Críticas:

"Isenberg gives us... a rich miscellany of material that will delight fans of both the film and Hollywood's golden era. His research is clearly second to none." -- Lucy Scholes - Times Literary Supplement "Noah Isenberg brings an appropriate passion to his pop analysis of [Casablanca], along with a delight of details and some savvy reassessments." -- John Anderson - Newsday "Four out of four stars.... Isenberg's great contribution is tying together the production [of Casablanca] and its legacy." -- Bill Desowitz - USA Today "As Noah Isenberg details in his excellent new book We'll Always Have Casablanca, the 1942 film is a case study of how history gets depicted for popular entertainment, but it is also a powerful example of how the Hollywood machine produced work that intersected with political commitment while still holding fast to its romantic conventions." -- Michael S. Roth - Chronicle of Higher Education "Hugely entertaining." -- David Mikics - Tablet "An insightful, revelatory new book." -- Paul Teetor - Los Angeles Weekly "Observant and astute.... Isenberg makes some insightful contributions to Casablanca lore." -- Gerald Bartell - Washington Post "A treasure trove of facts and anecdotes." -- Peter Biskind - New York Times Book Review "Fascinating... [and] profoundly relevant." -- Rebecca Prime - Los Angeles Times "Anyone interested in the magic of movies will relish this book." -- Tavo Amador - Bay Area Reporter "Combining trenchant analysis of the film's poetic and political power with a well-researched and playful account of its legacy, We'll Always Have Casablanca is a necessary book and perhaps even an urgent one." -- Noah Gittell - Los Angeles Review of Books "We'll Always Have Casablanca is a hugely readable and entertaining look at how Casablanca came to be, and how it came to be such an indelible part of American pop culture." -- Chris Foran - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Reseña del editor:

Casablanca is "not one movie," Umberto Eco once quipped; "it is `movies.'" Film historian Noah Isenberg's We'll Always Have Casablanca offers a rich account of the film's origins, the myths and realities behind its production, and the reasons it remains so revered today, seventy-five years after its premiere.
