CASABLANCA MOVIE QUIZ
CASABLANCA MOVIE QUIZ
Casablanca is one of the greatest movies of all time, one of the top 3 on the American Film Institute's list, and anyone who is into classic movies at all will have watched it more that one time because this movie, made and released during WW2, carried an important message, the repartee between the actors was brilliant and entertaing, and it was heroic. Surely there will be NT members who will be able to answer most of the questions without having to resort to use an internet search. For one question you will need to know more about the movie than you can learn from watching the movie itself, and that isn't the "killer question".
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, IMAGES, MOVIE QUOTES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
Don't forget that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) and I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.

It's about time the NT quiztakers were given a new test, but this one will be one for those who have watched one of the greatest classic movies of all time - Casablanca, and surely there are enough movie-goers among the NT membership who have watched that great movie more than once. This will give them an opportunity to watch it again if it is in their movie library, or else to order it from one of the movie sites. I am willing to make a bet that nobody will receive a perfect score, mainly because there is a killer question at the end, but one I knew the answer to as soon as I watched the movie for a reason you will learn when the quiz is closed. So give this quiz a try, but remember, as you must for all my quizzes and games....
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, IMAGES, MOVIE QUOTES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT HERE, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
This quiz will be open for more than a week, and will be closed on Monday April 28th at about 10 p.m. New York City time. Please don't leave it to the last minute.
Now don't laugh at me, but I have never seen the movie. Only bits and pieces. So I am sorry, but I will have to pass, but I'll cheer from the sidelines.
LOL. I know you watch a lot of movies, but saying you never watched Casablanca in its entirely is like an art lover saying they toured the Louvre, but didn't bother to look at the Mona Lisa.
Well Buzz, I can relate to both your disbelief and comparison via metaphor, for I too, have never seen Casablanca, but of course have heard of some of the often used quotes. And though i'm not really an Art lover, i can and appreciate some, just notmy cup of Tea, as more of an adrenaline junkie. I have seen the Mona Lisa, and also got flagged from the Louvre on the same day, what else can i say la vie...
(deleted)
Ooops! I juat blew my own most important rule, even though the comments had nothing to do with Casablanca. Don't worry about your comment that I deleted, there are no tickets or points for that.
i would have to surmise that might have been an answer to one of your quiz questions, and i would certainly hope i wasn't given tickets , but i get what happened Buzz
You can check that you got no tickets or points by opening the menu under your name on the right hand side of the banner at the top of the page. Sorry, I screwed up but no harm done.
But Buzz, the more tickets i get , will let me pick from the bigger better prizes in the back row…
LOL. Okay, if you want a ticket I'll accomodate you.
Casablanca is streaming right now on MAX, so you can see it if you have that subscription. It's been a very long time since I watched it so I'm gonna have to rewatch it in order to take this quiz myself.
Please do.
The best way to have seen it was on the old Philco with your parents when you were a child.
That adds to the warm feeling every time you see it again.
I can't remember when I watched the movie the first time, but I only know I have watched it many times.
I'm a little surprised to hear that, since I know you are a big fan of movies.
Casablanca is known for many things, but to me it is the screenplay, which might be the best screenplay ever written. It drips with both complete cynicism and a great deal of sentimentality. It is a simple story, but one without a wasted sentence.
I would say that to a totally appreciate Casablanca you have to allow yourself to think like someone from the early 1940's . A lot has changed since then.
And of course the screenplay is only one of the aspects in which the movie excells. According to the American Film Institute it is the third best movie of all time on its list of 100 best movies.
I will try it, last watched the movie around Christmas
I've not watched it for years, but I can't count how many times I HAVE watched it.
I just recently watched Casablanca start to finish , which makes four or five times I've watched the whole thing. I've also watched parts of it on tv another 4 or 5 times. It is a great movie.
Then you should do well on the quiz.
Maybe, except that I dont watch movies to remember things like what Ricks employees names all were, or what particular kind of liquor he offered Captain Renault. I watch for the acting, the photography, the screenplay, and the directing. Not so much particular details. I will do the quiz though, and probably get most of them right.
One of the things I enjoyed the most about the movie was the dialogue. I'm looking forward to your answers.

Completed and sent.
First to try - received and scored, thanks.
Unlike Perrie, I have watched the movie - once. Main reason being I was kind of scolded about not watching "one of the greatest movies ever" on one of your quizzes. Looking though the questions, I do know a few but need to watch it again taking more note of the dialog and places not just the general plot of the movie.
Don't be concerned about not getting a perfect score on this quiz - I know it's going to be quite a challenge for most. But that's what makes it a worthwhile effort, and it's still a lot of fun to do it. The previous movie quiz I posted was more of a joke than a quiz - the clues smacked you in the face with the answers.
In more than 3 days I have had only one participation and this quiz article has not been seen on the Front (Home) Page for more than a day. I have a feeling that quizzes/games are becoming to be not worth my eeffort.
Still have a couple more to find in the movie
Thank you. You just got the quiz back on the Front (Home) Page. My comments won't do it.
answers submitted
Received and scored, thanks.
Submitted I remember a few from them movie and guessed and had to leave a few blank
Your answers have been received and scored. Thank you.
Had fun, thanks
Glad you did.
And submitted. Thanks Buzz, this one was a lot of fun.
Received and scored. Glad you enjoyed it.
Submitted.
I had no way to actually see this movie again, searched all ways on the TV and it wasn't available without having to pay a subscription, so had to resort to another way.
Received and scored, thanks. There were many different ways to find the answers. I even hinted I expected some to use an internet search.
Even though this quiz has been wiped off the Front (Home) Page for days, six have tried it so far, and I sure hope for at least 2 more.
It's Sunday, time to get your answers in.
A completely new contestant has just sulmitted his answers, so only one more is needed to guarantee continuation of the movie games/quizzes.
...
+ __ __ __ Add 3 more dots and it stands for VICTORY.
There is only one day left for only ONE person to make sure that there will be a continuation of the Movie Games and Quizzes. Who will it be? Or is this the last?
This quiz is now closed. THAT ONE PERSON DID NOT HAPPEN - Only seven members participated. The Winner's Circle is as follows. This was not an easy quiz, but Split Personality is the Grand Champion, having achieved a perfect 20 score. JohnRussell and bccrane each got scores of 17 for Second Place while Vic Eldred and Snuffy each scored 15 to share Third Place. Honourable Mention goes to charger 383 who got a score of 11. Congratulations, and my thanks to all who participated.
I didn't think anyone was going to know the song for question number 20, but in fact 5 did. The reason I did is because my parents were championship dancers winning many trophies, and Perfidia was their favourite melody for their dancing the rhumba.
With only seven who participated, this quiz did not meet my "red-line" to keep me preparing movie quizzes/games but I will give it one more try with a Movie Game to determine their future. Perhaps this quiz was a little too difficult for some who usually participate.
The answers are as follows. If anyone has any questions about them, please ask me.
1 (b) "Play it again, Sam."
2 true
3 in the piano
4 patriot
5 (d) Welcome to the battle.
6 true
7 "I'm a drunkard."
8 gin joints
9 (b) Yvonne
10 false
11 22
12 waters
13 (b) 10,000 francs
14 true
15 a scarf, shawl, or other fine cloth item.
16 musical
17 (a) Lisbon (or Portugal)
18 false
19 yes
20 Perfidia
What I ended up having to do was use an AI search engine and it still got 3 wrong, maybe not a very good sign.
Thanks Buzz, another fun game in the books.
Wish more members saw it that way.

Cat got your fingertips?
My cats keep sending the same message, over and over
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well, you get the point, eh?
You want to keep your cats happy? Easy solution...
1) Plant some catnip plants. They grow like weeds and it's a perennial herb so the gift will keep on giving for years.
2) Buy a food dehydrator.
3) Harvest some catnip and dry it in the dehydrator. And don't forget to film the cats as they drape themselves over the air outlets.
Well, at least that's a "positive" sign.
I regret now that I wasn't particularly generous about catnip with my cat.
