Casablanca - Old Time Radio Classic

In this episode of The Shiver Show, we're bringing you a classic tale of doomed love in the exotic city of Casablanca. Get ready to grab a tissue box-this one’s a tear-jerker!
Released in 1942, the film Casablanca was politically charged, coinciding with the Allied invasion of North Africa. The 1943 radio episode of Casablanca was produced to support the war effort, with all the actors donating their time to the production.
Casablanca is based on the stage play Everybody Comes to Rick’s by Murray Barnett and Joan Alison. Featuring legendary performances from Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine, Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund, and Paul Henreid as the Victor Laszlo, this story weaves love, sacrifice, and heartbreak against the backdrop of wartime Northern Africa.
The live audience adds a certain charm, complete with a few immortalized coughs and chuckles, and we hear the unforgettable song As Time Goes By, sung by Dooley Wilson as Sam.
Join us on The Shiver Show for Casablanca, and listen as co-hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn discuss what was happening behind the scenes of Casablanca, and why this is one of the greatest love stories of all time.
