Luxe presents Hollywood.   Deluxe Radio Theater brings you Hedy Lamarr, Alan Ladd, and John Loder in Casablanca   with Edgar Barrier.   Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, mister Cecil b DeMille.  

[00:01:03] Unknown:

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.   One by January morning,   just a year ago, the city of Casablanca in French   Morocco woke up and found itself famous.   It had entertained many mysterious visitors   from a world at war, but never before   the president of The United States and the prime minister of Great Britain.   Within a few days, Warner Brothers had rushed their screen drama Casablanca to the theaters of the nation,   and people marveled at a Hollywood miracle.   Actually, of course, the picture had been planned and filmed during the months previous   because   Casablanca   had an exciting story to tell even before the president and prime minister arrived. It's a story of love and hate   and a background of adventure and sudden death.  

Tonight, we bring you that drama with a cast that producers dream   about. Hetty Lamar   and Alan Ladd and John Lauder.   Hetty came back to town last week from Texas with the applause of the soldiers at Camp Hood still ringing in her ears until we borrowed her from Metro Berlin Mayer where she's just completed the picture,   heavenly body.   Alan Ladd, of course, came to us from Paramount.   I'm hoping to have Alan for my next picture following the story of doctor Wassel.   Getting   these players together   in one drama is a talent scoop of the first magnitude in Hollywood,   and it's unlikely that it would ever happen in a picture because our stars are under contract at different studios   and are kept so busy on their home lots that they aren't loaned out as the phrase goes. We really should thank Luxe   loaned out as the phrase goes.  

We really should thank Luxe toilet soap for making this occasion possible.   Every bit of work and artistry that has gone into our production, from the first word of the script on paper to the final dress rehearsal, has been designed for your enjoyment. We might call it a bonus that you   Lux toilet soap above and beyond the bonus of beauty that you expect.   And we'll pay that bonus right now as the curtain rises on the first act of Casablanca,   starring Alan Ladd as Rick,   Eddie Lamar as Ilsa Lund, and John Loda as Victor Laszlo, with Edgar Barriere as Renault.   Everyone knows that name today, Casablanca.  

Before the war, Casablanca   was just another small seaport   with its face to the Mediterranean at its back to the North Atlantic.   But   then, as the Nazi lash descended upon Europe,   hordes of refugees,   like the boiling waters of a burst dam,   flooded into the sanctuary of its white walls.   Those with money   enough or influence enough   obtained exit visas,   bearing the seal of the Vichy government,   and fled to Lisbon,   and from Lisbon to the Americans.   The others   just waited   and waited.   But all who came to Casablanca   were not refugees.   The German intelligence was always there when anything unusual occurred.  

As for example,   the murder of two Nazi couriers.  

[00:04:09] Unknown:

Major's press, and may I present captain Reynaud, please, please, please, take the Casablanca. Unoccupied France, welcome, mister Major. Thank you.   You may find the climate of Casablanca  

[00:04:18] Unknown:

a sight for warmth. We Germans must get used to all climates, captain,   from Russian to the Sahara.   But perhaps you were not referring to the Vera. Oh, what else, my dear major? The murder of the couriers.  

[00:04:30] Unknown:

What has been done about it? Captain Raynor already knows who the murderer is. Excellent.   He is in custody? There is no hurry. Tonight, he will come to Ricks. That cafe, major. I've pointed it out to you. Everybody in Casablanca comes to Ricks, but this one will not leave. Frankly, captain, I did not journey here simply to find an assassin.  

[00:04:48] Unknown:

The real reason for my visit is   Victor Laszlo.  

[00:04:51] Unknown:

I thought as much. Has she arrived here? Yes. This afternoon with a very beautiful young woman. I met one. Renault,   Laszlo must not leave Casablanca.  

[00:05:01] Unknown:

I have learned that he is prepared to offer a fabulous bribe for a visa to Lisbon.  

[00:05:06] Unknown:

I am prepared to refuse it. Where is she staying, you know? Major, I even know the time he intends to pay. I would like to talk with Laszlo.   Can it be arranged? Undoubtedly, he too will be at Rick's tonight. Everybody comes to Rick's.   Or did I mention that before?   Yes, miss Jean. I reserved a table. Victor Laszlo. Yes, miss Jean. I'll show you just one moment, please. Victor, are you sure we should have come here? So in public? There's often the greatest safety in what appears to be a risk. I see no one here ever got this description. Neither do I. You'll be here though. Excuse   me. I have a ring here. What? A ring. I'm forced to sell it at a great sacrifice. Well, I hardly think that perhaps the lady. The ring is quite   unique. You see? That's it, Victor. Yes. It's a very interesting ring.  

What's your name? I   recognized you from the newspaper photographs. We bet five times that you were killed in five different places.   As you see five different places? Different   places?   As   you can see, it's through each time. Thank heaven we found you, Bega. I'm looking for a man by the name of Ugarte. He's supposed to help us. He's here somewhere.   You need all the help you can get. Yes. This time they mean to stop me. Oh, I'm so afraid for you, Victor. We've been in difficult places before. Why? We're just coming back. That's all, Becca. Meet us at the bar later.  

[00:06:27] Unknown:

Oh, I don't think we want to buy the ring, but, thank you for showing it to us.  

[00:06:40] Unknown:

Yeah. It's Franz, Rick. Franz Ugarte.  

[00:06:44] Unknown:

Come in.  

[00:06:48] Unknown:

What do you want? Oh, nothing much, much, Rick.  

[00:06:52] Unknown:

Too bad about the German couriers.   Well, I got a break.   Yesterday, there were just two clerks. Today, they're among the honored dead. You you will forgive me for saying this, Rick, but you are a very cynical person. I forget you.  

[00:07:08] Unknown:

You despise me, don't you?   Well, if I gave you any thought, I probably would. But think of the poor refugees who must raft in Casablanca if I did not help them.   Is it so bad that through ways of my own, I provide them with exit visas? For a price, Adanti. For a price. Oh, those poor wretches who cannot meet Renault's price? I I get it for them at half.  

[00:07:29] Unknown:

Is that so parasitic?   Well, I don't mind a parasite. I just object to a cut rate one.  

[00:07:35] Unknown:

Well, after tonight, I'm through with the whole business. I I'm leaving Casablanca.   Rick, look. What? Look, Rick. Look. Do you know what these papers are? Letters of transit signed by Marshall Vagon.   With his signature, they cannot be rescinded or questioned,   not even by Renault.   So? So I'm selling this for more money than I ever dreamed of. And then goodbye.  

[00:07:56] Unknown:

What are you trying to say, Ugarte?  

[00:07:59] Unknown:

Rick, I have many friends in Casablanca.   But because you despise me, you are the only one I trust. Would you keep these glad this for me? How long?   For an hour perhaps till my client arrives.  

[00:08:12] Unknown:

Okay. But I don't want them here overnight. Oh, thank you. Thank you. No fear of that.  

[00:08:17] Unknown:

Now, Rick, I hope you are more impressed with me. I'll go to share my lot now with your roulette wheel. Hey. Wait a minute.  

[00:08:25] Unknown:

Yes?   I heard a rumor that those Nazi couriers were carrying letters of transit.  

[00:08:31] Unknown:

Yes. Poor devil. I   I heard that rumor too.  

[00:08:36] Unknown:

You're right, Ugarte.   I am a little more impressed with you.   Good evening, Rich.   Hello, Renouf. Hear that plane, Ritchie? It's going to Lisbon.   You'd like to be on it? Why? What's in Lisbon? The clipper that goes to America. Greek, I have often speculated on why you do not return to America. There's a red table inside the people who like to speculate. Yes. I noticed who got there, just went there. Yes. You're coming out poor. What was it, Rick? Whatever brought you to Casablanca?   Did you have scum with the church funds back home? Did you run off with somebody's wife?   I should like to think that you killed a man. He he's the romantic in me. Well, I'll tell you. It was a combination of all three. Someday I'll find out. Rick,   before you came, I took the liberty of escorting a visitor to your best table, the German, major Strasser.  

I wanted him to be on hand for the excitement because tonight we're making an an arrest here. Again? This time a murderer.   Please don't warn him, Rick. Now look, I stick my neck out for nobody. I'm staging the arrest here out of my high regard for you. It'll interest the customers.   And perhaps major Stossard.   Perhaps. Hassell.   Yes, captain. You will find Franz Ugarte inside at the roulette table. Yes. Arrest him for the murder of the German couriers. Yes, captain. Or he'll be carrying some letters of transit. Be sure you get them. Yes. Louie,   there's Martin Ugotty on your mind tonight. Oh, you're very observant, Rick.  

There are many exit fees are sold in this cafe   but we know that you have never sold them. That is why I permit you to remain open. No. I thought it was because I let you win a roulette. Oh, that's another reason.   Rick,   a man arrived today in Casablanca on his way to America.   Right now he's at the bar. He will offer a fortune to anyone who will furnish him with an exit visa.   What then? Victor Laszlo.   Why Ricky?   This is the first time I've ever seen you so interested.   Laszlo has succeeded in interesting half the world.   I wonder how he'll manage it. Manage what? His escape. He escaped from a concentration camp and the Nazis have chased him all over Europe,   but this is the end of the chase, Rick. Ten thousand francs says it isn't. Make it 5,000. I'm only a poor corrupt official.  

No. No matter how clever he is, he still needs an exit visa. I should say two. He's traveling with a lady.   You're settled for one. Oh, I think not. I have seen the lady.   Now where did you get the idea that I might help Laszlo? Because I know all about you, Ricky and up at least to know you're more a sentimentalist than a cynic. I know that in 1935 you ran guns into Ethiopia. I know that in 1936   you ripped your neck with the loyalists in Spain. And got well paid on both occasions. The winning side would have paid you much better. Maybe.   Louis, why do you wanna keep Laszlo here?  

Gestapo's thank. You overestimate the influence of the Gestapo.   And Casablanca,   I'm the boss.   I do not interfere with them, not them.   Cassell is a very noisy police.   Welcome to Rick. You welcomed us this afternoon at the airport, captain. I welcome everyone everywhere.   Oh, my profoundest apologies  

[00:12:15] Unknown:

miss Mersenne. But in me, I ask, why did you remain? Oh, permit me. Major Strasser, mademoiselle,  

[00:12:20] Unknown:

monsieur Laszlo. We've heard of you, major. The major asked why did you remain after the regrettable shooting? We were here to meet someone. He's not yet arrived.  

[00:12:29] Unknown:

Hilda, I think perhaps we should leave now. It might be wiser, monsieur. I do not think your friend will come. Just to use the body of Fran Zugate   to the mall. Fran Zugate,  

[00:12:41] Unknown:

your friend.   I'm sorry, captain, but the name Fran Zugate means absolutely nothing to me. Of course, come now, monsieur. We know that you This is enough for tonight. Tomorrow at ten, monsieur Laszlo in the captain's office with mademoiselle.  

[00:12:53] Unknown:

We are not under your   authority, major. This is French soil.   Captain Ouenois, is it your order that would come to your office? Let us say it is my request. Very well. It's 10:00 in the morning.  

[00:13:05] Unknown:

Good night. Sleep well,   major.   Now my friends, after all this unpleasantness and a little relaxation,   sit down please. Wait a Yes, your friend. A bottle of the best champagne. Put it on my bill. Please. Oh, they put it on my bill. I tear the bill up. It's just a little game we play. Oh, we   we shouldn't stay. We seem to be the only ones left. I'm afraid Ricky will be very cross with me, killing one customer and driving the others away. Oh, that's no reason why you shouldn't be entertained. Sam. Evening, Kevin. Sing something nice for my guest, Sam. Slow   boss. Mademoiselle,   I have been informed you are the most beautiful woman ever to visit Casablanca.  

That is a gross, fun, statement.  

[00:13:47] Unknown:

Thank you. You're very kind.   Captain,  

[00:13:50] Unknown:

that man's singing. He's been staring at you for the past five minutes, though, sir. I've seen him before somewhere.   Sam? Oh, he came here from Paris with Rick. Rick? Who is he? Mademoiselle,   you are in Rick's. And Rick is, well, is what? But he is the kind of a man that well, if I were a woman and I were not around, I would be in love with Rick. No offense, monsieur. If you, you both won't think me terribly rude. Will you excuse me a moment? I want to talk to Sam. To Sam? Of course, my yet. Hurry back,  

[00:14:21] Unknown:

my   brother.  

[00:14:25] Unknown:

Hello, Sam?  

[00:14:29] Unknown:

Hello, miss Ilsa. Never expected to see you again. Been a long time. Yes,  

[00:14:35] Unknown:

Yes, miss. Where is he, Sam? Why,  

[00:14:37] Unknown:

who, miss? Rick.  

[00:14:39] Unknown:

I don't know. I ain't seen him all night. Will he be back?  

[00:14:43] Unknown:

Not tonight no more. He ain't coming. He went home.  

[00:14:46] Unknown:

Does he always leave so early after a shooting?   Oh, Sam.   You used to be a much better liar. Leave him alone, miss Yosse.  

[00:14:54] Unknown:

You're bad luck to him. Sam,  

[00:14:57] Unknown:

play it once   for old time's sake.   I don't know what you mean. Play it, Sam, as time goes by.  

[00:15:05] Unknown:

I can't remember, miss Hilsa. Please  

[00:15:09] Unknown:

sing it, Sam. Oh, miss Hilsa.  

[00:15:13] Unknown:

You must   remember this.  

[00:15:28] Unknown:

I  

[00:15:43] Unknown:

thought I told you never   Oh, Rick. Come here. I want you to meet some charming people.   Hello, Elton. Hello, Rick. Oh, you two know each other. Then you also know mister Victor Laszlo? No. Oh, one hears a great deal about Rick in Casablanca.   And about you everywhere.   Won't you join us for a drink?   This is the most interesting cafe even without the gunplay.   I congratulate you.   And I congratulate you. What for?   Oh, your work. Thank you. I   try. We all try.   You succeed. Well, I can't get over you two knowing each other. I wasn't sure you were the same.  

[00:16:21] Unknown:

Let's see.   The last time we met, wasn't it in Paris?  

[00:16:25] Unknown:

Well, that shouldn't be too hard to remember.   It's the day the Germans marched in,   the Germans wore it gray.   You wore blue. Ilsa, I don't wish to be the one to say it, but it is late. Yes. So it is. Karl the bill. Forget it, Karl. It's my part. Oh, it is. Well, all in all, a most unusual evening. We'll come again. Do that. Will you say good night to Sam for me? Sure. There's still nobody in the world who can sing as time goes by like Sam. He hasn't done in a long time.   Good night. I'd like just one word with Rick, mister Lazlo, and then if you wish, I'd be delighted to drive you to your hotel. Thank you. We'll wait outside.   A very puzzling fellow, this Rick.  



[00:17:08] Unknown:

Just what sort is he? I really can't say. I met him in Paris.   We were once acquaintances.  

[00:17:26] Unknown:

In just a few minutes, Richard DeNill presents Teddy Lamar, Alan Land, and John Loder in act two of Casablanca.   And now here are two young workers in a busy office getting ready to leave for the day. Sue, if you look in that mirror any hot or you'll break it, quite the anxious expression.  

[00:17:41] Unknown:

Oh, no letter from Jim today? Yes. Jim wrote, and he may get a furlough next month. Say Peggy. Yes, Sue? You know, everyone used to say what a swell complexion I had. Guess it was my best feature.   But lately, it doesn't look like anything. Lost the old sparkle, And now you're worrying because Jim's coming home. You've been working all hours lately, been neglecting your beauty care, I'll bet. Well, it is easier not to bother sometimes, I'll admit. Yes. And it's practically fatal to take that attitude about your look.   Listen to your aunt Peggy, Susie. She's gonna prescribe for you. Everyday without fail an active lather facial. Active lather facial. With luxe toilet soap, the soap screen stars use. And believe me, it works. I know because luxe soap care helps my skin to look a lot nicer. Now here's what you do. And this is the luxe soap beauty facial Peggy told her friend to take. Cover your face generously with that nice creamy lather. Work it in gently but thoroughly too.  

Now rinse with warm water, splash with cold, and dry with a soft towel.   Easy, isn't it? Just try that every single day from now on. And only a few weeks later, Sue said Oh, Peggy.   I owe you and luxe soap a world of thanks.  

[00:18:51] Unknown:

What a thrill it was to have Jim tell me. Sue darling, you look lovely, prettier than ever. Many a girl has found daily luxe toilet soap facials really make skin lovelier. Recent tests show that actually three out of four complexions improved with this care. Grew softer, smoother.   Why not let this fine white soap give your skin protecting care it should have?   Ask for luxe toilet soap tomorrow. And if you find your dealer is temporarily out of stock due to wartime conditions, he's sure to have more soon.   Remember,   Luxe toilet soap, Hollywood's beauty soap, is worth waiting for.  

And now, mister DeMille returns to the microphone.  

[00:19:29] Unknown:

Act two of Casablanca,   starring Alan Ladd as Rick, Hetty Lamar as Ilsa, and John Loda as Victor, with Edgar Barriere as Renault.   It's hours later, and in Rick's cafe,   a solitary lamp still burns.   Rick sits at a table staring into an empty highball glass.   And in the shadows,   Sam fingers the keyboard  

[00:19:59] Unknown:

quietly. Boss,   ain't you going to bed?  

[00:20:05] Unknown:

Mhmm. Not right now.  

[00:20:07] Unknown:

Well, ain't you planning on going to bed in the near future?  

[00:20:11] Unknown:

No.   Go on. Keep playing with you. Okay.   Boss, let's get out of here. There ain't nothing but trouble for you here.   She's coming back.   I know she's coming back.  

[00:20:24] Unknown:

Well, we could take the car, you and me, and drive till morning. We go fishing somewhere and stay until she leaves.  

[00:20:31] Unknown:

Oh, god. I died, and she walks in.   One out, one in.   Of all her joints and all her towns and all the world, she walks in her mind.   Hey. What's such a plan? Oh, just a little something of my own. Now stop it.   You know what I wanna hear? No. I know. Now you have played it for her. You can play it for me. Yes,  

[00:20:54] Unknown:

boss. Boss, listen. What? You've got company.   And I was caught now. Rick, may I talk to you? So long, boss. Missus, you shouldn't have come.  

[00:21:04] Unknown:

One drink? No.   Why did you have to come to Casablanca?  

[00:21:09] Unknown:

I wouldn't have come if I'd known you were here.   Believe me, Rick, it's true.  

[00:21:16] Unknown:

Why about your voice?   Still the same.   Rick, dear, I'll go any place with you. We'll get on a train together and we'll never stop. Don't, Rick. Please don't.  

[00:21:28] Unknown:

I understand how you feel.  

[00:21:31] Unknown:

How long did I know you, honey?  

[00:21:33] Unknown:

Oh, I didn't count  

[00:21:44] Unknown:

wild finish.   Guy waiting a while finish.   Guy waiting at a station in the rain with a marriage license in his pocket and a a funny look on his kisser because, because   a sledgehammer just hit him between the eyes.  

[00:21:57] Unknown:

Can I tell your story, Rich?   There's a girl out of fish. I don't know the fish yet myself.  

[00:22:04] Unknown:

Okay.   Maybe one will come to you as you go along.   It's  

[00:22:09] Unknown:

it's about a girl who met a man she's heard about all her life, a great and courageous man.   And soon,   everything this girl knew or ever became   was because of this man.   She looked up to him and worshiped him with a feeling  

[00:22:28] Unknown:

best stories, my son.   Tell me, was he the guy you left me for?   Was it Laszlo?   Or were there a few others in   between? A lot of people ran away from Paris that day.   I wonder if they all left notes.   You left a note, didn't you?   Sam brought it to me at the railroad station.   I guess there was a love light in my eyes that helped him spot me in all that mob. Yes. I wrote you a note. I know it was cowardly, but I just couldn't face you.   I cannot go with you or ever see you again.   Remember?   I must not ask why.   You just believe that I love you and God bless you.   It's a literal translation, Nelson.  



[00:23:20] Unknown:

I thought I thought if I came here tonight and spoke to you, I could make you understand.   I'm sorry, Richard.  

[00:23:28] Unknown:

Don't give up, honey.   I'm just a slow study.   Call again sometime and give it another word.   We have searched to guard his apartment again, major. No luck. Someone else must have them. And I strongly suspect that someone is Rick. I suggest you continue the search of the cafe. If Rick has the letters of transit, he is much too smart to let you find them there. You're giving too much credit. Just another blundering American.   We must not underestimate   American blundering, major.   I was with them when they blundered into Berlin in 1918.  

[00:24:03] Unknown:

As to Laszlo, we want him him  

[00:24:05] Unknown:

watched twenty four hours a day. Yes. It's 10:00, major, and he and the girl are waiting now for us. Send him in.   Send him in, Cassel.   I do not think we're going to get very far with Laszlo this morning. Nevertheless, there is no loss in making him the obvious officer. Only a lost time. Oh, good morning. I'm delighted to see you.   Mademoiselle. Good morning. Good morning. Why don't you sit down? Thank you. Laszlo, we will not mince words. Good.   Let's begin by saying that I'm an escaped prisoner of the third right  

[00:24:33] Unknown:

from whom no one ever escapes. I do not deny you are an exceptional man. Monsieur, you say third right as if you expect there will be others. I take what comes, major. So far, yes. You have been fortunate enough to us. You have reached Casablanca.   I intend to make certain you stay here.  

[00:24:50] Unknown:

Whether or not you succeed, major, is of course problematic.  

[00:24:53] Unknown:

Not quite.   On all exit visas issued here in Casablanca,   Captain Reynold's signature is necessary. Captain, would you think it possible that Laszlo will receive a visa?  

[00:25:03] Unknown:

And I'm afraid not, monsieur. Well, perhaps I'll like it here. You, madamoiselle?  

[00:25:07] Unknown:

You, you needn't be concerned about me. As a matter of fact, you could both be on your way to Lisbon this very night. But of course, under certain conditions.  

[00:25:16] Unknown:

Well, major, what are your terms? As leader of the underground movement, you know who the other leaders are. In Paris, Athens,   Prague,   Amsterdam And Berlin.  

[00:25:26] Unknown:

Furnish me their names and exact whereabouts since you will have your visa immediately. The honor of serving the third Reich. Major, what if he did give them to you? What if you did track them down and kill them? From every corner of Europe, hundreds, thousands would rise and take our places.  

[00:25:41] Unknown:

Even Nazis can't kill that far. You make only one mistake. In the event anything unfortunate should occur to monsieur Laszlo,  

[00:25:48] Unknown:

no one could take his place. Thank you. You wouldn't dare interfere with him here. This is still unoccupied France. Any violation of neutrality will reflect on you, captain, monsieur, so far as it is in my power. That neutrality will be respected. Are you finished with us? For a moment. Yes. Then good day.   Camille, sir,   your next step of securing a visa is what, missus? I don't know. Let me save you some time. Sooner or later, the man to see will be senior Ferrari,   and he operates the blue carrot cafe   across the street from your hotel.  

Good day, madamoiselle.   Hello, Ferrari.   I thought a supply truck come in. I thought I'd stop by for the American cigarettes. But why yourself? My boy will bring them over. Every time he does, the order's a little bit short. Carrying charges, my boy. Carrying charges.  

[00:26:41] Unknown:

I'm glad you're here, Rick. I want to talk to you. The news about Ugarte upset me very much. Now look. You don't feel any sorry for Ugarte than I do. Of course not. What upsets me is that no one knows where those letters of transit are. Practically no one. If I could lay my hands on them, I could make a fortune.  

[00:26:58] Unknown:

And so could I. And I'm a poor businessman.  

[00:27:01] Unknown:

I have a proposition for whoever has those letters. I'll handle the entire transaction, get rid of the letters, and take all the risk for a small percentage. That's the proposition I have for whoever had those letters. Well, I'll tell him when he comes in. Rick, I think you know where they are.  

[00:27:16] Unknown:

An often starts to think so too. That's really why I came over here, to give them a good chance to tear my place apart. Excuse me, Estenio. Yes?   There's a man who wishes to see you. Was she in last long? I was rather expecting it. Send him in. Is he alone? There is a lady   also. She said she would wait outside. But she will not wait alone. Hey, Rick. Well, suppose you just concentrate   on Laszlo.  

[00:27:41] Unknown:

Send him in, Darya, the back way. A little courtesy for Rick.  

[00:27:49] Unknown:

Good morning.   Hello, Rick. Sorry about last night. Doesn't matter.   The story had me a little confused.   Maybe it was the bourbon. Forget it. You can repeat it now. I'm reasonably sober. I don't think I will. Why not?   After all, I got stuck with a railway ticket.  

[00:28:06] Unknown:

Alright.   Victor Maslow   is my husband.   Nobody enough. And he he was even when I knew you in Paris.   I don't believe it. There seems to be so much you don't believe.  

[00:28:18] Unknown:

What about it?  

[00:28:19] Unknown:

Tappened almost a year before I met you. He loved me, and I thought I loved him.   Soon after we were married, he had to leave France.  

[00:28:28] Unknown:

And this time, he has to leave Casablanca? Yes. He must.  

[00:28:31] Unknown:

Oh, you are so changed, Rick.   The Rick I knew in Paris, I could tell him, but not you.   I'll be leaving Casablanca soon, soon, and I hope we'll never meet again.   If we leave it that way, maybe we'll remember those old days and forget last night.  

[00:28:49] Unknown:

Well, I'm not leaving Casablanca.   I'm settled now.   Above the saloon,   you walk up one flight of stairs.   I'll expect.  

[00:28:58] Unknown:

It will take a miracle to get you out of Casablanca, Monsieur Laszlo, and the Germans have outlawed miracles.  

[00:29:04] Unknown:

I got tired of waiting, Victor. Do you mind? Please,  

[00:29:08] Unknown:

you see as leader of all illegal  

[00:29:17] Unknown:

You, however, are a different matter. Do you think it might just be possible to get an exit visa for you? To go along?  

[00:29:24] Unknown:

Yes. We're only interested in two visas, senor. Please, Hilda. You must get to America.   And believe me, somehow, sometime, I'll join you. What if things were different? What if I had to stay and there was only one visa? Would you take it?  

[00:29:37] Unknown:

Yes.  

[00:29:38] Unknown:

I would. Then why didn't you leave me in Lynn when I had trouble getting out of there or in Marseille when I was ill? And you were in desperate danger every second. Why didn't you leave me then, Victor? I meant to, but something always held me up. I too am a very sensitive man, monsieur. I know.  

[00:29:55] Unknown:

I happen to love her very much. So for the present, senor,  

[00:29:59] Unknown:

we'll go on looking for two pieces. Thank you. I am moved to make a suggestion.  

[00:30:04] Unknown:

You are aware of Ugarte and the letters of Prancer? Yes. Just slightly. I'll venture to guess that Ugarte left those letters in Rick's Cafe. He is a difficult customer,  

[00:30:13] Unknown:

but it is worth the chance. You have been very patient, signor. Good   day. Now what's all this about? A near riot in your own cafe. You don't even bother to get up and see for yourself. I got other things on my mind. What happened?   Some German officers started to sing the watch on the Rhine. They wanted the customers to join in. Well, they did. Except what they sang sounded more like La Marseillaise.   Oh, with my usual tact, I handled the situation further.   Now, Rick.   My men gave this place a rather thorough going over this morning.   Yeah, we just barely got it cleaned up and time to open. As I told my men to be especially destructive, you know how that impresses Germans.  



[00:31:01] Unknown:

Where are the letters, Rick? You see, captain, the situation is not as much under control as you believe. That song is verboten. How dare I sing it? Now my dear major, we cooperate with your government, but we cannot control the feelings of these refugees. Captain, are you entirely certain which side you are on?  

[00:31:15] Unknown:

Oh, I blow with the wind maker. And right now, the prevailing breeze is from Vichy.  

[00:31:21] Unknown:

Then I have been thinking. It is too dangerous for us to let Larsenor leave Casablanca,   but it may also be too dangerous to let him stay. We know all of North Africa is honeycomb with traders just waiting for someone to leave them. Yes. It poses an intricate problem. There is one man who could solve it. Who?  

[00:31:35] Unknown:

He just bought then.   Victor Lazlo.   I'm a very bright boy, Laszlo.   I figured you came here to see me and I figured you preferred seeing me in my office alone.   You do nothing but bewilder me. But you hope I may also be able to help. You told me once you knew of my activities.   Then you must know how important it is that I get out of here to help continue the work of a very great movement.   The problems of the world are beyond me, Laszlo. I'm just a saloon keeper. My friends in the underground have told me differently.   They mentioned Spain and Ethiopia   and a strange   underdog. Well, I found it a very expensive hobby,   but then I never was much of a businessman. Are you enough of a businessman to appreciate an offer of a hundred thousand francs? I appreciate it but I don't accept. 200,000?  

Making a million francs or CHF10? Answers still. No. There must be some reason why you refuse to sell the letters.   There is.   I suggest you ask your wife.   I beg your pardon?   I said ask your wife.   Are you leaving, Victor? Where are you going? Oh, I thought I mentioned it. There's a meeting of the underground. Oh, please don't go, Victor. I'm frightened. Look. Look out the window. I don't have to darling. I'm used to being trailed. What's going to happen Victor? Who knows Ilsa dear.   Strasser now threatens to find some excuse to put me quietly away in jail. All the more reason why you must stay here tonight. I'm frightened too Ilsa but what can I do? Hide in a hotel room or carry on the best I can? Whatever I'd say, you'd carry on.   Victor, why didn't you tell me about Rick? You saw him, didn't you? Apparently he has the letters Yes? But no intention of selling them. You think that if sentiment wouldn't persuade him that money would.  



[00:33:24] Unknown:

Did he give you any reason?  

[00:33:26] Unknown:

He suggested that I ask you. Ask me?   Ilsa,   when I was in the concentration   camp,   were you lonely in   Paris? Yes, Victor. I was. I know what it is to be lonely.   Is there anything you wish to tell me?  

[00:33:44] Unknown:

No. No, there isn't. My dear,  

[00:33:47] Unknown:

I love you very much.  

[00:33:49] Unknown:

Yes. I know.   Victor,   whatever I do,  

[00:33:54] Unknown:

will you will you believe me that I You don't even have to say it. I'll believe you.   Good night, dear. Good night, Victor.  

[00:34:02] Unknown:

Please be careful.  

[00:34:10] Unknown:

We pause now for station identification.   This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.   In a few minutes, mister   nice. Very nice. Yes. I like it. Oh, come on now. Stop hedging. What do you really think of it? To tell the truth, Libby, I hardly noticed the hat. I was looking at you. Well, mister Kennedy, that's a compliment. But just let me turn around. Now look. Oh, I see. It's really quite a hat. Libby, that must be very new. It is. But, well, how would you know? Well, it's so sort of simple. Not one of those dizzy numbers that looks as though it might fly off into space any minute. Mister Kennedy, you're an observant man. This is the newest thing. The profile cloche, it fits snugly on the head and it's meant to frame the face, not take attention away from it. I think I begin to see why you wore that little hat tonight, Libby. Of course. To show that it's more important than ever for a woman to have nice smooth skin. Sure. Because with that kind of headgear, the emphasis is less on the hat than it is on the face underneath it. Well, Libby, I guess many a woman is going to be mighty happy about her luxe soap complexion care then. Yes. This hat seems designed to set off a lovely luxe complexion, and it's going to be a popular style this spring. Then daily luxe soap complexion care ought to be more popular than ever too because gentle luxe toilet soap really makes skin softer, smoother.   Recent tests showed that luxe soap beauty facials improved actually three out of four complexions, you know. Well, mister Kennedy, nearly every famous star in Hollywood is devoted to this fine white soap. Screen stars say the creamy luxe soap lather is wonderfully kind to delicate skin. And that's why, Libby, I'm going to urge every woman in our audience who hasn't tried luxe toilet soap to get some of Hollywood's beauty soap and use it every day.  

Here's a thrift tip too. It's patriotic not to waste soap. And because luxe soap is hard milled, you can use it down to the last thin sliver. It'll last even longer if you always put it in a soap dish that's dry.   Moisten the thin leftover piece and press against your new cake of luxe toilet soap.   Now our producer, mister DeMille.  

[00:36:36] Unknown:

We'll report on the off stage doings of our stars after the play.   But now here's the curtain for act three of Casablanca,   starring Hedy Lamarr, Alan Ladd, and John Loda with Edgar Barriere.   For nearly an hour after Victor Laszlo left for the meeting of the underground,   Ilsa sat motionless in the grab hotel room.   Suddenly, her mind made up, she takes an object out of her husband's briefcase,   walks through the dark quiet night to Rick's cafe,   and up the outside stairs   that lead to the Second Floor.  

[00:37:13] Unknown:

I told you this morning you'd come around.   But there's a little head of schedule. Rick, I had to see you. That's what you said last night.   All this has nothing to do   with the letters of transit, has it? Seems as long as I have those letters, I'll never be lonely.  

[00:37:27] Unknown:

You can ask any price you want, but you must give them to me. I went through all that with your husband. It's no deal.   I know how you feel about me,  

[00:37:36] Unknown:

but, I'm asking you to put your feelings aside for something more important. Do I have to hear again what a great man your husband is? What an important cause he's fighting for? It was your cause too.  

[00:37:46] Unknown:

In your own way,  

[00:37:47] Unknown:

you fought for the same thing. Well, I'm not fighting for anything anymore except myself.  

[00:37:51] Unknown:

Rick,   once you loved me, did those days mean anything at all to you? I would bring up Paris if I were you.  

[00:37:58] Unknown:

It's poor salesmanship.  

[00:37:59] Unknown:

Listen. Listen to me, Rick.   You only knew the truth.  

[00:38:04] Unknown:

I wouldn't believe you no matter what you told me. You'd say anything now to get what you want.  

[00:38:09] Unknown:

You want to feel sorry for yourself, don't you? One woman has hurt you and you take your revenge on the rest of the world.   Rick.   Rick, please help us.   If you don't, Victor will die in Casablanca.  

[00:38:23] Unknown:

Well, I'm gonna die in Casablanca too. It's a good spot for it.  

[00:38:28] Unknown:

Alright.   I tried. I tried to reason with you, Rick. Now I want those letters. A gun, Hilton. Is that really a gun in your hand? Where are the letters?   Right here, my pocket. Put them on the table.   For the last time, put them on the table.  

[00:38:48] Unknown:

Go ahead and shoot, Elsa.   You'll be doing me a favor.  

[00:38:52] Unknown:

I can.   You know I can.   I've done nothing but make a fool of myself. Oh,   I don't know what to do, what to say.   I thought I would never see you again the day you left Paris if you knew what I went through.   You knew how much I loved you, how much I I loved you,   how much I still love you.  

[00:39:15] Unknown:

Alright. I'm crazy.   I'm crazy, but I believe you.   You went.   Those are what happened. What was it? I've I've imagined everything in the world and none of it very pretty. I've tried to tell you. A  

[00:39:28] Unknown:

few months after Victor left France,   word came that he was in a concentration   camp.   And then not long after, another message that he was dead,   shot trying to escape.   I had nothing,   not even hope.   Then I met you.  

[00:39:45] Unknown:

Why weren't you honest with me then?   Why didn't you tell me he had been married, that he was dead or something?  

[00:39:51] Unknown:

Vrtra wanted it that way. It was his way of protecting me.   I knew too much about his work.   The Gestapo found out I was his wife. It would be dangerous for me and for those working with us.   When did you find out he was still alive? Just before you and I were going to leave, his friends came.   They were hiding in an afraid car on the outskirts of Paris. He was almost dead.   Well, that's it, Mick.  

[00:40:17] Unknown:

Still a story without an ending.  

[00:40:20] Unknown:

What about now? Now? I don't know.   Except that I'll never have the strength again to run away from you. And, Laszlo?   You'll help him, won't you? You'll see that he gets out and then he'll leave out his work, all that he's been living for.   All except you? Oh, I can't fight anymore.   I don't know anymore what's right and what's   wrong.   We'll have to do for both of us, for all of us.  

[00:40:47] Unknown:

Okay.   Okay. I will.  

[00:40:51] Unknown:

If only I didn't love you so.  

[00:40:53] Unknown:

Oh, well. Outside.   Wait a minute. What's the matter?   Just for the door close quiet.  

[00:41:01] Unknown:

Hey, Sam. Hey, you. Yeah, boss. What's the matter? And mister Lazo, I found him close to our fellow vendor. Take that.  

[00:41:08] Unknown:

Come up here.  

[00:41:10] Unknown:

Would he know you're here? No. There was a meeting of the underground tonight. There must have been following him.   Oil's men.  

[00:41:18] Unknown:

So he fixed my place to hide. That's fine. He's got some eye down, boss. He cut his hand, breaking the wind, and oh. Hello, Sam.   Good evening, miss Joseph. Sam, I want you to take miss Lund to a hotel. What about Victor? He got his hand bitten me. I don't like blood on my floor.   I'll get down and patch him up. And Sam? Yeah, boss. Miss Lund will prefer going up the back stairs.   I'm sorry about this, Rick.   I've had a little trouble.   Forget it.   Well, I guess I'd ought to take care of your hand. Thanks.   If it's alright with you, I'd like to stay here a few minutes longer. Yeah.   Don't you sometimes wonder if it's worth all this, what you're fighting for. We might as well question why we breathe.  

If we stop breathing we'll die.   If we stop fighting our enemies the world will die. What other?   You know how you sound Rick.   Like a man who is trying to convince himself of something he doesn't at all believe.   Each of us has a destiny for good or evil.   I get the point. I wonder if you do.   I wonder if you know that you're trying to escape from yourself and you'll never succeed. You seem to know all about it. I know a good deal more about you than you suspect.   I know for instance that you're in love with a woman.   It's perhaps a strange circumstance that we should both be in love with her. No one's to blame and I ask no explanation.  

I ask only one thing.   You won't give me the letters of Francip?   Alright. But I want Ilsa to be safe. I ask you as a favor to use the letters to take her away from Casablanca.   You love her that much. Francip, you think of me only as the leader of a cause.   Well, I'm also a human   being. Yes. I love her that much. You should not leave your back doors unlocked, mister Shruti. Yeah. That's right, because there's no telling who might break in. Mister Leswell,   you'll come with us.   We have a warrant for your arrest.   Ricky,   I advise you not to be too interested in what happens to Laszlo. Oh, come on. Stop bluffing. All you can do is find him a few thousand francs. You might as well let him go now. Hey. What are you charging him with? I haven't quite decided. Meanwhile, Meanwhile, if by any chance you were thinking of helping him to escape And what makes you think I'd do that? Because, one, you bet CHF5,000   that he would, and, two, you've got the letters of transit. Don't bother to deny it.  

Alright. Get ready for a shock, Louie.   Yeah. I have the letters, but I intend to use them   myself. I'm leaving Casablanca on the last plane tonight. What?   And I'm taking a friend with me,   one you would appreciate. What friend? Gildsaline.   Now that ought to put your mind at rest about my wanting to help Laszlo escape.   He's the last man I'd I'd wanna see get out of here. You didn't come here to tell me this. Since you have the letters, you know very well you can fill in your names and leave anytime you wish. Yeah. We have a legal right to go, but people sometimes are held in Casa Blanca in spite of the legal rights. Laszlo, for instance. What makes you think I'd want to hold you? Yes. It's Laszlo's wife. She knows things with interest, trust her tremendously. Louis, I'll make a deal with you. Go on. If you would get something really big against Laszlo, something that would chuck him in a concentration camp for years, that would be quite a haul for you, wouldn't it? Yes. Germany,   Vichy would be very grateful.  

Then release Laszlo now. You'll be at my place half an hour before the plane leave. I'll arrange to have Laszlo come there to pick up the letters of transit.   That will give you criminal grounds to arrest him.   You take him,   and he'll send I get away. There's something about this I don't quite understand.   You were never before interested in any woman. Well, she just isn't any woman.   I see.   How do you know that I'll keep the my end of the bargain or that you'll keep your end of the bargain? You've got Laszlo inside? Yes.   Well, let me see him alone now. We'll make the arrangements.  

Open up your microphones, and you'll hear every word.   You would anyway.   Ricky.   Ricky, I'm really going to miss you.   Apparently, you're the only one in Casablanca   who has even less scruples than I.   Well, Rick, forty minutes and you'll be on your way to Lisbon. Yep. Rick's Cafe. Oh, this place will never be the same without you. I saw that to Ferrari. Oh, don't worry. He understands you're still the winner roulette. Oh, thanks.   You have the letters, Rick? Yeah. Right here. Tell me, when we searched the place, where were they? I got them in Sam's piano.   Serves me right for not being musical.  

Oh, here they are. You better wait in my office. Yes. A good  

[00:45:41] Unknown:

good idea. Hello, Elsa. Where's Laszlo? Oh, he'll be right in. He's just paying the driver,   Rick.   What? Haven't you told Victor yet that that he's going alone? He thinks I'm leaving  

[00:45:53] Unknown:

with him. I'll tell him later.   But, it's alright, isn't it? You were able to arrange everything. Oh, sure. Sure. Sure. But, Victor We'll tell him at the airport. The last time to think the easier for all of us. Just trust me.  

[00:46:06] Unknown:

Yes.  

[00:46:07] Unknown:

Yes. I don't know how to thank you, Rick. Say that there's still lots of things to do. I brought the money. It's in this briefcase. Forget it. You'll need an American.   But we made a deal. Never mind that.   Yeah. I got the letters here. They're made out in blank and signed by General Vagon.   All you have to do is fill in the blanks. Sorry, Laszlo.   You're under arrest again.   Accessory to the murder of the couriers from whom those letters were stolen.   You're surprised about my friend Ricky. Well, the explanation is simple. Love, it seems, has triumphed over virtue.   Oh, now take it easy, Louis. Nobody's going to be arrested,   not for a while yet. Have you taken leave of your senses? Yeah.  

Now sit down. Oh, Ricky. Ricky. Put down that gun. Now look, I wouldn't like to shoot you, Louie, but I will if you don't behave.   Under the circumstances, then I will sit down. Yeah. Keep your hands on the table. I'm very unhappy, Ricky.   There's a telephone right next to you, Louie. I'll pick it up and dial the airport. We don't want any trouble out there either.   Remember, Louie, this gun is pointed right at your heart. Oh, that's my least vulnerable spot. Hello?  

[00:47:13] Unknown:

Hello? Hello?  

[00:47:14] Unknown:

Is this the airport? What are you talking about? This is Major Strasser. Captain Renault, I want to speak to the operations manager. What? Oh, go ahead, Bruno.   Oh, monsieur.   A man and a woman will arrive shortly at the airport.   They will go aboard the Lisbon plane.   They carry two letters of transit.   There is to be absolutely no trouble made for them. Understand? I see that. Right away. Thank you. Thank   you. Lisbon Lisbon plane taking off to five minutes. This is the last call for passengers to please board the plane. Lisbon plane five minutes.   You gotta hurry now, Arsenal.  

Take care of your luggage while we wait here.   Here's the fountain Penn Louie.   I think it might look nicer if you filled in the names on the letters. You think of everything, don't you? Yeah.   And the names are mister and missus Victor Laszlo.   Rick, why my name? Because you're getting on the plane. I I don't understand. What about you? Yes. What about you? I'm staying here. No. No, Rick. What happened? Last night, you said Last night, I said I do the thinking for the both of us. Well, I've done a lot of it since then. It all adds up to just one thing.   You're getting on that plane with Laszlo. I won't leave you again, Rick. I won't. Listen to me. Do you have any idea of what you would have to look forward to if you stay here? We'd both wind up in a concentration camp. Afraid major Strasser might insist. You're saying this only to make me go. I'm I'm saying it because it's true.  

Inside of us, we both know that you belong to Victor. And what happens to you?   Well, I've got a job to do, Ilsa.   And where I'm going, you can't follow.   I'm sounding noble now. I'm not very good at it, but it doesn't take much to seize the problems of two little people.   Well, they just don't amount to a hell of bings in this crazy world.   Someday you'll understand that. Everything's in order.  

[00:49:08] Unknown:

All except one thing.   Something you have to know before we leave. Please.   You don't have to explain anything. But I'm going to because it may make a difference to you later on.   You know about Rick and me? Yes. But you didn't know I was with him last night at his place when you were there. No. She came to get the letters.  

[00:49:28] Unknown:

She tried everything to get them and nothing worked. She did her best to convince me she was still in love with me,   but that was over a long time ago.   For your sake, she pretended it wasn't.   Well, let her pretend. I understand.   I hear   the letters. Good luck. Welcome back to the fight, Rick. Are you ready, darling?  

[00:49:46] Unknown:

Yes. I am.  

[00:49:47] Unknown:

Goodbye, Rick. God bless you. Come on. Go on. You better hurry. You'll miss that plane.   Well, there they go, Rick.   I   was right. You are a sentimentalist.   I don't know what you're talking about. You know, I'll have to arrest you, of course.   Yeah. As soon as the plane takes off, Louis. Let me know. Or I may still win my bet, Rick. Renaud, what was the meaning of that phone call? Victor Laszlo is on that plane. Stop him. Stop him. What are you standing here for? Because mister Rick has a gun in my stomach. I   was I was willing to shoot captain Renault. I'm willing to shoot you too, mate. Are you crazy? Gods. Gods. Don't call anyone.  

Mate. Are you crazy cops? Guards. Don't call anyone, major. I'll shoot. I'll stop it myself. Wait. Make the famous that they got. They're famous.  

[00:50:31] Unknown:

What's up over here? You come and shoot. What are you doing?   Oh, captain Reynold.  

[00:50:35] Unknown:

Someone has just shot Major Stratton. Oh.   Oh.   Tell upon Lieutenant Cassell immediately   and tell him to round up the usual suspects. Yes, Jim.   Ricky,   it might be a good idea for you to disappear from Casablanca for a while.   There's a free French garrison at Brasoville.   I could be induced to arrange your passage. Hey. Look. You still owe me CHF5,000.   5 thousand francs? You're just about pay our expenses.   Our expenses?   Mhmm.   Oh, Louis,   I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.  

[00:51:25] Unknown:

In private life, Eddie Lamar is missus John Loder.   And so as we present our stars for a curtain call, I'll introduce them as Alan Ladd and mister and missus John Loder.   Although they've been married almost a year, it's our first chance to congratulate them. Thank you, mister DeMille.  

[00:51:42] Unknown:

You know he beats me. What are you, mate? Come on. Take your picture, mister DeMille. At,   Gin Rami. You just saved me.  

[00:51:49] Unknown:

We want your expert opinion on something, mister DeMille.  

[00:51:53] Unknown:

For you, Hetty, anything.  

[00:51:55] Unknown:

When a husband and wife are in one of your plays, do you recommend a little extra rehearsing at home? Oh, definitely, John. Offhand, I I can't think of anything more pleasant than,  

[00:52:05] Unknown:

going over a love scene with, Eddie.  

[00:52:08] Unknown:

If missus DeMille is listening, he's only kidding.   We better drop this. Well, I'll change the subject, CB,   because there's something I wanna say to Humphrey Bogart's fans. It's a privilege for me to play a part that he made famous, but, oh, really, nobody could play it like Bogie.   And I'd like to wish him   and I'd like to wish him all the luck in the world over there in the Mediterranean area  

[00:52:33] Unknown:

for his entertaining American soldiers. Luck and a safe return.  

[00:52:37] Unknown:

I suppose Alan has shown you the photographs of his new daughter, Hetty. Why no? Oh, and I miss you. It seems I just have a dozen or so around.  

[00:52:46] Unknown:

Pure accident. Pure accident. But,   her beauty reminds me of something that I must ask John as man to man. Great answer? Yes, John. I want to know if Hetty sees that,   that you get the right kind of,   soap at home.  

[00:53:01] Unknown:

Hi, mister DeMille.  

[00:53:03] Unknown:

I'll answer answer that, mister DeMille,   but I'm a little hurt to even ask.  

[00:53:07] Unknown:

I have Luxe soap in my dressing room at the studio and naturally at home too. I've used it for years. Lucky Luxe to be on such good terms with you, Eddie. Now let me tell you what we've planned for next week.

One of the big dramatic prizes of the past year, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer hit   random harvest.   And that isn't all   because our stars will be   Ronald Colman and Greer Garson.   They are the original stars of the picture. And next Monday night, we present them both in this powerful story   of a soldier and the girl who loves him. A great drama made even greater by the artistry of Greer Garten and Ronald Coleman. It's a wonderful picture, mister DeMille.

I'll be listening. Good night. Good night. Good night. Good night.

That applause   goes from coast to coast.   Ladies and gentlemen,   there's a tiny island in the Mid Pacific   called Tarawa. That pronunciation incidentally is from the National Geographic Society.   Pronunciation incidentally is from the National Geographic Society.   That island will never be important economically.   It is no rich source of raw materials,   but the name of Tarawa   has been written indelibly into American memory   in the blood of American sons.   Out of the first group of marines who landed on Tarawa,   more than half   will never fight again.  

Is there anyone listening   who can truthfully say,   I can't afford to buy any more war bonds?   That was just a tiny island.   The continent of Europe is yet to come.   The temple of invasion is moving ever faster.   That's why we have a fourth war zone drive.   That's why every American who deserves that name will buy at least one extra war bond now.   We must not only back the attack,   we must help our boys to lead it.   Our sponsors, the makers of Luxe toilet soap, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night when the Luxe Radio Theater presents   Ronald Coleman and Greer Garson   in Random   Harvest. This is Cecil B. DeMille saying good night to   you from   Calais, Lord King.
