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."

This film will be still haunting lovers of romance and adventure a thousand years from now.

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!

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.

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.

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.👍👍👍👌

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.

I'll never see a better movie than "Casablanca."

A great movie even today

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.

I had the whole documentary on VHS, its title is "You Must Remember This" :)

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.

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.

A CLASSIC " AWESOME MOVIE THEY SURE DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THAT ANYMORE .GREAT SUPERB ACTING

Película y música inolvidable

Love to go to Rick’s every night especially if Ilsa was there!

My lovely city casablanaca

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 ...

Claude Rains

I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here. Your winning Sir. Oh Thank you very much. 😂🤣

Claude Rains completely steals every scene away from Humphrey.

Definitely!

Midgets ! Midgets ! ! Midgets ! ! ! Midgets are fun for the whole family ! ! ! God bless them all ! ! !

The battling overtures...strausser's germandia vs the French.."triumph de Marseille"

@ChaiTeaaddict1 he may have got mixed up with maltese falcon which was made in both years and also had bogart greenstreet and lorre

It even has a cut out airplane and midgets!

Did you know the film Barb Wire is a remake of Casablanca?

can anyone tell me the minute markers for the scenes in the monte vista hotel lobby

That was a good hollywood film.

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.

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.

It came out in 41, not 31!

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!

Peter Lorre's part is much too small.

Thats lauren becall narrating

Lauren Bacall???

yeahhhh..why you no risten?cookie boy!

When Ilsa came up to Rick's room that night, what did they end up doing? Anyone know? You know what I mean.

4:22 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

@tomsurber2293: I agree with you 1000%
