      Bogart never said "play it again Sam". From memory he said "you played it for her, now play it for me Sam". The scene at the end with the aircraft was actually a scaled down Dc-3 with former "Munchkins" providing the crew for said Dc-3. It's all a matter of camera angles and scale.

    Great video. I think you had a slightly deviated approach to present the city. True it is a business tourist destination but the average tourist won't be able to appriate this part. But in fact the most shining part of the city is its role as a financial hub bridge between Europe and Africa. Casablanca is hosting headquarters of several companies and banks operating in several european and african countries.

    I haven’t been to Casablanca but I have been to Agadir and Marakesh. They were both beautiful places. We lived in Germany at the time and used a German tour company for our trip to Morocco. From the airport to the hotel area there were checkpoints at every intersection. When my husband and I left the hotel grounds we had “undercover “ minders following us around. We didn’t care much, we were after all American soldiers on leave. We were open minded and respectful of the people around us and we had a really great time. I think the only time I got a little miffed was when we were leaving and the female officer was giving me a hard time going through security, something about not taking Moroccan coins out of the country. (It’s not allowed apparently) other than that I would go back again.

    A very related story, but actually quite different, would be an account of Tanger (or Tangier as it is known in the West). It's nearby and quite abit smaller than Casablance, but in my visits to Morocco, I found Tanger much more fascinating than the much vaunted Casablanca. Its history is wild, but sadly (almost) no one goes to Tanger.

      Hi Lynn, I liked your comment that ended with "Learn something" :-) I'm setting you some homework if you are up to the challenge.
      Simon said "... the barbary priates would run up and down the mediterranean coast stealing from villages and robbing wealthy european ships."
      Let me know if you think this is a reasonable summary of their activities ? I've never given a thumbs-down to Simon myself - I like him too much - but I'm hoping you'll figure out why some people do so. History is too important to miss out (perhaps deliberately) the worst parts.
      My assumption is that the thumbs-down are not for missing out important parts of history, but for missing out parts selectively that someone less generous than myself (or you) might consider to be partisan.

    I visited Casablanca in 1999 and I thought it was one of the most dreary cities I have ever been to. There was really not that much there to see other than the Mosque and the very interesting souq. I am glad to here they are trying to spruce it up a bit.

      I live sixty miles south of Casablanca and really must agree, there is little to love about the city. Few tourists visit Casablanca as there is very little to interest tourists other than the Hassan II Mosque.

    How safe is it for a USA citizen?

With what's going on, travel isn't gonna happen any time soon so,even though I live on a sailboat , and can,theoretically, go where I want, i thought I'd ask.

      Morocco is very safe for tourists. Crime is very low against tourists and as long as you aren’t gullible you won’t lose too much money haggling. Morocco is a great place to visit, especially Marrakech. 10/10 would recommend visiting.

    "Casablanca" is my all time favorite movie. I watch it every birthday as a special treat to myself. My family was on a cruise through the Panama Canal a few years ago and the ship had "Casablanca" on the schedule in one of the smaller theaters. ON THE DAY WE WERE TRANSITING THE LOCKS! So I went to guest services and explained my plight. She graciously said she'd see what she could do and I expected nothing to come of it. Two days later I get a hand written note from the CD and the Captain explaining that they had talked the guy who was giving all the historical Panama talks to move his scheduled session so they could show the movie again. In the BIG theater this time. Only time I've ever seen it on the big screen and I was dead center with a Guinness, two whiskey, and a big damn bucket of popcorn. There were maybe 10 people in the theater with me and somehow they found out I was the reason there was a second showing. Lots of smiles and "thank-yous".
