Incredible behind the scenes facts about Casablanca

[post_page_title]Unexpected castings[/post_page_title]
Released in 1942, “Casablanca” was filmed in the middle of World War II, and that’s reflected in the plot. The movie is very much a product of its time, but it turns out it had a stronger connection to the tragedies of the war than merely when it was made. Many of the actors who appeared in the film were Jewish refugees who had come over from Europe to escape persecution. Characters like Ugarte and Carl, the waiter, were played by actors who had fled from Germany before it was too late.
