TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Animator Chuck Jones based the Warner Brothers cartoon character "Pepe le Pew" on the "Pepe le Moko" character played by Charles Boyer in this film.

The allure of Hedy Lamarr, as well as the exotic location of the Casbah, were said to be two of the chief inspirations for Casablanca (1942). However, MGM refused to release Lamarr from her contract for the Warner Brothers film.

Remake of the 1937 French film Pépé le Moko (1937). When Walter Wanger produced this film, he tried to have all copies of the original "Pépé le Moko" destroyed. Fortunately, he was unsuccessful.

The title for this film was the inspiration for Casablanca (1942).

When Julius Epstein, one of several screenwriters for Casablanca (1942), was trying to "pitch" it to David O. Selznick, from whom they wanted to borrow their preferred female star, Ingrid Bergman. Epstein started in on a long, drawn-out summary but finally wrapped up with, "Oh, what the hell! It's going to be a lot of shit like 'Algiers'!"

Popular Dialogues

"Gaby: It's late. I must go. Pepe le Moko: Suppose you don't come tomorrow? Gaby: Suppose I don't? Can't you ever get away from the Casbah? Pepe le Moko: Why do you ask? Gaby: Can't you? Pepe le Moko: No. I'm caught here, like a bear in a hole. Dogs barking, hunters all around, no way out of it. Do you like that? Maybe it's lucky for you. Gaby: I don't like it. And it's not lucky. Pepe le Moko: You're right. If you don't come back, I might do anything. I might go down to your hotel to get you. Gaby: Tomorrow, Pepe. Pepe le Moko: Tomorrow? Gaby: I never break a promise."

"Inspector Slimane: When one can't use guns, one must work with brains. Commissioner Janvier: I prefer guns! Inspector Slimane: In your case, honest sir, such a preference is unavoidable."
