NEW YORK (AP) — The piano used for the song "As Times Goes By" in the movie "Casablanca" is getting another turn at fame.
The instrument is going up for sale at Sotheby's in New York on Dec. 14.
The auction house estimates it'll fetch up to $1.2 million.
It's being offered by a Japanese collector on the 70th anniversary of the film.
The collector purchased the movie prop at a Sotheby's auction in 1988 for $154,000.
Humphrey Bogart played Rick in the Oscar-winning World War II love story, opposite Ingrid Bergman's character, Ilsa.
In the famous scene, Rick and Ilsa lean on the piano at a Paris bistro. Sam, played by Dooley Wilson, plays and sings.
As they drink champagne, Humphrey utters the line: "Here's lookin' at you, kid."
