It was written by the screenwriting brothers Julius and Philip Epstein.
Leslie Epstein was Julius' son.
He died last year, but as another example of the importance of oral history, he had told Louis-Hannot O'Mara in 2024 about the challenges involved in the making of an all-time classic.
I just sometimes wonder if it's worth all this.
You might as well question why we breathe.
If we stop breathing, we'll die.
If we stop fighting our enemies, the world will die.
And how it has lasted.
The late Leslie Epstein was speaking to Louis Hanit Omara from Embra Productions in 2024 about the making of the Hollywood classic Casablanca.
Our final feature film of this week is a story about a fairy tale, but it's probably not one you'd tell your children.
It intertwines the world of a child's fantasy with the backdrop of the brutality of Franco's fascist Spain in the aftermath of the country's civil war.
It's a movie that took the world by storm in 2006, as Tim O'Callaghan discovers.
In a dark time when hope was bleak, there lived a young girl whose only escape was in a legend.
That was Ivana Baquero talking to Tim O'Callaghan about starring in the Spanish-language film Pan's Labyrinth when she was just 11 years old.
Our final story from the past this week shifts the focus away from cinema, but onto a group of women who perhaps should feature in a film of their own one day.
This is our sporting witness.
We're going back to 2002 and the very first Women's Six Nations Rugby Championships.
In 2023, Laura Jones spoke to one of the star players of the French team who would crown her glittering career by taking home the championship trophy.
Nathalie Amiel, star of French women's rugby for more than 15 years, she was speaking to Laura Jones.
And that's where we have to turn up the lights and leave the world of cinema and sport, which has been the focus of our first-hand stories from the past this week.
