Casablanca, one of the greatest films ever made, owes its existence to the forgotten film Algiers from 1938, which had similar themes and narratives. Algiers, although not a big hit, inspired Casablanca and introduced Hedy Lamarr to American audiences. It received four Academy Award nominations. Casablanca also owes its existence to the French film Pépé le Moko, which was remade as Algiers and later as Casbah. Pépé le Moko influenced other films and even inspired the character Pepé Le Pew in Looney Tunes.
Casablanca is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made, but it would have never happened if it wasn’t for one forgotten film from 1938. Directed by Michael Curtiz and based on the play Everybody Comes To Rick’s, Casablanca was released in 1942, and though it wasn’t really expected to stand out, it went on to be nominated and win various awards and earn a spot in film history.
