Nevertheless, no matter how many times you’ve seen Casablanca there are so many hidden details in the film that you probably didn’t notice. These details are what made the film such a success and this is why it’s still a success to this day. No matter how many times you’ve seen the film, learning about these details will make you enjoy the movie even more.
For example, even though it’s a classic love story Humphrey Bogart was a bit hesitant to take the role. It seemed that he was unsure of whether he’d succeed in romancing Ingrid Bergman! Can you imagine someone like Humphrey Bogart not being able to romance a beautiful woman?
If you’ve seen Casablanca several times you likely remember some of the most memorable lines from the film. But did you know that Casablanca is considered to be one of the most quotable films of all time? This is one of the many details that have made this film so memorable.
You might also remember the memorable Casablanca poster - perhaps you have a copy hanging up on your wall right now! But do you know how they came up with the image for the Casablanca poster? Did you know that part of the image comes from another film starring Humphrey Bogart?
Casablanca is a Hollywood classic and it’s these details that you never noticed that made the film such a major success. 80 years later it’s still such a success and we can expect that it’ll continue to be this way for many years to come.

1940 Hollywood Style, back lot. It didn't ruin the viewing. ..dob1945usaDOC..
I was very fortunate that back in the 1970's my brother-in-law went from being an avid comic book collector to collecting full size 35 mm films. Until he could obtain a proper projector, we used to spread a big white sheet across the wall and invite friends for movie nights. We did this for years. Laurel & Hardy films were his personal favorites.
But he also had Casa Blanca. We must have watched it a hundred times and never got tired of it. It's a beautiful movie. The wardrobe for Ingrid was amazing. The sets were amazing. The smaller stories within the story were entertaining. The history was captivating. Shall I go on? Just a terrific movie in so many ways.
I heard that there was a time when the movie Casa Blanca was being shown somewhere in the world every single day. (this was during the seventies).
What a wonderful memory, and what a wonderful way to watch it! On the big sheet!
"If you played it for her you can play it for me, if she can stand so can I". Was the classic scene that inspired the line play again Sam. I've seen the movie more times than can remember. A masterpiece of a film.
I absolutely love this movie. Characters are perfect; they are so natural and those memorable lines. They are not making them like this anymore.
Great actors have more impact than storylines or anything else in a movie.
I have seen it maybe 60-70 times. It was my dad’s favorite movie and Bogart was his favorite actor. We watched it 10-15 times together. I now watch it with my five kids who also love it. So to me, beyond just a great movie.
Glad to know that both you and your father are a fan and that your kids even share the same. Thank you so much for sharing your life story. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse I can think of a few: Old Mission Impossible series, the old Robin Hood Errol Flynn movie, and Virginia City, the movie that had both Bogart and Flynn in it. These guys were both my dads top two. Bogart’s role was a bit odd but loves just seeing them both in that film. Lastly the Maltese Falcon. Also any other old Errol Flynn film like Seahawk or Captain Blood, Santa Fe Trail.
Casablanca is a classic film. I love this movie. These unknown details make the film more memorable.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse Robert Redford
Still a fan, and still will tear up with the French National Anthem, La Marseillaise. It's a great scene. I wish Peter Lorre had a larger part though.
“Rick! Rick! Save me! Rick!”
In my opinion, Casablanca is the greatest movie of all time. I watch it two or three times each and every year. I think it is a must-view for any movie buff
One of the more important reasons the love triangle worked so well was what you mentioned at the end. Because the script was largely being rewritten on the fly, even the producers weren't sure how the dilemma would be worked out, thus the ambiguity.
I love this wonderful movie. It has everything - superb acting, those great one-liners, the suspense. Those actors had integrity and they were intelligent. I could watch it every day.
‘Casablanca’ is renowned and is justly acknowledged as one of the most romantic films of all time but it is much more than the tale of a love triangle. Of course, it shows that the power of love can affect the human psyche, as demonstrated by Rick’s metamorphosis.
Made in the bleakest times of WW2, this film has so many levels to it that it takes many viewings to appreciate them. The main theme is not romance but self-sacrifice as the film’s message to the world at war is to give up the personal agenda for the common cause. It reminds wartime audiences, many of whom have loved ones fighting abroad, that their situation is the same as that of Rick, Ilsa and Victor.
The screenplay is so intelligently written. It is a masterpiece of complexity, containing subliminal political opinions and messages all carried along on a thrilling plot with brilliant one-liners and memorable quotes, together with comedic elements and contemporary, social commentaries. Basically, the film is politically motivated because it is a plea to America to join the war. Please note that the action takes place in pre-Pearl Harbour, December, 1941.
This is the the first non-musical movie to use music almost as an another protagonist, (which Tarantino does now). For example, ‘As Time Goes By’ is a valuable recurring theme and, in Paris, Rick and Ilsa dance to ‘Perfidia’ which means untrustworthiness. Also, ‘Love for Sale’ is played during the dialogue when the Bulgarian girl tells Rick about her ‘offer’ from Renault.
Michael Curtiz’s direction is multi-faceted: Documentary, Film Noir, German Expressionism, Flashback etc. He is the master of creating the plot via seamlessly connecting a series of rapid-fire vignettes.
There is subtle direction and cinematography. For example, Ilsa wears black and white clothes and is cast in shadows and in a mirror which symbolise the ambiguity of her role.
POINTS OF INTEREST AND NOTES FOR SUBSEQUENT VIEWINGS.
Rick’s initial selfishness, (‘I stick my neck out for nobody’ and ‘the problems of the world are not in my department…’), are metaphors for USA indifference. It must be remembered that the events and politics are hard to comprehend and put into perspective for current audiences than for those living through WW2, not knowing who the victors would be.
The script can be considered as a 'State of the Union' address, both for home and foreign policies, in which there are references to Civil Rights, as embodied in Sam and, of course, the debate about America’s involvement in the conflict.
Each character represents a country e.g. Two Japanese plotting; the Italian on the tail of the German; American indifference; French collaborators; the British robbed by foreign policy. Even the Balkan problem , (still ongoing), are mentioned via the Bulgarian couple. Quite evidently, Rick’s actions symbolise the USA in its change in policy from isolationism to participation and ‘….the beginning of a beautiful friendship…’ is the USA and Europe joining forces to fight Nazism.
The significance of Letters of Transit is a metaphor for the might of America’s power and resources and must be delivered to the right side.
The ‘La Marseillaise’ scene is the pivotal moment in which both Ilsa and Rick realise that saving Victor is more important than their own personal relationship. It also comes in just as Rick and Victor are about to argue over Ilsa but both drop the issue when they hear the music. This scene is rousing now but imagine how it must have felt for audiences right in the middle of the war when Germany seemed invincible and modern viewers need to put it in perspective in terms of world events full of Nazi and Japanese domination and when the outcome looked very bleak.
The facial close-ups used throughout the film speak a thousand words: but particularly note Ilsa during ‘La Marseillaise’ when her expressions show her admiration of Victor’s power and her realisation that this must be preserved at all costs.
POINTS TO WATCH
‘It’s December, 1941 in Casablanca: what time is it in New York?...
I bet they are asleep all over America’. PEARL HARBOUR
‘Even Nazis can’t kill that fast’
CONCENTRATION CAMPS
‘I don’t buy or sell human beings..’
CIVIL RIGHTS
In any case... there is so much alcohol!!!! On this note, please watch out for glasses knocked over and glasses set upright…
The Bulgarian couple keep appearing many times as symbols of hope and determination.
In the bar room fight over Yvonne, Rick attacks the German only and not the Frenchman.
Captain Renault dumps the bottle of Vichy water to represent his rejection of the Nazi- collaborating French Government which was located in Vichy.
Just one example of the excellent and complex scriptwriting occurs immediately after the roulette scene. The girl thanks Rick for letting her husband win and Rick replies, ‘He’s just a lucky guy’, which, on the face of it, refers to the gambling, but, in Rick’s mind, means that the husband is ‘lucky’ because his partner truly loves him.
Please imagine what hope the dialogue must have projected when Ilsa states that she’ll wear the blue dress again when Paris is liberated.
The quotes from the film are now embedded in popular culture and are mostly said by Rick. However, Captain Renault has some of the best lines: e.g. when asking Rick why he had to leave America, he says, ‘I’d like to think you killed a man: it’s the romantic in me’ ; a gunshot to his heart would be his ‘..least vulnerable part..’; when told where the Letters of Transit were hidden in the piano, ‘’…it’s my fault for not being musical…’: on making the bet with Rick, …’make it 10,000 - I’m only a poor corrupt official…’
Great commentary. Thanks!
I saw a reissue of Casablanca in a movie theater in the early 1990's. For many in attendance, this was the chance of a lifetime, even though most had seen it once or twice on TV. The first time we saw Ilse with a full-head close-up on the big screen, the audience gasped. Ingrid Berman was THAT beautiful! She absolutely transcended black and white film.
Absolutely the best film ever. Watch it every now and again. The underlying theme of unselfishness, patriotism and unrequited love, all portrayed so excellently by all the actors and the director, makes it the classic it deserves to be.
I love Casablanca; I have seen it more than ten times!
Watched it so many times in my lifetime that at this stage I challenge myself to memorize the dialogue and hope to have it playing in the background on my deathbed...Toured Warner lot decades ago and got to see RICK's suit; SAM's piano (since auctioned for 3.5 million) and the infamous "Letters of Transit" (auctioned for $250K)...La Marseillaise scene still makes me tear up to this day.
Absolute best film ever made and the got the casting right
What really makes a film memorable is the dialogues, and the fact that Casablanca has so many quotable phrases contributes to how memorable it is. The secret is in the wit.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
!One of the greatest movies I ever saw! I am now 88 yrs old but still like it on reruns!!
Thank you for your presentation. This is a film i have watched and enjoyed countless times. You still get involved...and as you say, every part of this is masterly.. At the time, they were churning out movies....no one imagined the status Casablanca would achieve. Exceptional writers, really sharp dialogue delivered by....brilliant actors Add to this the wonderful camera work, , music..and that incredible lighting....sound balance.. and of course..superb directing.....not to mention the essential icing on the cake, timing.... The result. Casablanca became more than a complete work of art.......it became and still is, a phenomenon.
I think Casablanca is the best love story ever made. The story is unique and the acting is grat as well
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Casablanca. Who is your favorite cast member?
One of my all time favorites!! This was an interesting upload. Thank you 😊
I love behind the scenes facts from movies.
You're very much welcome! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, which film is your all-time favorite?
Casablanca is a very good movie. I saw it 22 times already and I will see again and again.
Whoa, you're a true fan! Who is your favorite cast member?
@@FactsVerse Humphrey Bogart was the superstar cast member. I mention in a comment once that when the Russian bartender was kissing Bogie on the cheek, viewers could hear the song "The very thought of you" playing au piano. Someone denied that. Please check that out.
@@FactsVerse Humphrey Bogart
I've watched the film maybe a dozen times. It's among my top five. Some of these behind-the-scenes facts are interesting to hear.
I haven't seen it but no need, I hv watched Ingrid Bergman's beauty in the countless clips and will watch for many years to come, her beauty is timeless
MY favorite movie. I have seen it at least 75 times
Van Nuys Airport was only used as a filming location for the sequence when Major Strasser arrives in the city only a few minutes into the movie. The airport scene towards the conclusion was actually shot on a soundstage on the WB studio lot due to the necessitated blackouts during night hours as those restrictions were imposed just after the U.S. entry into the war, which thereby inhibited photography @ VNA in the eveningtime.
the departing plane was smaller scale as are the men around the plane
@@ub1953 The plane was a scaled down cutout, but to make it look more realistic, they used little people to act as crew preparing for take-off.
One of my favorite movies of all time for me!❤
I'd hope your users wouldn't be surprised that a Hollywood film wasn't filmed in Morocco in 1942, what with them having to get the cast and crew across an ocean where there was a war going on.
Do your users know that Claude Rains had very bad vision because of damage suffered from poison gas in the 1914-18 War? And he got the lines 'One should never underestimate American blundering. I was with them when they blundered their way into Berlin in 1918' - i.e. a maimed British Great War veteran playing a French Great War veteran giving both countries/empires a supporting role in their own effing war (And Berlin didn't fall in 1918 to Americans or anyone; it wasn't like Washington in 1814 or Richmond in 1865)
Early in the film Captain Renault asks Rick why he came to Casablanca. Rick says "I came for the waters" Renault says "What waters we are in the desert" Rick answers "I was misinformed". However Casablanca is not in the desert but on the coast. Even has beaches. Conrad Veidt, who played Major Strasser only agreed to play the part if he was made really unlikeable.
The "waters" Bogie refers to does not mean the ocean, but instead springs of fresh water that contained minerals. Locations in Europe that had such springs capitalized on them by first, bottling and selling the water, and second, by building spas and hotels for tourists to visit "take the waters" (as the saying went) which were supposedly healthful and healing.
Although many films make big bucks, few reach the heights of Casablanca.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
The reason Rita Hayworth was first considered for the female lead and then dropped is that in the play Rick's lover is an American woman runaway from her husband. This was too scandalous at the time, and Rick's lady love was changed to a foreigner, leading to Bergman being hired. BTW, Casablanca was never "under Nazi control". Vichy France governed all of French Morocco and surrendered it to the Allies peacefully in 1943.
Interesting, thanks for sharing this info. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@angel able: No one ever said: Casablanca was under German occupancy! Howerver, Vichy France was! If you study history you would know that! Captain Renault already referenced that throughout the film! I wish people would STOP referencing something as information!
@@jduwayne1 This video says "Casablanca was under Nazi rule". I corrected that in my reply.
@@angel4everable It DOESN’T! Captain Renault explained Morocco when explaining to Victor Casablanca was under French soil…Because Vichy was occupied by Germany there’s a cooperation between Germany & France which occupied part of Morocco…I didn’t need to watch the movie to know that! The messaging is throughout the movie…But you learn that in school!
@@jduwayne1 CASABLANCA takes place in December of 1941. Vichy France was not occupied by the Germans until after the Allied landings in North Africa in early 1943. That's why Renaut welcomes Major Strasser "to Unoccupied France" in 1941. Please listen to the video again: the narrator clearly states at 5:39, "The Nazis had captured Casablanca". Nope, it never was. Read any standard history of the North African campaign, e.g. AN ARMY AT DAWN or ask any Frenchman or US Army officer who served with the French in North Africa during World War II---I have.
Great movie I have watched Casablanca at least ten times
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. Who is your favorite cast?
Great movie. Thanks for the unknown details.
You're very much welcome! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Such great acting……Bogart’s facial expression, when Ilsa turns away, crying, after their confrontation.
Casablanca is one of, if not my all time favorite movies. It's movies like this that make me wish we had a Hays Code now. Movies and TV are filled with nothing but filth and vulgarity. Movies like this were great, and you didn't have to worry about whether the kids walked into the room.
It was Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa who said "Play it, Sam". Bogie's Rick Blaine said, "You know what I want to hear. You played it for her, you can play it for me. If she can stand it, I can!"
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Not only is Casablanca essential viewing for young filmmakers - it should be mandatory. More young people should really turn on TCM...It's on almost 24/7 in our house; so much so that my 13 yr old daughter now has become a huge Bette Davis fan 🙂
Watched it many times, is still relevant today.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
God, I'm STILL in love with
Ingrid Bergman. sigh.
I can't say who was my favorite cast member because they were all so good.
Humphrey Bogart does not say "Play it, Sam." Ingrid Bergman says it. Her two lines are "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'".
Referring to the release of Casa Blanca, Executives had not idea that allied forces would be invading Morocco around the release of the movie. This makes sense due to the fact that such an invasion would have been highly classified. Just wild luck as was so many things that went with this film. No matter the amount of luck involved it is still one of the best movies ever made.

I have watched many tines. And enjoy it every time I watch it.
Glad to know that you're a fan of Casablanca. Who was your favorite cast member?
I think 🤔 I've seen it 20 times and it is a classic movie 🎥 especially in this day and age
I've seen Casablanca countless times since the 1960s.
"Play it again, Sam" is a line never spoken in Casablanca. It's the title of a Woody Allen movie.
I have watched this movie at least 100 times. No joke.
I have never seen this film. I hope to view it now.
Captain Reynaud was, apparently, not always so cynical. Note that he wears the WW1 service and victory medals, and the highest French award for courage...tge Legion of Honor.
There was no love between Bogart and Bergman . . . Bogie was surly, curt and standoffish as soon as Curtiz yelled "cut" - mostly because he was pissed off about the script changing day by day, leading him believe this would be a bomb after coming off of The Maltese Falcon. Also worth noting, Conrad Veidt (Colonel Strasse) was the somnambulist in the classic silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Calagari. He's also excellent in Korda's 1940 version of The Thief Of Bagdad - the character he portrayed there being the inspiration for a similar character in the Disney/Robin Williams animated version of Aladdin. As for Peter Lorre, due to a burst appendix at an early age, he became addicted to morphine and struggled with pain and addiction most of his life. Claude Rains came to Hollywood and was trying to break in. One day, while looking for the lead actor in the 1933 version of The Invisible Man (with a lead role that primarily relied on exceptional voice acting), the director James Whale overheard Claude Rains' voice during a screen test in an adjoining room. Whale immediately wanted Rains for the role. It was Rains first sound movie, having made only one silent film before. Lastly, many of the extras in the beginning scenes and throughout the film were real immigrants who had fled to the U.S. because of the war.
The best part of the love triangleis that no one was in the wrong, everyone was in the right in their own sides, and you liked all three people and rooted for all three of them to win.

NEVER remake this movie. It is already perfect.
First off: Details IN Casablanca? More like: ABOUT Casablanca. Rushing the release of the film is a plot point I never picked up on. And, I'm shocked...SHOCKED...That there are so many quoteable lines in the film. That comes from the heart, my least vulnerable spot. Overall, I enjoyed your take on Casablanca trivia.
My favorite all time Movie
I must have seen it 35 times, had the book with the complete script.
IMO Casablanca is still the greatest film ever made!
Glad to know that you're a fan of Casablanca! Who is your favorite cast member?
@@FactsVerse They ALL were great! Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henried, Sidney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Conrad Veit, Dooley Wilson, Madeleine LaBeau, etc…But Claud Reins held the picture together…They all were good! That’s what makes this picture a classic! IMO the best movie ever made…It’s hard to distinguish just one…
Woody Allen was well aware of the original quote, "Play it, Sam." His movie's title was a new question.
One line Rick says "...those are the NEW (German) 77s" [artillery guns]; it was an 88 (An multi-purpose MOSTLY anti-aircraft flak gun sometimes used as an anti-tank gun). There was a FRENCH 75 mm field gun that was very popular back then and sometimes the German Wehrmacht used them: NOT 77s.
My being Black, I hated when Ilsa/Ingrid Bergman call Sam 'BOY' ("...Ask the boy at the piano to come here"); once I can get past this part, THEN (!) I can enjoy the rest of the movie!
P.S. MY FAVORITE (!!!) MOVIE. "Here's lookin' at you kid" My favorite MOVIE line!
It isn't essential today because today they can make any crap and it'll make a profit. Casablanca is art.
I am 91 Korean War Vet - I Know War Best Movie Ever Made
"If you have seen it once or several times" - several? Better make than "many" or "dozens of". Who would stop watching it again and again after just "several" times?
Casablanca is still one of the best movies ever made. The story is good and the characters are interesting. The quotable lines are amazing such as "Round up the usual suspects" and "I'm shocked that there is gambling here" followed by "Here is your winnings". Casablanca tells it's story in 102 minutes while the favorite for this year's best picture OSCAR, Oppenheimer runs for 180 minutes. I found Oppenheimer to be bloated and slow in parts and needed more editing. There are no slow parts in Casablanca and I am riveted to the screen for the whole time. That is why Casablanca is a classic and Oppenheimer will not be. I can watch Casablanca over and over again but can sit through Oppenheimer only once.
Absolutely! We feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
It is so ironic that the narrator's name is Tim Blane. 😉
Clark Gable was under contract to MGM AND had joined the Army Air Corps following his wife Carole Lombards death. He was NEVER considered for the role of Rick.
I think the way it went you played it for her you can play for me play it one of my favorite movies
Have watched at least “22” times.

Check out the train station scene. It’s pouring rain! Rick and Sam are soaking wet. But, in an instant, Rick goes from wet to bone dry!
5:35 Nazis had captured Casablanca?? From what I remember about history, German troops were never in Casablanca. The studio was in a rush to release the film simply because of Op. Torch. Torch took place on Nov. 10, '42, and the film was released about one month later. What an exciting time.
I think it a great film to interduce young people to the history of ww2. The love story holds their attention. as it hints on the atrocity's that the Nazis did against their enemies.

There is a strange rumour that Jack Benny makes a brief, uncredited appearance in Casablanca. Could there be any truth to this? Does anyone know where he might appear? Well, just reporting something I've read...
he is a waiter in one scene, in the background. If true. that's all I know.
Love this movie. My favorite.
Claude Rains steals so many screens. The Captain Ranault is an interesting character. He is on the surface a charming man. On the take. A serial rapist. A puppet for the Germans. Sometimes his character makes me ill.
I love watching my favorite classic B&W Hollywood movies in B&W. Ted Turner’s network colorized a number of these movies. I was against this. Young people by and large won’t watch B&W movies so they had to colorize the film. I watched the movie in color. Sacrilege.! I enjoyed the movie in color too.
Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
of course i remember Paris you wore blue ......
Pretty obvious that the movie couldn't be shot in the actual Casablanca. Not only was Morocco "still a French colony at the time," it was a French colony under the Nazi-collaborationist Vichy government. An American movie, especially an anti-Nazi/anti-Vichy one, could hardly have been filmed there.
A few fun facts: Dooley Wilson, "Sam", couldn't play the piano.
The final scene shows an airplane in the background with some ground crew around it. However, there wasn't enough depth to show what they needed so they built a suitably sized airplane mock-up and surrounded it with children in coveralls.
The song the German officers were singing, to be drowned out by the French singing, is called "The Watch On The Rhine,"
This was Conrad Veidt's last film, he died about the time of its release. He had a bad heart. He was also an ardent anti-Nazi.
In the Hitchcock movie, "Notorious" Bergman played Claude Rains' daughter. Rains was very short and Bergman towered over him. In one scene he is walking along with her, apparently taller than her. Rains is actually walking on a plank raised up by buckets, or something. Rains also played Lon Chaney Jr.'s father in "Wolf Man." Chaney, of course, is a big beefy guy. He played "Lenny" in "Of Mice and Men," I've always wondered what Claude Rains' wife was like, for him to have a strapping son like Chaney.
I forgot something. During the film Rick said about Paris, "the Germans wore grey, you wore blue." In the Paris flashback, she's wearing a tweed suit.
Thank you so much for this fun fact about Dooley! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
In Notorious, Ingrid played Rain's wife not his daughter... just wanted to let you know 😌
Sorry my dear. Bergman was married to Claude Rains I Notorious.
Detail #21: Paul Henried delivers one of cinema’s most dour, wooden performances for a co-leading man.
the literal translation of casablanca is white house.
Duh,
no shite Sherlock
I am old ,and it happen I watched this movie for the first time about the month ago at TCM ,the reason I never watched movie was I really don’t care for Humphrey Bogart , to me he is not good looking the tune of his voice not pleasant and short for American movies star. The lucky lady in the movie was portrayed perfectly and for the first time you see how this tow man love her so much they become self less ,and they want her safety the most . That was touching . Clark Gable would be perfect.Romantic, playful , good looking .America has lots of wrong ICON ! And by the way his wife was over rated too .and when he plays opposite off Audrie Heparin at Sabrina ,you would notice that Icon has great agent to promote him.

Fun fact: Vichy France fought allied forces in Africa during the second world war.
Dozen times.
"Play it again Sam" is not a line from Casablanca. Bogart never said that.
He actually said ... "If you played it for her you can play it for me, if she can stand so can I"
Was Casablanca filmed on location?? Uh right, in 1941-2? In North Africa during WW2? Hilarious question.
It’s not Curtis.
COME ON--the Director was Michael CUR- TEEZ, not "Michael Curtis"
That's not how he said it though, he didn't say play it again Sam. Get it right.
240 times and counting!
You're a true fan!
IMO, the movie wouldn't have worked nearly as well if Ilsa had stayed with Rick. Beside the adultery issue, the movie is about sacrifice for a greater cause. If she had stayed with Rick, she would have been betraying Lazlo, who was working for freedom And Rick wouldn't have been drawn back into the struggle against Nazism. It would have been just a bad ending.
lazlo forever forever lazlo
You are trying to tell us things we didn’t notice when you can’t even pronounce Casablanca or Curtiz correctly.
I love the part when bogart tells the piano man: play it again Sam That part makes me goosebumps & cry
but he never said it!
The first minute is banal in the extreme - not noticing that Ilsa was in love with two men ? Really ???
