How the Script and Production of ;Casablanca; Represents Wartime American Propaganda.
This paper will argue - through an examination of the production and script of the film - that "Casablanca" is also one of the greatest propaganda films ever made. It will be seen that its power as a work of propaganda lies in the fact that while on the surface it appears to be a romance movie, in reality it projects a subtle vision of the United States as a virtual paradise on earth. 6 pgs. 6 f/c. 3b.
