  • Casablanca began as a stage play called Everybody Comes to Rick's and ended winning best picture, best director, and best adapted screenplay.
    The writers, after winning the Academy Award, dismissed the original writer's claim that their script, basically, just copied his play.
    Though, if you are familiar with the play, much of the story and dialogue did come from the original stage play.
    However, Julius and Philip Epstein and Howard Koch, the Hollywood writers, did significantly improve the story. They changed the characters from crude and common to high-class and noble. They punched up the dialogue and added numerous comedy vignettes. They toned down the blatant sexuality and emphasized the romance. Or maybe this was just the censorship of the Production Code.
    They introduced a classic theme: when you love someone who doesn't love you, it's soul-crushing. And when you realize they do love you; you are filled with a powerful force for good.
    Julius Epstein called this 'corn'. "But when corn works, there's nothing better."

    They throw around the term “Concentration Camp” several times throughout the film, but America clearly didn’t understand what that meant exactly at time of writing and production. Hollywood was unaware of the total extermination occurring in them. Otherwise the writers would have taken it more seriously.

      I get the idea from watching the first episode of "The U.S. and the Holocaust" last night that we may have known more than was spread around.

      @Car Education: That’s an alarmist statement you made about the writers not taking seriously concentration camps! I contend you’re wrong! This movie was written & based on events that were happening during WWII…If stop trying to surmise your opinion with today’s times & events I don’t think you would be opining that!

      During the war, the term “concentration camp” was NOT synonymous with the Holocaust. The term was in common use for any camp where political prisoners were “concentrated”. Not all camps engaged in the murdering of Jews. In fact, most camps did not.

    There was no "Nazi army" just as the U.S. had no "Democrat army." The
    German army marched into Paris (as Ingrid Bergman's character tells us).

      I'm not sure why you'd make a comment like this, but if you're German, I bet you vote AfD. If you're American, either you're just regular ignorant or a fascist. Now, I wonder which one of those apply here?

    For anyone who has seen this wonderful film a dozen times (or a hundred times) over the decades, this "synopsis" is pretty much unwatchable, other than maybe for grade school kids. Simplistic narrative which misses more points in this superb film than I can count on all of my fingers and toes. So I'm wondering exactly what generation or education level it was written for? 🙄🤔

      It leaves stuff out? It “misses more points” than you can count!
      Do you know what synopsis means?
      (Syn.op.sis: a brief summary, a condensed, simplified narrative)
      In the realm of the written word, brevity is not derided, but seen as a master skill.
      This is one of my all-time favorite films. Your words cut me, Sir!

      If you actually believe that this mess of a video is anything approaching a coherent summary of this wonderful screenplay, then let me Strongly recommend that you sign up for a basic course in English Language comprehension at your local night school... because you Truly need it. Wow. 🙄
