Anyone who has spent years wondering what is so wonderful about this Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman movie may find out now.
i was wondering the same thing before watching cass, sabrina, and the caine mutiny. bogey simply had enormous crowd pulling power.
Come on, Claude Rains steals the show.
Everybody steals the show. The entire cast spends their time on screen ripping the show from each other’s hands and ripping it back. Glorious.
It’s on some channel or other every week. We need a thread that it’s on NOW?
Oh, come now. That one guy that played the waiter in the Blue Parrot? You could tell he wasn’t really trying. Almost ruined the whole movie.
I’ve used that as a jumping-off point for threads before. Sometimes a good thread results; sometimes not. shrug
I tuned in just in time for this scene.
Yes, the movie shows up often on TCM. But they ran a Conrad Veidt marathon a couple of weeks ago that showed the man’s range.
(I love TCM.)
What’s so great about Casablanca. All they did was write a movie with a bunch of clinches in it!
There is nothing to wonder about why this film rocks.
Cool, tough guy
Hot blonde
Sneaky French and German sycophants
