Ugarte in Casablanca: 3. Ugarte’s aubade on the avenue d’Amade A rant by captain Renault: “That man is as Spanish as I am Japanese. I also have my doubts about him being Italian. But, monsieur, I can tell you one thing: he is impossible to catch. His papers, in whatever state they are, will always be in order. I think he does it to spite me. Once he presented me with a handwritten note from the Liberian consulate! Liberia! The cheek of that fellow! No, monsieur, you are free to go after him, but I assure you, it is a fruitless enterprise.” . . . #casablanca #casablancafilm #casablancamovie #peterlorre #clauderains #captainrenault #ugarte #avenuehassan2 #colonialmorocco #morocco #gouache #gouachepainting #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #sketchbookart #filmnoir #classicfilm #fanart #prequel https://www.instagram.com/p/CPMJCSHDjzO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ugarte in Casablanca: 5. It takes two for tea Statement by Signor Enrico Ferrare [fragment]: “Ugarte would sometimes invite me over for a cup of tea. I am never quite sure how to describe those sessions: a privilege, an ordeal, or perhaps with what we know now… an honour? Suffice to say that signor Ugarte was not exactly the sort of colleague you’d expect in my line of work. No, he hid it well, signori, but it was clear that he was still a romantic at heart. In other words, a man not to be trifled with. I dislike romantics. They make me nervous. It is never quite certain if, upon drinking tea with the likes of them in my line of work, I might not exit their premises in, shall we say, the horizontal position.” “And what exactly is your line of work, signor Ferrare?” “Stamp collecting, signori.” . . . #casablanca #casablancafilm #morocco #colonialmorocco #patio #sidneygreenstreet #peterlorre #moroccanminttea #minttea #smugglers #filmnoir #fanart #gouache #gouachepainting #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #ecolinebrushpen https://www.instagram.com/p/CPWbA39jMUV/?utm_medium=tumblr
