Casablanca (1942), one of the greatest films of all time. And it was filmed on the fly, so to speak. The film was shot at the same time the script was being written. Ingrid Bergman once said that, if she looks confused through much of the film, it's because she didn't know which man her character was supposed to be in love with until they actually shot that final scene.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen that film.

1942 was a good year for director Michael Curtiz. That same year, he directed Yankee Doodle Dandy, starring James Cagney.
