348. Casablanca Parody

September 25, 2011

Q: National Lampoon did a spoof of Casablanca wherein Rick and Ilsa spend a steamy night together. Any idea what issue that appeared in?

A: It appeared in Playboy, not National Lampoon. Michael in the comments says: “Story is titled ‘You Must Remember This’ by Robert Coover. First published in the January 1985 issue of Playboy.”

Comments

I believe that actually appeared in Playboy. Not sure of the the exact year/issue but I think late 1970s or very early 80s.

Story is titled "You Must Remember This" by Robert Coover. First published in the January 1985 issue of "Playboy." Also included in the 1987 Coover anthology "A Night At The Movies or, You Must Remember This." I'd opt for the Playboy, which includes a great illustration by Jeff Gold.
