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. Condition: fair to good. all of the cards were folded in half at one time; the card with Henreid and Bergman being shown the ring has its top blank border trimmed off and it also has a vertical fold down the right side at the right edge of the image; all of the cards have multiple pinholes and various other defects (stains, smudges, and creases) around the edges; the card with Dooley Wilson has much wear down the center of the card going through Wilson's face; the card with Lorre being captured appears to have faded. All of the cards have similar defects to one degree or another. While I am certain that a talented restorer would greatly improve the appearance of these cards, it might be somewhat costly, and some of the cards would require paint restoration within the image (I would say the title card, would probably be one of the easiest to restore, and would look least restored after it was finished). But please do not bid on these cards unless you can accept them as they are or are willing to pay to have them restored Learn More about condition grades
