Praise for this book
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"
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"

Fascinating... [and] profoundly relevant.--Rebecca Prime "Los Angeles Times"
A treasure trove of facts and anecdotes.--Peter Biskind "New York Times Book Review"
Observant and astute.... Isenberg makes some insightful contributions to Casablanca lore.--Gerald Bartell "Washington Post"
An insightful, revelatory new book.--Paul Teetor "Los Angeles Weekly"
Hugely entertaining.--David Mikics "Tablet"
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"
Four out of four stars.... Isenberg's great contribution is tying together the production [of Casablanca] and its legacy.--Bill Desowitz "USA Today"
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"
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"
