''[[Passage to Marseille]]'' (1944) reunited actors Bogart, Rains, Greenstreet, and Lorre and director Curtiz in 1944,<ref>{{Harvnb|Harmetz|1992|pp=302–303}} and {{Harvnb|Rosenzweig|1982|p=101}}</ref> and there are similarities between ''Casablanca'' and a later Bogart film, ''[[To Have and Have Not (film)|To Have and Have Not]]'' (also 1944).<ref>{{Harvnb|Harmetz|1992|p=306}} and {{Harvnb|Rosenzweig|1982|pp=98–101}}</ref> Parodies have included the [[Marx Brothers]]' ''[[A Night in Casablanca]]'' (1946), [[Neil Simon]]'s ''[[The Cheap Detective]]'' (1978), and ''[[Out Cold (2001 film)|Out Cold]]'' (2001).

The story's protagonist recreates settings from the film inside a [[virtual reality]] simulation, including a version of Rick who becomes an advisor and ally (both characters are played by lead actor [[Raul Julia]]). It was referred to in [[Terry Gilliam]]'s [[dystopia]]n ''[[Brazil (1985 film)|Brazil]]'' (1985).
