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.
