TOOBWORLD GOES TO THE MOVIES: "CASABLANCA" - SON OF STRASSER 1

We're starting off our TV salute to the movies with a film that some (not me) consider to be the greatest movie of all Time - "Casablanca".  There will be four parts to this tribute.

Here's the next installment, a theory of "relateeveety".....

As most cinephiles know, Major Heinrich Strasser was the major antagonist in the classic "Casablanca".  He has a televersion as well in the Lux Video Theatre adaptation of the movie.  (I'm speaking here of Earth Prime-Time, of course.  He existed in other sequels and prequels to the movie, but those take place in other TV dimensions.)

As that was a 60 minute broadcast in 1955, I can only assume at this time that at least his death at the end was still included in the production.

But his family name lived on, at least n Toobworld.

Karl Strasser was a sadistic Nazi who butchered a platoon of American soldiers after they had surrendered.  Once the war was ended, the British took him in and gave him a new identity because he allegedly could help them track down Russian spies.

It is the Toobworld Central contention that Karl Strasser was the son of Heinrich Strasser - again, at least in Earth Prime-Time....
