Play it again, Sam
Herbert Ross / US, 1972
Who would not want to be as cool as Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca? The neurotic, freshly divorced film critic Allan Felix would like nothing better and even hones his dating techniques to Bogey’s performance in the celebrated Michael Curtiz classic. No man could be more suitable for the role of Allan than Woody Allen, as he adapts his earlier play into a screenplay. The ghost of Bogart presides over it all with concerned amusement.
