Description: "Critically acclaimed when published in 1992 as Round Up the Usual Suspects, The Making of Casablanca offers the ultimate insider's look at the politics and personalities behind the most celebrated movie of all time - Casablanca.

Updated and timed for the sixtieth anniversary of the movie, this fascinating book draws upon years of research, including access to Ingrid Bergman's personal acting diaries and the vast Warner Brothers archives, as well as interviews with many of those close to the film, including Lauren Bacall, the late Paul Henreid, and scriptwriters Howard Koch and Julius Epstein.

Richly detailed and full of surprises, The Making of Casablanca debunks many cherished myths about the casting, script, story, and stars, to reveal the realities of the volatile Hollywood studio system during World War II."--BOOK JACKET.
