If you have watched the movie Casablanca, you may recall that it is a troubled romance between Rick Blaine played by Humphery Bogart and Ilsa Lund played by Ingrid Bergman. Rick is the American expatriot and owner of the eponymous nightclub in Casablanca and Ilsa, a former flame of Rick's, is now married to her Czechoslovakian resistance leader husband hoping to help him escape Vichy-controlled Casablanca. Fans of this movie will need to pick up As Time Goes By which is the author's imagining of Rick's backstory and how he escaped the Harlem neighborhood of NYC to build his Casablanca nightclub with the assistance of his friend and house pianist, Sam and the week following the Lunds departure from that foggy airport in Morocco.

The author seamlessly weaves his imagined story into the film's tale. The only problem I had was the inability to read Rick's dialogue and not hear Bogart's cadence in my ear.

I think hearing Bogart's voice would be a plus!
