Some chemical combinations generate heat, light, and beautiful compounds.this experiment is about as interesting as watching gel-electrophoresis in a dark laboratory. Casablanca didn't underestimate the taste of the movie-going public in the 40's, nor does it now, apparently.As for the principals.Bogart has the same demeanor/grimace/personality range he had in The African Queen (and most of his other films), except here he's dressed like a penguin without the charisma of any known Spheniscidae. Chemistry. This was the best three experienced screen writers could do. So.Another assault on the terms 'classic' and 'masterpiece'. The dialogue."Of all the gin joints."Play it again, Sam, "Here's lookin' at you, kid. Compare this film to one done 5-6 years earlier; "The Life of Emile Zola".
Beautiful, but what did she see in that mug. Bogart and Bergman. Bergman was always Bergman. We've been subjected to these banalities all of our lives. Why the persisting praise. Claude Rains and Peter Lorre were always good as Rains and Lorre. Watch it objectively.
I bought this so I can watch this classic along with my family (they don't speak English), but when I got I found it did not have subtitles, still I kept it for myself.
There's nothing I can add to the reviews here other than to say I've seen "Casablanca" at least forty times. If all goes according to plan, I'll see it at least another forty times before I fade to black.
Your service was prompt and the product was as ordered. Thanks robertkitch13
I've watched and re-watched this movie at least 25 times. Bogart and Bergman were the a perfect couple that were not meant to be, making this deeply political film portrayed in a love story set in Casablanca truly amazing, beautiful, wonderful. Has to be watched in the black and white version to get the full effect. AAA+ 5 stars, highly recommended.
