Bogart owned an Envidenza himself, a watch with a tonneau, almost square-shaped case. There are two other popular theories out there surrounding this watch: One is that it's another Longines, called the "Roosevelt," and the other is that it's an old square-cased Lord Elgin. The only thing that's clear about the watch is it's shape.

Similar to the watch on-screen, we know very little of Blaine, or why he's unable to return to the United States. We know only that he lived in Paris at the outbreak of the war, fell in love with a married woman who left him in the rain only to see her again at his own club cue "As Time Goes By".
Like any good watch, Blaine's is likely a keeper of memories, some good some bad. Blaine strikes me as a man who doesn't much care for what time it is, per se. Instead, I think it serves as a more general reminder to him — a reminder of the time gone by.
This moment drives Blaine into a full-blown alcoholic stupor. After the club closes, he retreats to drink his sorrows away, until Sam comes to check on him. As Blaine sits, his dinner jacket-clad arms rest on the table, and his watch is in full view []. Rick then turns to Sam, pleading that he play the song again, "If you can play it for her, you can play it for me!
Immediately following his request, Sam begins to tickle the ivories, kickstarting a classic movie flashback: Paris, just before the war, when Blaine and Lund were in love. When Rick drinks himself into a depressive stupor, he generally wants to be alone, but he doesn't seem to mind Sam's presence. At times, Sam seems like Rick's older brother or guardian. While Sam is a vivid presence in the scenes in which he is featured, his character is never fully developed.
A young Bulgarian newlywed who desperately wants to escape to America. Brandel comes to Rick to ask about Louis's reliability. Louis has offered to give her and her husband exit visas to leave Casablanca in exchange for sexual favors, and she fears that this is their only option. Her plight brings out the idealist in Rick, who arranges for Mr. Brandel to win big at the roulette table, scoring enough money to purchase the exit visas.
In this way, Rick allows the Brandels to leave Casablanca with their marriage uncorrupted. Annina's husband, who wants to escape to America with his wife. Unaware that Louis has made Annina a proposal, Mr. Brandel believes that the only hope of escaping Casablanca is by winning big at the roulette table.
Because of Rick's generosity, this is exactly what happens. Carl is an amiable staff member who also participates in the Casablanca anti-Nazi underground. He sees through Rick's cynicism and considers him a decent, generous man.
Sacha is more playful, nosy, and cynical than Carl, but like his coworker, he is a member of the underground and can see Rick's essential generosity and goodness. A Casablanca street criminal.

Calling his newest partner " Baby ," Bogart was very discreet, keeping their illicit affair to brief encounters out of the public eye. When they couldn't be together, Bogart would write endearing love letters to his young mistress stressing his passion and adoration for her.
His relationship with Bacall crossed a line Bogie had never stepped over before. Although he had cheated on his wives in the past, this was his first affair with one of his leading ladies. Humphrey Bogart and his year-younger sweetheart married in shortly after he divorced Mayo. He and Bacall remained married until his death in Shortly after Bogie's death, Bacall announced she was engaged to singer Frank Sinatra. There were rumors that she'd begun seeing the singer while still married to the ailing Bogart.
Whether true or not, Sinatra ended the relationship and Bacall later married actor Jason Robards in in Ensenada, Mexico. Decades after his death, many of the Humphrey Bogart movies make critics' lists of Top Hollywood films. Swedish-born actress Ingrid Bergman is considered one of the greatest female actors of all-time and is one of the few actresses to take home three Oscars during her career. Bergman was born in Stockholm, Sweden in and after achieving success in European films, came to America where she became a bonafide international big screen movie star.
Some of the more memorable Ingrid Bergman movies are Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mary's, and Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound, and Notorious. Ingrid Bergman was just 14 when this photo was taken, and the Swedish teen will one day become one of the stars of Hollywood's most treasured romantic movie: Casablanca. And despite the romantic chemistry that movie fans around the world adored, off-screen there was no "sizzle" between Bergman and Bogart, even though the actress already had a reputation for fooling around with her leading men.
The fact that she was several inches taller than Bogart may have been a factor. When they were filming, the shorter Bogart often had to wear 3" wooden platforms tied to his shoes.
The actress once remarked how much she enjoyed acting with Gary Cooper since she didn't have to film barefooted. There would be many other Ingrid Bergman movies over the years and apparently Casablanca was not one of her favorites. Bogart said five of them, and Claude Rains the sixth. They had a baby son they named Roberto.
She divorced Lindstrom and married Rossellini. During her year marriage to Lindstrom, the actress had occasionally had flings and affairs with some of her leading men and male co-stars, including photographer Robert Capa and actor Gregory Peck.
Sometimes she juggled several lovers at a time, but the revelation of her affair and pregnancy with Rossellini caused her to be blacklisted in Hollywood. No one was sure if Bergman would ever work in American cinema again and she remained in Italy where she and Rossellini made their home.
After a six year hiatus from the Hollywood film industry, Bergman returned to the American screen in the movie Anastasia and was welcomed back by winning her second Best Actress Oscar. Ingrid Bergman had a torrid love affair with actor Gary Cooper after they appeared together in 's "For Whom the Bells Toll," which she filmed right after "Casablanca.
All was forgiven, but she and Rossellini divorced the following year after Rossellini had an affair with an Indian actress named Sonali Das Gupta who he later married. Bergman married a third and final time in to Lars Schmidt, a wealthy Swedish theatrical entrepreneur with whom she'd had an affair during the final year of her marriage to Rossellini.
This union also dissolved in divorce in Bergman's life was full of excitement, shame, and occasional scandal. Among those on her list of lovers were Gregory Peck, and Gary Cooper. If you want a peek into this uninhibited and liberated Swede's private life, I recommend you add Ingrid Bergman by Grace May Carter to your library.
Prepare to be surprised! In the final years of her life, Ingrid Bergman battled breast cancer and passed away on her birthday: August 29, She was 67 years old. She was cremated and her ashes scattered off the west coast of Sweden. Paul Henreid made up the third player in the Rick and Ilsa love triangle. Henreid was born in Trieste, Austria-Hungary, which today is part of northeastern Italy.
He came to America in the late s, making his first appearance in 's Goodbye Mr. Chips playing the part of Staefel, the German master. His European accent largely typecast him for the next decade as he was called upon repeatedly to play German characters as war movies were very popular at the time.
Like Bogart and Bergman, Henreid's stock in Hollywood went up during the s but came to a screeching halt when he was investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee in the early s. It was the period of the McCarthy "Red Scare," and because Henreid was vocal in his opposition to what he perceived to be a communist witch hunt, he was blacklisted and branded a "communist sympathizer," effectively ending his career.
Although his career never fully recovered, in director Alfred Hitchcock ignored the blacklisting and potential public outcry and hired Henried to direct dozens of episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Henreid also managed to find some work behind the camera for Desilu, Screen Gems and a few other companies. Henreid appeared in his last motion picture, Exorcist II: The Heretic in and retired from the screen.
