On November 26, 1942, Michael Curtiz’s CASABLANCA enjoyed its world premiere at the Hollywood Theatre in New York City; it will go on to become one of the most beloved Hollywood movies in history. #OnThisDay the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

"Casablanca" in (vomitable) color

You are not looking at a fan's armature hobbyist project, nor something AI generated. This is the official, professional colorization by Ted Turner's company, unleashed on the unsuspecting public in 1988.

I want you all to share in my pain.

The very first image we're greeted with is this lollypop logo:

...my thoughts exactly.

Look at the laziness of this coloring job. It's like they selected colors at random, and just covered characters' entire outfits in them. My amateur Photoshop colorizations from college had more thought put into them!

But it gets worse.

...from Sam's "Rocky Horror" worthy suit...

...to Captain Renault's Fruit-by-the-Foot ribbons, to...

Ugarte contemplating whether his cheese curd suit was appropriate for Rick's Cafe.

"Signor Ugarte, you are under arrest for wearing that...thing."

But Ugarte's not the only one who looks like a bottle of mustard. Someone in the coloring department really loved that ugly shade of Craft yellow.

...is this Casablanca, or the Wisconsin Cheese Festival?

Because of that one line about Ilsa wearing blue on the day the Nazis marched into France, the color supervisor decided that Ilsa should only wear blue--except of course, for her cheese blouse previously shown.

A PROFESSIONAL. COLORING JOB.

Propaganda for "As Time Goes By": "It's 'the' song from Casablanca. the melody is unforgettable."

Propaganda for "The Jean Genie": none

#np Dooley Wilson - As Time Goes By

[soapkaars]

Based on this sketch, and on the idea of the Casablanca cast getting transported/isekai’d to a fantasy realm, and me wanting an excuse to draw 17th century inspired clothing - voilà

From left to right: Ugarte dressed up nicely with the assasin’s guild emblem next to him, Rick and Sam in their 17th century tuxedos and the emblem of Sam’s café/tavern in between them, Captain Renault as flashy as he deserves to be with the guardsman’s emblem, and Ilsa Lund with her coat of arms. It was a fun drawing this!

What if Donald Trump rewrote "Casablanca?"

Strasser is now the protagonist and hero

Rick's Café now serves dogs and cats as delicacies to his refugee patrons

Victor Laszlo is portrayed as a loser who no one respects, because Trump "likes the war heroes who weren't captured"

Ilsa Lund is a childless cat-lady, desperate to get Rick to return her and Victor's two Persians, named Visa and Transit Letter, before they're put into a stew

The stroy involves Detective Strasser solving the mystery of when Sam turned Black. "I remember in Paris he wasn't Black, and then in Casablanca he was Black. But it makes no difference to me, whatever he wants to be..."

Signor Ugarte, a foreign immigrant criminal, is arrested and taken to prison; the following day, Captain Renault introduces the café to Signorita Ugarte. ("Rick, I hope you're impressed with my D-cups now!")

Jan Brandel is at the Roulette wheel, trying to win a dalmatian for his an Annina's dinner. Renault is trying to sexually blackmail Annina with the promise of a fresh St. Bernard. "But will he keep his word?"

Victor Laszlo is eventually arrested by Renault as well, and boards the plane at the end as Victoria Laszlo

The film will have concepts of a plot.
