** While UsefulNotes/WorldWarII continues to be a popular setting for movies, ''Casablanca'' assumes you have a greater awareness of the intricacies of the time period than most people have today. For example, the movie simply assumes that you're familiar with the UsefulNotes/SpanishCivilWar, which is quite a bit more obscure now than it was in 1942. On another note, the way the characters talk about "concentration camps" seems rather callous if you don't take into account that the film was made before the full reality of UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust was exposed.

** While UsefulNotes/WorldWarII continues to be a popular setting for movies, ''Casablanca'' assumes you have a greater awareness of the intricacies of the time period than most people have today. For example, the movie simply assumes that you're familiar with the UsefulNotes/SpanishCivilWar, which is quite a bit more obscure now than it was in 1942. The distinction between occupied and unoccupied France is not often remembered nowadays because it was, to be fair, mostly a legal fiction, but the movie just assumes that you're already familiar with it, and it's a major plot point as well.[[note]]At the time, "unoccupied France" meant Vichy France, which was nominally independent of Germany. The reason Major Strasser can't just arrest Lazlo in Casablanca is that it would undermine the legal fiction of Vichy France totally not being a German puppet.[[/note]] On another note, the way the characters talk about "concentration camps" seems rather callous if you don't take into account that the film was made before the full reality of UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust was exposed.

Added DiffLines:
* OnceOriginalNowCommon: There's a contingent of movie fans and critics - viewing the plot as contrived and the production values rather common - who cannot comprehend the sheer ''love'' people have for this film when it comes to the performances and witty banter. Granted, a lot of romantic thrillers post-''Casablanca'' [[FollowTheLeader tried to repeat the same script]] but could never recapture the spark of this film.

* BeamMeUpScotty: You'll hear people imitating Bogie say "What's a nice kid like you doing in a place like this?", supposedly what Rick said to Annina. This is actually the title of a 1963 experimental short by Creator/MartinScorsese. Bogie's line was "How'd you get in here? You're underage." (Annina was probably 18, as her actress Joy Page was, so Rick's must have a 21+ age limit.)
