Round 4: Tossup 13

An Umberto Eco essay argues that this film’s casting of Conrad Veidt (“fight”) and Peter Lorre (“LOHR-uh”) in supporting roles makes it an “anthology” of character archetypes. A declaration in this film by a policeman played by Claude Rains gave (10[1])its title to the movie The Usual Suspects. In this film’s climax, (10[1])a man tells his former lover that their problems (10[1])“don’t (10[1])amount to a hill of beans” before convincing her to board a plane (10[2])to Lisbon (10[1])with Victor (10[1])Laszlo. The pianist Sam is told to play “As Time (10[1])Goes By” in this film, in which a crowd sings “La (10[1])Marsellaise” (10[1])to drown out a battalion of Nazis. For 10 points, what 1942 film stars (10[1])Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine, who owns a bar in its title Moroccan city? ■END■
