"As Time Goes By" is a song written by Herman Hupfeld in 1931. It became very famous in 1942 when it was sung by Sam (Dooley Wilson) in the film " Casablanca "
Casablanca is a 1942 Hollywood romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman . The film is set at the beginning of World War II in the Moroccan city of Casablanca , then under the control of Vichy France. The plot focuses on the internal conflict of a man who must choose between duty and love , between the woman he loves and the need to help her and her husband, the leader of the Resistance movement , escape from Casablanca to continue the fight against the Nazis.
Although Casablanca was created as an A-movie, with famous actors and first-rate scriptwriters, no one expected to achieve exceptional results
- and indeed, the first screenings brought a solid, but not spectacular success. It was considered to be one of dozens of run-of-the-mill films churned out in Hollywood every year . The film was quickly released to take advantage of the resonance surrounding the Casablanca Conference of the Allies and the landing of troops in North Africa , which took place a few weeks before the film's premiere and was still fresh in the minds of audiences.
