Noah Isenberg, We'll Always Have Casablanca: The Legend and Afterlife of Hollywood's Most Beloved Film

“In September 1941, a set of hearings was convened by a U.S. Senate Subcommittee on War Propaganda, chaired by Idaho Democrat Senator D. Worth Clark. The hearings were designed to address a resolution sponsored by two hard-nosed isolationist senators, Republican Gerald P.

Noah Isenberg, We'll Always Have Casablanca: The Legend and Afterlife of Hollywood's Most Beloved Film
