Bergaman's Ilsa remembers wearing a dress when she and Bogart's Rick parted months before in Paris. But when Ted Turner's perspicacious colorizers got a closer look at the film, they discovered that Ilsa was actually wearing a suit.

"I never noticed that, and I've seen that film many times," Turner Entertainment President Roger Mayer, who supervised the colorization process, told the Los Angeles Times. "I don't think many people would." But someone did.
