The Casablanca Man is a comprehensive study of Michael Curtiz's career, linking his European work and his subsequent American work into a coherent whole. Robertson firmly re-establishes Curtiz's true standing in the history of cinema, exploring his mastery of genres such as biography, comedy, horror, melodrama, musicals, and westerns. The book examines Curtiz's practical creative struggles, his friendships and rivalries with celebrities like Errol Flynn, Bette Davis, and James Cagney, and his discovery of future stars.
