"Play It Again, Issam"

Casablanca Plays It Again at Rick's Cafe

It appears that an American entrepreneur has finally succeeded in opening a "Rick's Cafe" in Casablanca. The Reuter's article suggests that maybe this new restaurant, rather than being simply a crass knock-off of one of America's most popular movies, has a certain charm of its own. One thing is for sure, it's more Moroccan than the film, which was produced and filmed entirely stateside during World War II.
