Casablanca

great examples of that are the songs "Laura" written by David Raksin for the movie Laura, and "As Time Goes By" in the movie Casablanca. Actually "As Time Goes By" was already an existing song with no popularity. The producer by chance heard the song in a nightclub and thought it would work in this new movie he was making. As they say, the rest is history and the film Casablanca gave a life to "As Time Goes…

In 1935, Bogart’s career starting taking a turn for the better when producer Arthur Hopkins sent for Bogart to play escaped murderer Duke Mantee in Robert Sherwood's new play, The Petrified Forest. In Meyers’ book, he writes that Hopkins wasn’t impressed with Bogart at first: When I saw the actor I was somewhat taken aback, for he was the one I never much admired. He was an antiquated juvenile who spent most of his stage life in white pants swinging a tennis racquet. He seemed as far from a…

the house was exciting. I also find it pretty neat that she was used as an extra in the film during the baptism scene. Along with war and military films, any film about sports will grab my attention to the fullest. I have always been a sports fanatic and like war films, the history goes hand and hand.

his text is pockmarked with attempts at infuriating the Warner Brothers. Marx mocks the seriousness of the situation by responding in a manner antithetical to the gravitas evoked in “long, ominous legal document warning [him] not to use the name ‘Casablanca’” was supposed to sway him. He is tangential, spiralling off into a largely useless description of Harry Applebaum remembered for his mother's apple-strudel baking finesse, and he is absurd, weaving an slaphappy description of the late…

At the Casablanca Conference in January 1943 the leaders of the Allied powers, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin met to declare that the Allies would only accept unconditional surrender from the Axis powers. After dropping the bombs on Japanese…
