When one realizes that the lead actors had know confidence in the movie, it is surprising was a good job the did on it.

One thing I find curious in the characterisation of Strasser is that he is shown as being a major in the Luftwaffe, even though there is an unspoken presumption in the story that he must be in the Gestapo (hence his power over the French police and his access to personal information about Rick). Of course, the Gestapo were a plain clothes organisation (otherwise they wouldn't be "geheime", or "secret"), and perhaps Strasser's uniform is a cover. But perhaps Veidt himself, as a confirmed anti‐nazi, felt that a Luftwaffe persona would go some way to reducing his sensibilities.

Haha! Greatest movie line ever when he tells the Major: "Well, there are certain sections of New York I wouldn't advise you to try to invade." Truth! I grew up near there, and know first hand about some of those Gambino family-run; or Lecchese family-run hoods!

Veidt was a popular film and stage actor in Germany for most of his career. When the Nazis came to power he refused to denounce his wife, who was Jewish, and was blacklisted and never worked in Germany after that. He and his wife emigrated to Britain and he donated most of his estate and salaries to the British war effort. With all that it's rather amazing he plays such a sleazy Nazi character so convincingly. Sadly, he died shortly after this movie premiered.

Conrad Veilt played Nazis on purpose to show how evil and ridiculous they were, and donated much of the proceeds of his movie roles to anti-Nazi causes. He always insisted that any Nazis he played on screen get their comeuppance by the end of the picture.

TRIVIA: In the final scene where Rick shoots the Major, Rick says, "put that phone down" then shoots. Where did the line, "you asked for it" from that same scene come from? The same scene, different take was used in the "coming soon" movie promotions they showed at theaters prior to the release of Casablanca. If you have the DVD, watch the "promo" section and you'll see.

@Frisbieinstein Жыл бұрын
The production was chaotic, the script was being written as the filming was going on, and the cast thought it was going to flop. Source : Ingrid Bergman's autobiography. I'd say it was the best script ever written, so I guess they knew what they were doing. I think the low budget forced a brevity and quick pace on them that is effective.

Hollywood makes many errors that they're aware of. Like "Where Eagles Dare" when officers identified as SS were in Wehrmacht uniforms and those identified as Gestapo were in SS garb. I think Gestapo officers actually wore ordinary business attire.
