Trivia
An excellent companion to the movie Casablanca (1942). Casablanca was released in 1942, and this travelogue nearly ten years later, so not a lot had changed in the interim.

Quotes
James A. FitzPatrick: In the native market we find a picturesque conglomeration of people and products, pungently flavored with an odoriferous atmosphere, which fortunately our cameras have never been able to photograph.

Connections
Spoofed in Bombers B-52 (1957)

French Morocco

Algiers, Casablanca, Rabat and Marrakesh: four cities which lovers of old films know, whether it be a Bogart movie filmed on Warner's back lot, or an MGM spectacular, with Marlene Dietrich covered in gold. Here's what they looked like half decade after the end of the Second World War, with faces and marketplaces -- yes, and the Casbah! -- fit to thrill an elderly cinephile.

In other words, handsome pictures of interesting faces -- and Mr. Fitzgerald on hand to shake hands. He refers to them all as 'Arabs', whether they be Moors, Tuaregs, Berbers or others.
