From the same book as the quotes.
** A FEZ OF THE HEART
Sydney Greenstreet wanted to wear traditional Moroccan garb but the producers wouldn't hear of it. They wanted him to wear the white suit he was becoming known for (in other films).
Greenstreet settled for wearing a fez and doing the traditional salaam gsture (touching his heart, lips and brow).

** A DIFFERENT LAST LINE
The film almost ended with Rick Blane saying to Captain Renault, "Louis, I might have known you'd mix your patriotism with a little larceny."
Producer Hal Wallis came up with a better last line -- about a beautiful friendship-- after shooting was completed. He had to bring Humphrey Bogart back to the studio a month later to dub the new line.
