The Making of Casablanca: Bogart, Bergman, and World War II Paperback – Big Book, 23 October 2002

Well researched and enjoyable read about the greatest film of all time. Many wonderful stories about the creation of a masterpiece. Also contains photos and cast and crew information. A must have for any fan of "Casablanca".

If you like Casablanca (and if you don't then you clearly don't like movies) this book is essential reading.Learnt loads about the cast and crew and the politics around at the time, not just in Hollywood.

This is a detailed and thoroughly researched history of the making of one of the worlds most popular films.The original edition of this book was published in 1992 as "Round Up The Usual Suspects", and should serve as an example of how to write a book about Hollywood history. This is a re-issue (with some minor editorial changes) for the sixtieth (2002) anniversary.Years of research, interviews (often contradictory), and documentation, are condensed into a fascinating narrative -- the confusion, chaos, politics (studio and global), and the final outcome, and it's legacy are all covered, and much of it from eye-witness testimony.The only annoying part was recognising so many passage that I had read in other histories derived from this book.

If you love the movie you'll love this fact filled book that answers all the questions and then some.

The book is most boringly written
