Set during World War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, love and virtue. He must choose between his love for a woman andhelping her and her Czech Resistance leader husband escape from the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis.
The play's cast consisted of 16 speakingparts and several extras; the film script enlarged it to 22 speaking parts and hundreds of extras.[3] The cast is notable for its internationalism: only three of the credited actors were born in theU.S. The top-billed actors were:
* Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine. Earlier in his career
* Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund.
* Paul Henreid as Victor Laszlo.
Writing
The original playwas inspired by a trip to Europe made by Murray Burnett in 1938, during which he visited Vienna shortly after the Anschluss, where he saw discrimination by Nazis first-hand.
Direction
Wallis'first choice for director was William Wyler, but he was unavailable, so Wallis turned to his close friend Michael Curtiz.
Music
The music was written by Max Steiner, who was best known forthe score for Gone with the Wind. The song "As Time Goes By" by Herman Hupfeld had been part of the story from the original play;
Casablanca was nominated for eight Academy Awards, and won three.When the award for Best Picture was announced producer Hal B. Wallis got up to accept, only to find Jack Warner had rushed onstage to take the trophy. Wallis later recalled, "I had noalternative but to sit down again, humiliated and furious. ... Almost forty years later, I still haven't recovered from the shock."[89] This incident would lead Wallis to leave Warner Bros. in April.[
