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 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, or that "Play It Again, Sam" would be the "catchphrase" of the movie!). 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. Note that the 1949 re-release cards are just about as rare (or even more so) as the 1942 first release cards, and of course, this card is not in the 1942 set, and it is incredibly rare! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good. The card has pinholes, smudges, and some small stains around the edges. It was lightly folded down the middle at one time, but it is not very noticeable from the front. There are stains in the top right white background area and a very few scuffs scattered in the image. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Obviously, this wonderful card can be restored, but please look closely at our super-sized image before placing a bid on it. Learn More about condition grades
