Welcome to part two of our discussion of Casablanca. We first dig into some great listener feedback, as well as reveal who the big winners were from our recasting choices in part one. Then we go on to talk about the plot and filmmaking changes we would make in a remake of the film. Along the way we discuss whether the original movie is a film noir, including a breakdown of what exactly that means, and whether we would want to maintain a film noir tone in our remake. We dig into the ‘classiness’ of the original – what made it feel that way, and what could we do to maintain that? Finally we talk about alternative settings that could work for our remake/s.
