- Everybody Comes to Rick's is an American play that was bought unproduced by Warner Brothers for a record figure of $20,000 (equivalent to $294,000 in 2020). It was adapted for film as Casablanca (1942), starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Written by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison in 1940, prior to the United States' entry into World War II, the play was anti-Nazi and pro-French Resistance. The film became an American classic, highly successful and ranked by many as the greatest film ever made. Feeling they had not received full recognition for their contributions, Burnett and Alison tried to regain control of the property, but the New York Court of Appeals ruled in 1986 that they had signed away their rights in their agreement with Warner Bros. Under their threat not to renew the agreement when the copyright reverted to them, the film company paid them each $100,000 (equivalent to $200,000 in 2020) and the right to produce the original play. It was produced in 1991 at the Whitehall Theatre in London, where it ran for six weeks. (en)
- Everybody Comes to Rick's è uno spettacolo teatrale statunitense scritto nel 1940 da e e successivamente acquistato dalla Warner Bros. Da questo spettacolo nacque il celeberrimo film Casablanca (1942), interpretato da Humphrey Bogart e Ingrid Bergman. Gli autori originali dell'opera, Burnett e Alison, non convinti di essere stati accreditati abbastanza per il successo del film, cercarono di ottenere di nuovo il possesso dell'opera, ma la Corte di New York respinse nel 1986 la richiesta dei due, per via del fatto che fu firmato un accordo e la proprietà era ormai della Warner, e già da tanto tempo. La Warner Brothers, però, per ringraziamento diede loro 100.000$ a testa e la possibilità di riprodurre nei teatri lo spettacolo originale, che fu poi riprodotto a Londra nel Whitehall Theatre, dove fu nella programmazione per 6 settimane.
