! I did post Happy Tuesday ay my other blog and Wordless Wednesday at PHAMILYBLOG. It’s been a rough start to September but not quite as awful as August. I hope you are having a wonderful mid week. Take care.
Love and hugs to you and yours my friend. I know you’ve had some awful scares. You and yours are always in my thoughts and prayers. Love you. 🙂
I managed to find a copy before I did my tour around Morocco which started and ended in Casablanca. The film was wonderful, the city, a bit underwhelming!
I had no idea the city was underwhelming. I did love the movie. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂
Thank you Sandee. I have heard a great deal of good things about this movie, but I have never watched it. Perhaps its time. Thanks for the introduction in a great classic of film. Have a lovely Wednesday!
It’s worth the watch. It’s a classic. You have a lovely Wednesday and rest of the week, Suzette. 🙂
Thank you Sandee! And same to you!
Loved Bogard and Bergman
Thanks, Sandee, for hosting and may you have an awesome day
My entries this week are numbered #43+44
Hope you will join/share M-Sat at https://esmesalon.com/tag/wordlesswednesday/
I loved them too. What a spark they had in this film. Happy Wordless Wednesday, my friend. 🙂
I love the old B&W movies where almost everything was shot on a sound stage. They often resemble more of a play than a motion picture.
It was a great movie. I’m going to watch it again. Happy Wordless Wednesday, my friend. 🙂
I first watched it in a film class in college and it has grown on me over the years. Those movies are so very classic.
I agree that they are classics. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Patrick. 🙂
Here’s looking at you kid!
Well said, Cloudia. Scritches to Pixie. 🙂
Mom says that was a wonderful movie with an outstanding cast. Thanks for the background.
Woos – Misty and Timber
Your mom is right about this. Scritches all around. 🙂
I have heard quotes from this movie, and people rave about it, but I’ve never seen it.
Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! <3
It’s a classic. Happy rest of the week, Barbara. 🙂
I’ve only seen clips of this one, but I’d like to see this movie. I love classics. Have a great Wednesday!
You would love this movie. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
One of the all time classics. I didn’t realise it had been almost entirely filmed in the studio.
I didn’t know that either. What a classic movie this is. 🙂
It’s a classic, for sure. 😀 Be well, my dear.
I agree with you. Be well, too. Hugs. 🙂
Movie factoid: The oft quoted phrase, “Play it again, Sam,” was never in this movie.
True! 🙂
You’re so smart. Love this factoid. 🙂
A classic and a keeper! 💖 It’s part of our home movie library and we’ve seen it multiple times. Excellent choice, Sandee! Have a lovely rest of the week.
It’s a movie that belongs in our movie library. Happy day and rest of the week, Debbie. 🙂
Fabulous movie. I pray you and Mr. Zane have a blessed rest of your week, please pass some scritches to Lil’ Bit and Squeaker.
It is a fabulous movie. You and Mr. Sweetie have a blessed rest of the week, too. The kitties thank you for the scritches. 🙂
A timeless classic!
Bogart and Bergman’s chemistry remains iconic!
Happy Thursday, Sandee!
They did have the chemistry. Happy Thursday and rest of the week, Veronica. 🙂
Another fabulous classic, Sandee! LOVE it!
I remember seeing this movie as a little girl. Loved it then and love it now. Hugs to you and scritches to the pups. 🙂
Dear Sandee, we want to thank you for stopping by our bloggie to celebrate our 2nd Gotcha Day with us🎉Double Pawkisses for a happy weekend🐾😽💞
I love your boys and I love you too. 🙂
What a movie, they don’t make them like that any more! Wishing mew a totally terrific weekend, and thank mew for hosting!
Love to you all. 🙂
confession, I have never seen Casablanca. Okay, shut your mouth, I know it dropped open when you read that, just like mine did when my grandsons told me they have never seen the Wizard of Oz! Okay, I need to make it a thing, and watch that show. I am ashamed!
Don’t be ashamed. Not everyone is into many movies. Happy weekend. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
A classic, one of many dad says he’s never seen. According to him, if/when he retires, he plans to catch up on many things including all of the classics.
He’ll enjoy this classic movie. Happy week to your dad, Smudge. 🙂
