But their names are Annina and Jan Brandel. These are NOT Bulgarian names, these are Bavarian names!

"Things are very bad there. The devil has the people by the throat." God, what dialogue! And when Rick saves this girl from the designs of Capt. Renault with a gesture that some people are aware of (Carl, the croupier, Capt. Renault himself,) despite his gruff reaction, you know he really is a "rank sentimentalist." What a great moment in a great film.

When gambling always remember that 'scared money never wins' .... but love never fails and even in Casablanca your problems may work out !

It's not actually the worst time to be living in Bulgaria though, truth be told.

Helmut Dantine was a great actor. He should have gone on to be as well known as Bogart, Lorre, the others that starred with him. It's a shame that he didn't. This film, Passage to Marseille, and Hotel Berlin are all personal favourites. If you're a fan of even one of those, you should hunt down the others, you will love them just the same, I am certain of it!

One of the few famous films where Bulgaria is mentioned NOT as a cesspool. Amen to that! :)
