1.) Nobody, including Bogart, ever says "Play it again,
Sam" at any point in this movie. The closest anyone comes is
when Ingrid Bergman says, "Play it, Sam."
2.) There never was such a thing as a letter of transit.
3.) No one knew right up until the filming of the last scene whether Ilsa would end up with Rick or Laszlo. During the course of the picture, when Ingrid Bergman asked director Michael Curtiz with which man her character was in love, she was told to "play it in between."
4.) Most of the actors portraying Nazis were Jewish.
5.) The real-life invasion of Casablanca by the Nazis was used to promote this film, and
helped contribute to its success.
6.) The budget for Casablanca was so small they couldn't use a real plane in the background at the airport.
So, they used a smaller-than-scale cardboard cutout. To give the illusion that the plane was full-sized, they used midgets to portray the crew preparing the plane for take-off.
