Well done, jbeany, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Over to you, jbeany.

Israel ?

Many soldiers hitchhike and drivers, including bus-drivers,

stop instantly to give them a lift.

I saw a documentary on Cuba and I remember that there were very few cars and the ones they showed were packed with hitchhikers.  I do not remember if they had to pick them up though.

YLGuy gets it!  It's law in Cuba that all state-owned cars (which are most of them) must stop and pick up any hitchhiker.  The made it law after the embargo because there wasn't any public transport available.

Main Street Station Casino has a 3-ton section of the Berlin Wall.  Where in the building can you find it?

The Berlin Wall came to be hated by many people.

We must remember that because of the Wall,
and at the very site of the wall, many innocent people died.

One does not use a battlefield where many lives were lost, as a toilet.
There has to be some respect in this case,
even though the Berlin Wall was a symbol of hatred.

How does anyone know whether at that particular part of the Wall
there was a desperate attempt made by a family-member
who was trying to help his family escape and there he was shot dead?

Hated yes, but that part of the Wall becomes a sacred memory
and that part of the wall should not therefore be abused as a toilet.

Yes, it was right to knock the Berlin Wall down, but it does not seem right
to keep parts of the Wall and abuse them.

It should not be held-up as a tourist-gimmick.

So's mine. We'll go with an easy one:

We all know that Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman were the stars of "Casablanca". But they weren't the original castings. Who were?

Well, I don't know, but will take a guess:

Spencer Tracey and Katherine Hepburn?

My guess would be Charles Boyer and Marlene Dietrich.

How about Danielle Darrieux (Mayerling) or Michèle Morgan (Remorques) ?

More random guesses, since galvo did not seem to appreciate my first attempt. May as well make them louder and more numerous in a pitiful bid for attention. :waving; 

Cary Grant and Grace Kelly

Clark Gable and Greta Garbo

Brad and Angelina

cariad, sorry for ignoring you my dear. Your 4 answers were wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong. But don't be despondent. Keep trying.

Once again, no lollypop for you, kristina.

galvo, you let me work very hard for my lollipop...  ;D

You don’t mean Ronald Reagan ?  I did not take it seriously, but I recall
that Ronald Reagan and Ann Sheridan were also considered for “Casablanca” ?

Many thanks for the acknowledgment of my presence, galvo! :bow; :-*

I am tapped out on this question, unless it has something to do with The Smurfs, which is the next film I am slated to see. Someone save me!

About Reagan:
 
Several rumors and misconceptions have grown up around the film, one being that Ronald Reagan was originally chosen to play Rick. This originates in a press release issued by the studio early on in the film's development, but by that time the studio already knew that he was due to go work for the army, and he was never seriously considered.

Interesting YLG, but my sources say Reagan and Sheridan.

So, kristina, the lollipop is yours. Away you go.

I am going to have a lie-down after hearing cariad's Smurph suggestion.
