[edit] famous line

The famous line "Play it again, Sam", often attributed to the character of Rick in Casablanca, was originally said in this film.

This is not true, and impossible, because Casablanca was released in 1942 and this film was released in 1946. I have removed this from the trivia section. --Dawgs0392 01:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

It is entirely possible. The actual line from Casablanca is something like "You played it for her, now play it for me. If she can stand it, so can I. Play it, Sam." ANiC was originally conceived as a spoof of Casablanca and might well include the "folk" rendering of the famous line. I don't know for certain whether it does or not, nor whether if it does, this was its first appearance. Tomsalinsky 09:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Agree that it theoretically would be possible according to the information given above, but I just saw the film, and it does not contain the line (unless some extra whispers it in the background in a particularly noisy part of the film). Mlewan 12:42, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
