There is quite an interesting documentary study of the making of
Casablanca which you can catch on public tv sometime.  I have no
references for it, perhaps someone could come to my aid.

The following is all from vague memory, but is essentially, if not
exactly true:

	One interesting point was that the famous ending of Casablanca
	was conjured up the day it was filmed, Bogart got arrested in
	the original (or some other equally unthinkable end).  Another
	interesting point is that Bogart and Bergmann were at each
	other's throats off the camera (this according to Bergmann and
	others).

I agree, it's one of the very greatest movies, even on TV.
