Casablanca
Paese d'origine: USA
Location del set: Metropolitan Airport, Van Nuys, California, USA
Versioni alternative: - At the time of release, the film was banned in Germany because the story was considered to be anti-Nazi propaganda by the wartime censors. After the end of World War II, the picture was finally released in Germany but with around 20 minutes of edited footage that removed all of Conrad Veidt's scenes and all references to Nazism. - In 1987 a specially re-edited version prepared by Joao Luiz Albuquerque was shown at the Rio Film Festival. This version had the ending changed (Ingrid Bergman does not take the plane and goes back in Bogey's arms). - Fans should check out the original theatrical trailer, which is included on the DVD release. It features alternate takes of numerous scenes featuring Bogart, Bergman, Greenstreet and Henreid. Most notable is a sequence showing Rick saying, "You asked for this, Colonel" before shooting Strasser -- a line of dialogue NOT in the final film.

Plot: Rick Blaine, who owns a nightclub in Casablanca, discovers his old flame Ilsa is in town with her husband, Victor Laszlo. Laszlo is a résistance leader, and with Germans on his tail, Ilsa knows Rick can help them get out of the country - but will he ? In World War II Casablanca, Rick Blaine, exiled American and former freedom fighter, runs the most popular nightspot in town. The cynical lone wolf Blaine comes into the possession of two valuable letters of transit. When Nazi Major Strasser arrives in Casablanca, the sycophantic police Captain Renault does what he can to please him, including detaining Czech underground leader Victor Laszlo. Much to Rick's surprise, Lazslo arrives with Ilsa, Rick's one time love. Rick is very bitter towards Ilsa, who ran out on him in Paris, but when he learns she had good reason to, they plan to run off together again using the letters of transit. Well, that was their original plan....
