Fun Facts:

  • Like most film starts, Bogart seemed larger than life, but in person he stood 5'8" tall. Bergman, however, was almost two inches taller. As a result, Michael Curtiz had Bogart stand on blocks or sit on cushions to make his seem taller.

  • The entire film was shot at Warner Brother Studios in Burbank, California. There was one exception: the opening scene was shot at Van Nuys Airport in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. The final farewell tarmac scene, however, was filmed at Warner Brother Studios again, in Burbank.
