She forced Joe to stay withContinue reading “Sunset Boulevard”

In the film “Casablanca”, one particular scene stood out to me where I started to really think about the sound design. It was the part where Ilsa sat down and asked Sam to play the song “As Time Goes By” in Ricks Oasis. As Sam plays the song, Rick overhears it and runs over toContinue reading “Casablanca”
