A SILENT NOD
During filming, Bogart was called to the studio to stand in Rick's Cafe and nod silently.
He had no idea why, but that shot would be added to the "La Marseillaise" scene, showing his character, Rick, giving the band the OK to play the French anthem.

COMIC CAMEO
A Chicago newspaper reported in 1943 that funnyman Jack Benny visited the set when Bogart and Bergman were shooting a cafe scene.
"There were about 50 extras seated at tables, with a number of waiters scurrying around," the paper reported. "There's where you will see Benny, among the waiters. He borrowed a white coat and appears in the background."
This story has been much debated but Benny's daughter, Joan, said that she believed it was true.
