Title
Round Up the Usual Suspects: The Making of 'Casablanca' Bogart, Bergman, and World War II,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
It is 50 years since 'Casablanca' opened up in America. Little did Humphrey Bogart know when he uttered the final line 'This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship' that he had just closed what would be one of the most enduring and popular movies ever. Aljean Harmetz believes that 'every movie is a creature built from accidents and blind choices a mechanical monster constructed of camera angles, the chemistry between actors, too little money or too much and a thousand unintended moments'. Her portrait of the making of an unmatched classic reveals some of the accidents: how the stars of the movie almost weren't Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman; how 'As Time Goes By' nearly didn't make it to the final cut.
