The 1942 movie directed by Michael Curtiz tells the story of Rick (Humphrey Bogart), a cynical nightclub owner living in Casablanca, whose ex-girlfriend Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) walks into the club one night looking for papers to escape to America – with her resistance-leader husband. Ilsa is still in love with Rick, but, according to Rick, three people's happiness may not "amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world," referring to World War II. Interestingly, the oft-quoted line "Play it again, Sam," referring to pianoman Sam playing Rick and Ilsa's song "As Time Goes By," is never actually said in the film. Ilsa says, "Play it, Sam," and Rick says later, "You played it for her, you can play it for me! Play it!"
