This sonically ambitious song has some rather abstract lyrics that might be hard to decipher. Pink Floyd leader Dave Gilmour told Only Music (December 1987): "It's a more surrealistic effort than anything I've attempted before. I don't even know what all of it means myself."
Keyboard man Patrick Leonard, who did session work on the album, earned a co-writing credit on this song along with Gilmour. Leonard is known for his collaborations with Madonna; his co-writes with her include "Like A Prayer" and "La Isla Bonita." Outside musicians had more creative input on the A Momentary Lapse of Reason album because it was the first one without founding member Roger Waters.
This song uses some bits of dialogue from the 1942 film Casablanca, which can be heard in the last 45 seconds of the track. The dialogue is from a scene near the end of the film when Rick (Humphrey Bogart) puts Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) on a plane. The song title, "Yet Another Movie," is a reference to his - it doesn't appear in the lyric.
