Wow, had forgotten how smooth, dedicated, focused and in the moment Peter Lorre could act! What a gem and such a soulful performance in Casablanca! All these actors, performances, direction, cinematography, music, underlying meanings, editing, the amazing synergy created in this work of art and gift of the heart is priceless!

Bogart is always good but Peter Lorre is extraordinary. I was impressed with him from the moment I saw him in "M." Intense, masterful & the conclusion one of the best acting scenes I ever saw. Lorre is considerably underrated today. They talk about DeNiro, Pacino, Hoffman, Nicholson & Brando but go back, way back to Peter Lorre in "M" & watch where it all started. In this film he had a small part but what a character he was. No wonder Bogart featured Lorre in several of his films. This whole scene & its dialogue is so well composed. And the big man at the door (Dan Seymour) -- an actor famous years later for his villainous roles in the tv series The Adventure of Superman.

@@c.a.savage5689 - I agree on all titles. I can't understand how Lorre's career derailed into such silly pictures & horror films after a certain point. Yes, it may have been a paycheck but someone in Hollywood should have known how great he was. Or maybe that's a sure symptom of how Hollywood appreciates its great artists. Unlike John Wayne & Orson Welles, they had stock directors & actors they worked with consistently. I don't think Lorre had that luxury or he would have made more intense films. Welles & Alfred Hitchcock certainly should've welcomed Lorre into their fold.

The scene is a masterpiece. The word went out before filming began that this would be the last big movie to be shot for the duration. Just think, audiences in 1943 would pay, go in, and sit through Casablanca ONE TIME!, never realizing that they were seeing what, by many, would be considered the greatest Hollywood motion picture of all time 80 years later. I suppose some people paid to see it more than once, but that would have a rare person. It just wasn't done. You'd pay, get your popcorn, and watch the movie one time. They saw it only once because they thought that Hollywood would keep making movies this interesting, of this quality, for years. No. Hollywood NEVER made a movie again this good from then to now. It was the pinnacle of Hollywood's craft. Casablanca cost $2 million to make in 1942. Titanic in 1999 cost $200 million to make. I read that a few years ago they found a few elements of the set for Rick's Cafe Americain somewhere at Warner Bros. I have seen a few out-takes that were not destroyed- Bogie sitting at that table where the girl comes to talk to him. He sits there smoking, relaxing between scenes, I guess. Think if all of the out-takes had been preserved. Lucky for the world that television came in, in the US, in1947. I wonder when Casablanca was broadcast on TV for the first time in the US. Without TV, people would have had to wait until it was released again for theater exhibition. I wonder if it ever was. Now, of course, we can have it on DVD. I wonder what the Fuhrer thought of Casablanca. He used to have lots of current movies screened at the home at Bechtesgaten. He could not have liked the treatment of the Dritter Reich in the movie.

He was playing a chess-by-mail match at the time of shooting for this movie. The position on the board was part of the opening game of that match. Between takes he was often playing chess with Claude Rains and Paul Heinreid.

Yes that's a big error. There are 2 explanations: 1. The writers felt DeGaulle's name was more familiar to American audiences 2.

In any event most folks at that time would not get too thrown off by that brief line.
