On 8/4 Stuart said. " In addition, the possibilities of a sequel are often in place before the first on is out (Casablanca II anyone?)." Just in case not everybody knows: Warner Books (the hacks! ) has hired two writers to do a book sequel to Casablanca, imaginatively titled "Casablanca, the Sequel". The writers are Gerald Petievich, "To Live and Die in LA" and Gabrielle Humphreys, a mystery writer (no pun intended). The book will be followed by a tv mini-series. I can hardly wait. But, in addition: there was a proposal for a sequel way back in '43 - Rick and Ilsa lived happily ever after. Marlyn Robinson [log in to unmask]
