Trivia test for the penultimate July 2024 day.
This is it folks. It's never happening again. Unless you recreate it.

Tell us all about the photo without checking anything on the web.

Include the #NewZealand band's name for #BonusPoints.

#ExtraBonusPoints for inaccurate genuine memories.

@chestas not sure if this is your thing but would like to hear your (not web-assisted) take on the chessboard situation in the Bogart-Henreid game below.

I'm finding it difficult to make out all the black pieces. Looks like some Nimzo Indian. Castling queen side is pretty gutsy

@skua Bogart and Henreid playing chess on the set of Casablanca with Rains looking on. Bogart is playing more aggressively and Henreid is taking a more defensive position.

The band: The Saints (but I think they're from Australia not New Zealand)... so I don't know.

Oooooh details - loving it.

What's The Saints tie-in?

@skua They had an album called Casablanca if I remember correctly.

@tuckerteague
The album sounds worth a listen.

I'm hoping it's a #Palimsest of the movie. Unreasonable I know.
