Did You Know?
| Trivia | This film has many tangential connections to Casablanca (1942) besides its plot line of anti-Nazi intrigue. It features Paul Henreid, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre, who all appeared in "Casablanca." Behind the scenes, the film features music by Max Steiner and cinematography by Arthur Edeson, who both worked on "Casablanca." Like "Casablanca," it was produced by Warner Bros. It also features Hedy Lamarr, who was originally considered for the role of "Ilsa," which was eventually played by Ingrid Bergman. Lamar had also previously appeared in Algiers (1938), which had a plot line similar to "Casablanca." In "Casablanca" and this film, the city of Lisbon is referenced as the port of departure for the United States and other points in the non-Axis world. Moreover, Lisbon is the main setting for this film. See more » |
| Goofs | When an aerial map of Lisbon is shown, it does not look at all like it, and resembles an aerial view of the China territory of Macau and Taipa Island, then under Portuguese administration. See more » |
