Important Added Info: Note that the original set of lobby cards did not picture Dooley Wilson on any of the cards (they likely did not realize how famous his scenes would be!). By the time of this 1949 re-release, they DID know, so one of the scenes is of Wilson playing the piano as Bogart looks on. Play it again, Sam!
