PICTURE, QUOTE, MOVIE #32


1.  What movie is the picture from?

2.  What movie is this quote from?

Private: "Why us?"  Color Sergeant: "Because were 'ere, lad, because were 'ere".

3.  What movie is this?

It was released to coincide with Operation Torch. It is based on an unproduced play entitled “Everybody Comes to Rick’s”. Shockingly, several writers adapted it, which flies in the face of multi- writers signaling problems. Many of the extras were Jewish refugees. It was filmed at the studio. The Production Code Administration had all direct references to sex removed from the script. (Note to current television writers, it is possible to be sexy without beating the audience over the head.) It won three Oscars (Picture, Director, Screenplay) and was nominated for Actor, Supporting Actor, Cinematography (how did it lose that one?), Editing, and Music.  There was only half-hearted talk of a sequel.  Times change.
