Description

Endearing portrait of Casablanca’s beloved piano player

Actor and singer (1886–1953) immortalized as Sam, the piano player who sings ‘As Time Goes By’ in Casablanca. Matte-finish 5 x 7 photo of Wilson sitting at a piano, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Luella, Best wishes, Dooley Wilson.” Archivally double-matted and framed, with UV glass, to an overall size of 11.5 x 13.5. In fine condition. Ironically, Wilson didn’t know how to play the piano. In the film, the piano was empty and the music came from a pianist located behind the camera. A handsome portrait of the voice behind one of cinema’s best-known songs. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
