RE: Who wrote this?
Hang on, hang on. I seek a re-count.
You asked what did the character of Victor Laszlo have in common with Lincoln. David, where am I wrong? Your quote has Lincoln saying "... it is good to show the rebels that, with us in power, they will be free to hear it again." So he told the surprised musicians to play it for us. The point of Laszlo "ordering" the band to play The Marseillaise was to show the Germans that the French were not afraid to sing their Anthem. Lincoln was showing his own character in that the whole nation, even if it was a Southern favorite, could now hear Dixie played freely. (my favorite film by the way, second to none. watched it perhaps 10 times) https://www.google.com/search?q=casablan...RKKYg,st:0 “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |
