Casablanca is my favorite all time film. So many classic lines. And one of the best critiques I ever heard about any movie is what Roger Ebert (I think. Not sure) said about Ingrid Bergman's reaction to Bogey: "She paints his face with her eyes."
Narrated by Bogie's wife, Lauren Bacall (who could forget that voice!). This was such a classic movie - the shadows, the background music, such top-notch acting and fast paced action. Oh yes, the atmosphere! Could watch this movie at least once a year and never get tired of it.
Several years ago I was able to see Casablanca at the local Cinemark theatre all restored and better than new. It was an amazing experience. Although it was Black and White,the picture was sharp and not a scratch or blemish. I found details I never noticed in the DVD’s I own. When Bogey was on screen the picture was sharp,but when Ingrid was on screen she was soft and slightly out of focus. This is still today my all time favorite film.
Siskel and Ebert (film critics) on their program discussed whether black and white or color had better movies. They agreed that B&W had by far the best dramatic performances. I seldom agreed with them, but in this instance they were right.
One of the greatest movie ever made in Hollywood.Greatest love story.Very fine location,direction,editing,acting n composition.Hats off to Micheal Curtiz,Max Steiner,Humphrey Bogart,Ingrid Bergman,Claude Rains Nd Paul Hendried.Cut above.👍👍👍👌
The emotional core of the film is the difference between Victor’s and Rick’s attitude to Ilsa. Rick is in love with her and feels bettrayed but Victor loves and understands her and would give anything for her safety. Rick is confronted with the pettiness of his feelings. This is why the climax is so good. Maybe there is another film or work of art which has had a love triangle like this, but I haven’t seen it. It’s easily my favourite films of all time.
Talking about the score, no one ever mentions the dance tune playing in the opening of the Parisian flashback. It is a popular tune of the day entitled 'Perfidia', an Italian word for deceit. This is the first signal that Ilsa is not telling the whole truth.
"I hear those two German couriers were carrying letters of transit." "Oh, uh, I've heard that rumor, too." I've always thought "I've heard that rumor, too" is as quotable a line as any in Casablanca.
Just to clarify, the man was talking about the song "As Time goes by" which came out in 1931 then used very successfully in the movie and became a legendary hit song.
I hate to say it, but the opening idea, that it's love lost and redeemed isn't quite it. while that's a huge part, it is also the theme that some things are more important than three mixed up little people. and understanding that. The scene where they sing Marseilles sets that, victor tells the band to play, but they don't until Rick gives them the nod, Rick, famous for staying out, has taken a side.the scene is even more powerful if you know that except for the principal 4 characters, everyone in the bar was a real refugee.
@@pratishtha1437 I'm not being critical of his performance, rather I'm complimenting it. As great as Bogey is in Casablanca, I found myself anxiously waiting for his scenes with Raines.
Casablanca was obviously NOT made in a week. The script was still being written during production. I checked up and found that production started on May 25th, 1942 and filming finished on August 3.
People talk about how wonderfully written the script is....but there are so many plot holes: 1. Why does Rick accept those letters of transit as a favor when he "never sticks his neck out for anybody"? Being caught with them would get Rick executed. 2. Why is Rick pining away for Ingrid Berman when there's a much hotter French barfly waiting in the wings? 3. Why doesn't Rick just give cash to that desperate couple instead of making his casino look crooked? So many plot holes...so little time.
Oh oops how embarrassing! I just watched it again, and you are totally right. Hmm my computer sometimes loads videos very slowly, and I sometimes have to wait a few moments a random points so maybe I heard the pub date without remembering that he was ACTUALLY referring to the song? *shrug* Sorry about that!
Unmistakably. Great choice for the narrator - needless to say - she almost can't stay in her shoes talking about her great love's finest achievements! I imagine it was a good day at the office. RIP

watching casablanca is, and will always be my remedy for sorrow. When I feel sad, I watch it again and the same feelings arise. Wonderful!
Cristiano Sousa Wow I do the same - watching it now because I felt sad - starting to feel good again
I can't remember how many times I've watched Casablanca, but it's been many times, over 60 plus years. As time goes by, indeed....
Great comment, Cristiano.
This film will be still haunting lovers of romance and adventure a thousand years from now.

you mean you don't?
Not accurate, about Bacall, otherwise yes it is a classic
I am certain have you on this one, doppster (her voice at 3:34 is unmistakable). No matter - I agree it is a classic.

Yes, they put gauze over the camera lens for the Bergman close ups!

I agree with what you have said. However, you should know that your keyboard has this long bar on the bottom row...
I'll never see a better movie than "Casablanca."
Here's looking at you, kid.

Enjoyed the film so much purchased on dvd for vintage film collection

Wow, yet another new tidbit about this classic, thanks!
Wow
A great movie even today
I had the whole documentary on VHS, its title is "You Must Remember This" :)

Very interesting
That's... exactly what he said in the video
A CLASSIC " AWESOME MOVIE
THEY SURE DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THAT ANYMORE .GREAT SUPERB ACTING

My lovely city casablanaca
Your welcome🦋
Película y música inolvidable
Maravillosa. Cada vez que veo la escena de la Marsellesa me pongo de pié, incluso en el cine ( no vean como algún idiota se enfada ), es La Película.
La Marsellaise scene always brings a tear to my eye....
For years I wanted to visit Casablanca ...
Your welcome🦋
@ChaiTeaaddict1 he may have got mixed up with maltese falcon which was made in both years and also had bogart greenstreet and lorre
Definitely!
I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.
Your winning Sir.
Oh Thank you very much. 😂🤣
Love to go to Rick’s every night especially if Ilsa was there!
Claude Rains
Claude Rains completely steals every scene away from Humphrey.
Raines are consummately enchanting but I do not see why you would say that.
@@pratishtha1437 I'm not being critical of his performance, rather I'm complimenting it. As great as Bogey is in Casablanca, I found myself anxiously waiting for his scenes with Raines.
It came out in 41, not 31!
Did you know the film Barb Wire is a remake of Casablanca?
Ingrid Bergman was stunningly beautiful in Casablanca 😊
That was a good hollywood film.
Casablanca was obviously NOT made in a week. The script was still being written during production. I checked up and found that production started on May 25th, 1942 and filming finished on August 3.
Paul JJJJJ No one said it was made IN a week. They said the studios produced a movie a week.
If you make 50 movies a year then, on average, you’re basically making a movie a week.
Brilliant movie
The battling overtures...strausser's germandia vs the French.."triumph de Marseille"

It even has a cut out airplane and midgets!
Midgets ! Midgets ! ! Midgets ! ! ! Midgets are fun for the whole family ! ! ! God bless them all ! ! !

The man says Casablanca first came out in 1931, but the year was actually 1942! An honest mistake, I guess. Good video, very interesting. :D
He is referring to the song.
He clearly was talking about Time goes by...wait and the replies for this comment are coming in after 8 years, damn!
Peter Lorre's part is much too small.
can anyone tell me the minute markers for the scenes in the monte vista hotel lobby
When Ilsa came up to Rick's room that night, what did they end up doing? Anyone know? You know what I mean.
I don't think that they "did it" that night. Rick is an honest man after all :)
Ridiculous comment
yeahhhh..why you no risten?cookie boy!
@tomsurber2293: I agree with you 1000%
