|This most frequently aired movie on television as of 1977, this film was based on the play "Everybody Comes to Rick's." The triumph in the film of fidelity over promiscuity is a strongly [[conservative]] theme, and this movie portrays [[marriage]], [[love]], and fighting for freedom in a compelling way. This film glorifies self-sacrifice for greater good, and promotes doing what's right even at expense to oneself (Rick, as played by [[Humphrey Bogart]]). [[Vichy France]] and [[Nazi]]s are disparaged. The actors and actresses on the set of the filming conducted themselves admirably off-camera, in contrast with other films, and even played [[chess]] during breaks and in a filmed scene.

<br>Minor quibbling about the film focuses on incidental dialogue which implied that Rick had aided and supported the cause of the [[Communist]]s during the [[Spanish Civil War]] (it should be noted that such dialogue was exclusive to the film and not present in the original play<ref>http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~ina22/splaylib/Screenplay-Everybody_Comes_to_Rick's.pdf</ref>), and how Lazlo was an "international leader" of a resistance movement against the Nazis hinting at his being a Soviet plant. In addition, one of the screenwriters for the film, Howard Koch, was a notorious communist who was later blacklisted from [[Hollywood]] via the House of Un-American Activities Committee.
