Incredible behind the scenes facts about Casablanca

[post_page_title]A touch of color[/post_page_title]
Color films might be the norm nowadays, but back when “Casablanca” was released, they weren’t possible. Filmmakers only had black, white and varying shades of gray to work with, which meant that cinematographers had to get clever with their use of shadows. Arthur Edeson, the man responsible for this, had also worked on “Frankenstein” in the past, so he knew a thing or two about how to create an atmosphere. It’s no wonder, then, that people were so up in arms when the film was colorized in the ‘80s.
