This original still shows Rick (Humphrey Bogart) leaning on Sam's (Dooley Wilson) piano. The famous line "Play it again, Sam" was not actually used in the film. However, Rick does say, "Play it, Sam".

Casablanca remains the most famous film of all time. It was directed by Michael Curtiz, and stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. After Bogart's success in The Maltese Falcon (1941), Casablanca was the film that truly elevated him to global stardom.

Excellent condition.
