I think the phrase comes from the Woody Allen play [then movie].

But I've heard it was a common misconception before that. Woody Allen probably merely chose the title because he portrays such a wrong version of Humphret Bogart in the movie. Or so I've heard.

I didn't find it from Woody's film either, except for the title.

The line "Play it again, Sam," does not appear directly in the film, but in the theatrical trailer for the film, as large words on the screen.

It's easy to connect the Marxes with the quote "Play it again Sam", like I imagine their mother saying this to their father while they are in bed. No wonder there were five brothers.

Either you misread the trivia page, or it has been corrected. Either way, it now emphatically states the line is NOT in this movie which is correct.

Yes, I corrected it some time ago, along with the trivia on the
Casablanca
page which said the same thing.
"and if it's alright with you, I'd like to drop my trousers and display my Y-fronts."

So - they actually DO update those pages once in a while! I was wondering if my submissions (on other movies' pages) would ever go into effect.

LOL, I know the feeling!

"Play it again, Sam" comes from many comedians doing impressions of Humphrey Bogart even though, "Play it again, Sam" is never actually said in Casablanca. Similar to impressionists (comedians, not artists from the late 19th century in France) saying "Judy, Judy, Judy" as Cary Grant.

Yep, there are many misquoted lines. I understand that James Cagney never said "You dirty rat!"
I'm the kind of guy, when I move - watch my smoke. But I'm gonna need some good clothes though.

From the "Trivia" entries for the 1942 film "Casablanca":
Rick never says "Play it again, Sam." He says: "You played it for her, you can play it for me. If she can take it, I can take it so Play it!". Ilsa says "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'". The word "again" is not used.
