It is unclear where the line "Here's looking at you, kid" originated, but it definitely predated both this film and earlier stage work by Humphrey Bogart. On March 9, 1932--ten years previously--Eddie Cantor signed his name in cement at Grauman's Chinese Theater and wrote, "Here's looking at you, Sid" (referring to Sid Grauman, owner of the theater). Cantor certainly meant it as a take-off on "Here's looking at you, kid", which evidently was a line in circulation at the time.
