‘Play it, Sam’: The Use of Music in Casablanca

Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1942) is one of the most famous, successful, and quotable films of all time. Even if you’ve never seen it, you’ve likely heard some of its best lines – ‘here’s looking at you, kid’, ‘round up the usual suspects’, ‘of all the gin joints in all in the towns in all the world, she walks into mine’, or ‘Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship’.
