Sakall (as Carl), Dooley Wilson (as Sam), Madeleine LeBeau (as Yvonne), Leonid Kinskey (as Sascha), John Qualen (as Berger), Marcel Dalio (as Emil, the croupier at the roulette wheel), Corinna Mura (as the cabaret singer who plays the guitar and sings "La Marseillaise"), Helmut Dantine (as the young man playing roulette), and Joy Page (as Dantine's girlfriend, who is willing to sleep with Rains) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that in addition to the regular Spanish herald created for this movie, special heralds were created that were "faux" passports of the lead stars (we know that there was one created for Ingrid Bergman and one for Paul Henreid, and there may or may not have been others created as well). The "passport" has a picture of Ingrid Bergman, and she is NOT named with her character name in the movie (Ilsa Lund), but rather her own name, and instead of simply "Ingrid Bergman", it is written as "Ingrid Bergman Lindstrom", which was her full married name at the time! There is a date on the passport of March 17, 1942, which is several months from before the movie was released anywhere, and we are not sure why that would be. We have only previously auctioned one example of this special Ingrid Bergman "passport" style Spanish herald (it sold for $549), but we have seen another auction that sold the Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid ones as a pair, and those reportedly sold together for $7,800! If anyone knows more about these special heralds, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: fair to good. There is much staining scattered throughout, but fortunately not on Bergman's image. Obviously, this can be restored, but bear in mind the staining and look at our super-sized images before bidding.
