Trivia:
- Humphrey Bogart never says "Play it again, Sam." He says: "You played it
for her, you can play it for me. Play it!". Ingrid Bergman says "Play it,
Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'".
- Hal Wallis nearly made the character "Sam" a female. Hazel Scott, Lena
Horne, and Ella Fitzgerald were tested for the role.
- Ronald Reagan and George Raft was on the shortlist for the role of Rick.
- Dooley Wilson (who played Sam) was a professional drummer who faked playing
the piano. Because the music was recorded at the same time as the film,
the piano playing was actually performed by Elliot Carpenter.
- Bergman complained that she didn't know who her character was supposed to be
in love with.
- Two contradicting endings were scheduled to be filmed, but the first one
worked so well that they used it.
- The budget was so small they couldn't use a real plane in the back ground at
the airport. Instead, it is a small cardboard cutout. To give the illusion
that the plane was full-sized, they used midgets to portray the crew
preparing the plane for take-off.
- This film was rewritten daily during filming, made on a shoestring budget,
hastily released, and expected to bomb.
- The timely real-life invasion of Casablanca was used to promote this film,
and undoubtedly contributed to its success.
- Based on a play called "Everybody Comes To Rick's".
