Plot: In Casablanca, Morocco in December 1941, a cynical American expatriate meets a former lover, with unforeseen complications.Yes,there is such a thing as a Casablanca bit of trivia most people don't know about ONLY due to the fact
that you have to be french to figure it out,i think....
I could be wrong
It's related to Ilsa's first entrance into Rick's when she's accompanied by Victor,and even Sam hasn't caught a glimpse of her yet.
You know how throughout the first half hour,they make it a point of establishing Rick's mantra by making him repeat it a couple of times.
"I stick my neck out for nobody !"
Nobody,he says.
The moment i'm speaking of lasts but a second and yet it's so emotionaly connected to the entire Rick/Ilsa relationship,i just turn into a mess at that point.
Ilsa walks in and the maitre d' comes to show them their table.
At that exact moment listen to the soundtrack,in the background,you'll hear Sam playing a song.
It's this one.
The song is called: Parlez-moi d'amour.
Literally,tell me about love,and "love" walks in at that precise moment.
Now,Rick's got a reason to stick his neck out.
Man.
