...dramatic scene came shortly after dawn on Thursday when 150 feet of San Diego's Crystal Pier toppled into the sea. High surf also washed away a restaurant and the harbor master's quarters on the 1,200-ft. Santa Monica pier. Beachfront houses in the communities of Venice, San Diego, Seal Beach, Ventura and Sunset Beach were extremely hard-hit.

At the time, the real Germans were locked around Stalingrad, and the French scuttled their fleet in Toulon Harbor rather than surrender it to the Reich. In Hollywood's version, civilization was dressed in an off-white suit: Victor Laszlo, played by Paul Henreid. Henreid is still alive. So, for that matter, is Ronald Reagan, whom Jack Warner originally wanted for the part of Victor. (All wrong, too American, as wholesome as a quart of milk.) But Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman and Peter...
