  • Casablanca serves as a backlot Arabland: every speaking role - Nazi villain, hotel managers, police, romantic decoy - is European or American, while Moroccans register only as robed street background and the camel-taxi trade of the 'Yellow Camel' company, a sight gag. No ordinary Arab has a name or a line in a film set in an Arab city.
