Trivia The film's producers couldn't afford a real plane in the background at the airport. Instead, they used a small cardboard cutout, with midgets portraying the crew preparing the plane for takeoff. Studio head Jack Warner wanted actor George Raft to play Rick, a part that helped Humphrey Bogart break out of his typecast as a gangster.
