Incredible behind the scenes facts about Casablanca

[post_page_title]Not how it looks[/post_page_title]
It can be easy to forget that not only is “Casablanca” set during World War II, but it was also filmed then too. As a result, certain restrictions were in place during production. One of these was that they couldn’t shoot the airport scenes at night, because they risked attracting attention to themselves. Instead, most of those final scenes were shot on a soundstage, with the plane in the background actually being a cardboard cutout. Dwarf actors stood in front of it to make it seem bigger and more realistic.
