Play It Again Sams Annapolis
And the answer is: nobody. That line isn't in the moving picture. We get the full scoop from the website The Phrase Finder:
This is well-known as one of the near widely misquoted lines from films. The actual line in the film is 'Play information technology, Sam'. Something approaching 'Play it once more, Sam' is first said in the film by Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in an exchange with the piano player 'Sam' (Dooley Wilson):
Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For former times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what you lot mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play information technology, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By."
Sam: Oh, I can't call back it, Miss Ilsa. I'g a little rusty on it.
Ilsa: I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum…
Ilsa: Sing information technology, Sam.
The line is normally associated with Humphrey Bogart and afterwards in the film his character Rick Blaine has a similar exchange, although his line is simply 'Play it':
Rick: You know what I want to hear.
Sam: No, I don't.
Rick: You played it for her, you lot can play it for me!
Sam: Well, I don't think I can remember…
Rick: If she can stand it, I can! Play it!

So there you have it. Information technology's almost like hearing that Bugs Bunny never said, "What'south upward, Doc?"
The plot of the motion picture is quite nuanced and complex, taking place during 1942 in the city of Casablanca, Morocco, which is a magnet for refugees and shady agents on both sides of WWII considering of its location on the coastline of Africa down from Gibraltar. I won't try to summarize the whole thing here, but it has a nice setup and a fascinating moral issue. The setup is that Rick, the owner of Rick's Cafè, a gambling den and general meeting place for those in the know, had been madly in love with a woman named Ilse in 1940. He'd met her in Paris right at the start of the state of war. Okay. She'd idea at the fourth dimension that her husband, a Czech resistance fighter named Victor Laszlo, had died in a concentration camp. When the husband showed upwardly, alive and well, she'd gone off with him without a discussion to Rick. Now, in the pic'due south present, she'south in Casablanca with said hubby and runs into Rick there. The moral issue? Should Rick help Ilsa and her husband to escape the Nazis past giving them imitation letters of transit, or should he just help the husband get away and go on Ilse with him? (I'chiliad oversimplifying madly here.) The husband actually knows that Ilse loves Rick and is willing to exit by himself. And then what should Rick practice? (I become a niggling irritated with the thought that it'southward up to the two men to make the decision.) At the concluding moment, Rick makes [!] Ilsa board the plane to Lisbon with Laszlo, telling her that she would regret it if she stayed—"Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow simply soon and for the residuum of your life". Well, then!
In the story "As Time Goes By" was Rick and Ilse's song–you lot know, "their" vocal. Information technology was written by the American songwriter Herman Hupfeld and was basically his only big hitting, although I must mention that he was likewise the author of the immortal "When Yuba Plays The Rhumba On The Tuba." The song wasn't fifty-fifty written originally for the famous movie but for a flopped Broadway show titled Everybody'due south Welcome that ran for 139 performances in 1931. It was then re-used in a never-produced play chosen Everybody Goes to Rick'southward which follows the same basic story line as the movie. In 1942 a story editor at Warner Brothers persuaded the producer Hall B. Wallis to buy the picture rights to the play, but no 1 at the studio expected much from it. They were certainly proven wrong!
I can't resist including here the actual start verse of the song which was omitted in the movie and is nigh unknown. I think it sets up the ideas of the remainder of the song very well, and am sorry that Albert Einstein missed out on beingness associated so strongly with romance.
This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we grow a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein'southward theory
So we must get downwardly to earth
At times relax, relieve the tension
No matter what the progress
Or what may yet exist proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.
Here's the clip from the movie which includes the song but too the context around it:
And, because I just tin can't resist, hither's Hupfeld's other hit:
Here are the lyrics equally they appear in the film:
Y'all must call up this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is but a sigh
The fundamental things utilise
As fourth dimension goes by.
And when ii lovers woo
They withal say "I beloved you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
Moonlight and dearest songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Adult female needs homo, and man must have his mate
That no one tin can deny.
Information technology's nonetheless the aforementioned old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As fourth dimension goes by.
