  CASABLANCA 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Casablanca, a 1942 American romantic drama, directed by Michael Curtiz, stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid. It's set during World War II, in Casablanca, where an American expatriate must choose between his love for a woman and helping her husband, a Czech resistance leader. The screenplay is based on an unproduced play called Everybody Comes to Rick's. The film's themes include love, sacrifice, and moral dilemmas. The movie is known for its memorable lines, iconic characters, and pervasive theme song, "As Time Goes By". It won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. It is often ranked among the greatest films in history. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The screenplay for Casablanca was based on an unproduced play called Everybody Comes to Rick's, and the film rights were purchased for $20,000, the most anyone in Hollywood had ever paid for an unproduced play at that time. The project was then renamed Casablanca, apparently in imitation of the 1938 hit Algiers. 
    
  Despite being an A-list film with established stars, no one involved with Casablanca's production expected it to be anything special among the many pictures produced by Hollywood yearly. It was rushed into release to capitalize on publicity from the Allied invasion of North Africa. 
    
  The film's cast was notably international, with only three of the credited actors being born in the United States: Humphrey Bogart, Dooley Wilson, and Joy Page. Many of the actors were European exiles and refugees, who brought a sense of "understanding and desperation" to their roles.

  SPIDER-MAN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a teenager who gains superhuman abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. His powers include enhanced strength, speed, agility, and a precognitive “spider-sense”. He uses self-designed wrist-mounted web shooters. Initially using his powers for personal gain, Peter embraces heroism after his Uncle Ben's death, learning, “With great power comes great responsibility”. Spider-Man is unique for his teenage perspective, lacking a mentor, and dealing with relatable issues such as rejection and financial struggles. His popularity led to multiple comic series, and he has become a cultural icon appearing in numerous media. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Spider-Man's first appearance was in Amazing Fantasy #15 in August 1962, and the comic was originally intended to be the last issue of the series. The editorial page of that issue, however, anticipated that Spider-Man would be a continuing feature in future issues, even though that was not originally the plan.  
    
  Stan Lee said that the idea for Spider-Man came from seeing a spider climb a wall, but in his autobiography, he admits he's told the story so often that he is unsure if it is true. The pulp magazine character, The Spider, also influenced the creation of Spider-Man, who like that character was wanted by the law and criminal underworld. 
    
  Although teenage superheroes at the time usually had names ending with "boy," Stan Lee chose the name "Spider-Man" because he wanted the character to age as the series progressed. He also added a hyphen to the name because it looked too similar to Superman.
