The The Making of Casablanca by Aljean Harmetz

The The Making of Casablanca by Aljean Harmetz

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 60th anniversary (Thanksgiving Day, 1942) of this movie, this critically acclaimed 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 the late Paul Henreid, Lauren Bacall, 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 highly pressured Hollywood studio system during World War II.

Aljean Harmetz is the author of several books, including The Making of Casablanca, On the Road to Tara: The Making of Gone with the Wind, Rolling Breaks and Other Hollywood Business, and Off the Face of the Earth, a fiction. She worked for the New York Times for twelve years as a cultural reporter covering Hollywood and the West Coast.
