<p dir="auto">On the trivia page, it says that the famous misquoted "Play it again, Sam" is said in "A Night in Casablanca." I just finished watching it, and I don't remember having heard it. Where is it in the movie?</p>

<p dir="auto">From the "Trivia" entries for the 1942 film "Casablanca":<br />
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.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yep, there are many misquoted lines.  I understand that James Cagney never said "You dirty rat!"<br />

<p dir="auto">"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.</p>

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

<p dir="auto">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.</p>

<p dir="auto">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.<br />
In which film?<br />

<p dir="auto">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.</p>

<p dir="auto">It doesn't. I've seen<br />
A Night in Casablanca<br />
many times and have never heard it. That line is<br />
not<br />
in this film, either.<br />

<p dir="auto">I know that Humphrey does not say exactly like that. But where that 'play it again, Sam' appears on this movie? I'll have to check it out, will be back!<br />

<p dir="auto">No, you got it wrong. In Casablanca trivia (yes, the famous film with Bogart) is written that the quote Play it again, Sam is never heard exactly like this, and that it is in fact quote from this film (by Marx Brothers).</p>

<p dir="auto">Perhaps you've been mistaken. You should have watched the one Casablanca film with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in it. You have now probably seen the one Casablanca film by the Marx Brothers and that is not the right one.<br />
By the way, my signature is a pun of that famous line. It also includes a bit from 'Gone With the Wind'. (I tell it now if someone has not yet understood it correctly).<br />

<p dir="auto">My guess would be that the line was<br />
supposed<br />
to have been said in the original script, and this is where the myth originated. The original script was substantially rewritten when Warner Brothers began expressing interest in what was originally supposed to be a Marx Brothers' parody of<br />
Casablanca<br />
.<br />
It's probably just another stunt perpetuated by the makers of the film (including Groucho, himself) to garner as much publicity as possible, similiar to the 'open' letter he had published which threatened to counter-sue Warner Brothers for their use of the word 'brothers'. Warner Brothers had initiated no legal action and had only requested to see a copy of the script but Groucho seized upon it to use for the purpose of getting as much publicity as possible for his film.</p>
