LAS VEGAS, Calif., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- An 84-year-old Las Vegas man says he has a blockbuster prequel in mind to the 1942 hit movie, "Casablanca" and all he needs is a crack scriptwriter.
Herman Gordon told the Las Vegas Review-Journal the movie never really goes into the backgrounds of its three key characters -- Humphrey Bogart's Rick Blaine, Ingrid Berman's Ilsa Lund and Paul Henreid's Victor Laszlo.
Gordon says he envisions Rick and Sam the piano player in the Chicago mob in the 1930s. They get into trouble with Al Capone and flee to Europe where they eventually end up selling stolen arms to the Spanish government.
Gordon thrusts Rick into situations with fictional characters from Ernest Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and traveling to Paris where he meets Ilsa.
As for Ilsa and Laszlo, Gordon writes: "We see here D.H. Lawrence's thesis that the love of a good woman brings redemption. Their love changes them, they obtain substance from each other."
