Casablanca Promotional Films and Music Videos
Six years before the term “music video” came into popular use with the advent of MTV, Casablanca was making what were then known as promotional films. Most of these haven’t been broadcast in North America since their original release, and they remain buried in the warehouses of Universal Music Group. This list most likely isn’t complete, but I thought it was important to include in the book.
