Description

Ultra-scarce candid photo of “Sam”

Immortalized as Sam, the piano player who sings "As Time Goes By," in Casablanca. Interestingly, 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. Vintage candid sepia 3.75 x 6.5 full-lengh photo of Wilson in sweater, slacks, overcoat and hat, his hands in his pockets, signed in fountain pen. The photo is attractively triple matted and framed to an overall size of 10.75 x 13.25. In fine condition, with scattered light creasing not affecting overall presentation. R&R COA.
