The object of this book is to present a detailed summary of many aspects of the making of the legendary film Casablanca.  This summary includes a brief history of the Warner Brothers studio, the life of Jack Warner, short biographies of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, and the traumatic story of the writing Casablanca’s screenplay.  Although at first glance, this book seems to be a classic coffee-table book, its contents and writing style do much to differentiate it from this rather superficial genre.  Lebo seems to desperately search for a middle ground between the aesthetically pleasing use of pictures in his book and the more academic use of detailed analysis and quotation.  By blending the two styles, Lebo creates a book that is stimulating both visually and intellectually.  Casablanca Behind the Scenes’ is relevant to this film’s analysis because it gives a detailed summary of the behind the scenes drama and controversy inherent to the making of the now legendary film.   This analysis particularly shows the inner workings of the Hollywood studio system and gives examples of the system’s advantages and faults.
