Casablanca is “not one movie,” Umberto Eco once quipped; “it is ‘movies.’” Film historian Noah Isenberg’s We’ll Always Have Casablanca offers a rich account of the film’s origins, the myths and realities behind its production, and the reasons it remains so revered today, over seventy-five years after its premiere.
Noah Isenberg holds the Charles Sapp Centennial Chair at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of the best-selling We’ll Always Have Casablanca, the editor of Billy Wilder on Assignment, and the recipient of awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and others. He lives in New York.
