I have some friends over last night and we watched Casablanca on the big screen.
This morning, as I was drinking coffee and sitting around in my robe, I was thinking about how much the world has changed since 1942. Casablanca was made while World War II in full swing. Germany had already invaded France. The Japanese had not yet bombed Pearl Harbor December 07, 1941. The Allies invaded Casablanca in real life on the 8th of November 1942. As the film was not due for release until spring, studio executives suggested it be changed to incorporate the invasion. They never did.
--They never knew then just how far it all would go. The war or the movie...
