I don't recall her being his daughter, but time may have had its effect on my
memory.

One i (or at least my mother) is sure of is the question 

What movie was based on the play "Everyone Goes to Rick's"?

The answer given is, logically "Casablanca".  But there are some problems with
this.  Of a book my mom read on the movie, what she remembered most strongly
was that they were in fact writing the end of the movie while it was being
filmed; bogey and ingrid bergman had to be really ambiguous--THEY didn't know
who would get Elsa.  This would seem to rule out Casablanca being taken from a
movie.
