By a train of thought, Capt Renault's instruction to his police officers, "Round up the usual suspects" occurred in that film. The cliché 'the usual suspects', not just for people but for such things as fashion garments, menu items, &c, & as the referential title of a film about identifications, suddenly became current about 50 years after the film's release ~~ a phenomenon I never understood. I asked Nigel Rees, editor of The Quote-Unquote Newsletter, if he could explain this strange phenomenon; but he confessed himself somewhat puzzled likewise, & could only come up with what he admitted was a somewhat ½❤ed explanation.

At risk of drift ~~ anyone any ideas about this?
