Who can forget the train station in Casablanca? Though the 1942 film was considered a B-movie because of its low budget, it was still a huge hit in 1942. The train station, where some of the movie’s best-known scenes took place, was actually taken from another 1942 movie.

The film, New Voyager, lent the now-famous work the set in order to help the directors penny-pinch. Another reuse in Casablanca was the opening music of the movie. The tune was a reworked version of the original, which made its debut in the 1934 movie The Lost Patrol, the film for which it was composed by Max Steiner.
