‘Play It Again, Sam’ Piano May Go to Japan

A Japanese coffee shop owner made a winning bid of 19-million yen ($152,000) for the piano played in the 1943 Humphrey Bogart movie “Casablanca,” his son said Friday.

Shinji Ichimura, 48, placed his bid for last month’s New York auction by Sotheby’s through a department store in the western Japanese city of Osaka. Ichimura owns a coffee shop named Casablanca.
