Thinking about Them...
The way Strasser/Connie looks at Renault/Claude, though.
Claude Rains and Conrad Veidt in Casablanca (1942).

Even if it’s cropped, this shot of Renault and Strasser on a date hasn’t shown up in such a huge res before. So here you go: click through or here for HQ.

LISTEN UP guys, I have a MAGNIFICENT Casablanca/Doctor Who crackpot theory/headcanon.
Namely, what if–what IF these two were, in fact, our renegade Time Lord hatesex OTP in disguise? Meaning, Renault some ruthless bastard regeneration of the Doctor (the fuckin’ chessplayer he is) and Strasser the dumbest incarnation of the Master ever (regeneration or a stolen body, it doesn’t matter). Like, you know how Renault basically manipulates the entire goddamn plot of the movie and pwns the entire thing? The main important thing (besides the Rick/Ilsa romance) is that they get Laszlo the fuck out so he can keep on fighting for the Resistance. So maybe the Doctor realised that somehow, the Allied victory in WWII rested ENTIRELY upon Laszlo’s shoulders, and on Strasser’s failure, in some timey-wimey way, so he had to come and make sure Laszlo got out and the Nazi Scumbag Master was defeated.
I mean, it’d explain the shitton of ridiculous hot gay UST between the two as well, particularly from Strasser’s part. And Renault’s intelligence and magnificent bastardness and his playing the morally ambivalent little shit all the way until the end, when everything's finally been sorted out. And don’t tell me these two weren’t fucking in Renault’s office in between.
See? This explains so, so much.
