[filming ‘Anastasia’] Yul Brynner was shorter, I suggested putting a little block under him. ‘You think I want to play it standing on a box?

[on ‘Casablanca’] I never knew how the picture was going to end, if I was really in love with my husband or Bogart. So I had no idea how I should play the character. I kept begging them to give me the ending but they’d say, ‘We haven’t made up our minds. We’ll shoot it both ways’. We did the first ending and they said,’That’s good, we won’t bother with the other’.In Paris, when the picture came out [Casablanca, 1942], they weren’t too pleased with it. They didn’t like the political point of view. The picture was taken off immediately and was never sold to television. A while ago, it was brought in and opened in five theatres in Paris, as a new movie. They had a big gala opening where I appeared and people were absolutely crazy about it.
