'Casablanca' is the source of so many quotes still in common use today, including 'Round up the usual suspects', 'I'm just a poor corrupt police official', 'Of all the gin-joints...', the oft-misquoted 'Play it again, Sam', 'Here's looking at you, kid', and, of course, 'This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship'. I'm glad you recognized ingrid Bergman as Ilsa. She played the missionary Greta Ohlsson in 'Murder on the Orient Express'. My favorite bit is the German couple practicing their English: 'What watch is it?' 'Ten watch.' 'Such much?' In German, 'Uhr' means both 'hour' and 'watch'. Louis dumps the bottle of Vichy water in the trash when he realizes what he's holding. Vichy was the seat of the puppet government set up by the Nazis to control France.

[@torontomame]

The scene where the bar patrons sing "La Marseilles" to drown out the Germans is especially poignant when you know that many of the extras and supporting actors in the film (including the actress who played Yvonne) were Europeans who themselves left their homelands to escape German invasion. A lot of the tears you see onscreen were real.

[@DanielOrme]

An irony on top of that was the casting of Conrad Veidt as the Nazi Major Strasser. Veidt was one of the greatest actors and stars in German films, going back to the silent era. He was fiercely and outspokenly anti-Nazi, even before they took power. When they took control in 1933, he immediately left Germany, first going to England, later to the USA, where he often played Nazis.

[@melenatorr]

@@DanielOrme Here's a very nice TCM filler about Veidt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6e5e3yDrLuNlbM

The young Bulgarian girl isn't propositioning Rick: Renault likes to use his position to sleep with women. He has told her he will give her a visa if she sleeps with him. That is what the young Bulgarian girl is explaining to Rick. And she is distraught about cheating on her husband with Renault to save their lives. It's one of the very many corruptions that are happening in Casablanca. The scene is important because it strikes close to home to Rick right now, and it's his first move toward becoming the Rick he used to be.

[@ScenecrlyK.S.O.]

Yeah - she is asking a strange man to advise her on another strange man, it seemed questionable to me - that was why I was confused as to her honesty and motive. By the time Rick helped them, it became clear.

[@flarrfan]

@@ScenecrlyK.S.O. It's also foreshadowing the ending, when Rick finally decides to stick his neck out for someone and something...

and the writing, and the cinematography, and the acting, and, and...

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

@@flarrfan absolutely!

[@chrisgrethlein6196]

You are remembering right about the cartoons! Warner brothers made cartoons, and sometimes they used likenesses of famous actors who were under contract to the studio, such as Humphrey Bogart, the star of this film, and Peter Lorre, the bug-eyed actor you mentioned. By the way, the other characters you were trying to remember were Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and the Roadrunner!

[@larrystuder8543]

Was gonna comment on that. There is a Looney Tune, I think, that features caricatures of Hollywood stars including Peter Lorre (Ugarte) and Humphrey Bogart (Rick.)

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Also, Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, and Sidney Greenstreet were widely utilized celebrities by impressionists and impersonators. I knew who Humphrey Bogart was before I had ever seen him in a movie thanks to Rich Little.😁

[@AstroXeno]

Bugs Bunny quotes Humphrey Bogart a lot, too.

[@arandomnamegoeshere]

Also... back in this time period, Loony Tunes were often created to run before the feature film. They were very popular. So it wasn't uncommon for the cartoons to feature caricatures of actors and sometimes feature music that would appear in the feature film to come.

[@billshine401]

You missed the "I'm shocked!" meme moment. 😀

[@kathleensmith3555]

Humphrey Bogart was a huge star and did many fine movies but Kemi you would absolutely LOVE his movie The African Queen with Kathrine Hepburn -- I think it was one of his best films -- and my personal favorite right up there with that film was the original Sabrina with a young and beautiful Audrey Hepburn ( not related to Kathrine) its fun and a great story

[@kalindakelly3417]

Yes to both of these.

[@jnagarya519]

FOCUS: this film was made during, and is about, WW II. It isn't a cartoon; it is a SERIOUS film. "Ugarte" is Peter Lorre.

[@joepowell7025]

The old classics are so wonderful

[@joefaber1381]

Laslow and Elisa were husband and wife in this movie. In 1943, when this movie was made, people did not openly kiss in public very much. It was considered inappropriate.

[@alfredroberthogan5426]

That still is inappropriate. Victor Lazlo and Ilsa Lund are the names.

[@DavidB-2268]

Humphrey Bogart was frequently spoofed in the old Warner Brothers cartoons. In the Bugs Bunny cartoon with the little penguin, he kept cropping up asking, "Can you help a fellow American down on his luck?". The character you're thinking of was named Mugsy, and he was modeled more on James Cagney than Bogart.

[@billolsen4360]

Warner Brothers also made "Carrotblanca" with Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Tweety and Yosemite Sam. Spoof on this film. And The Marx Brothers made "A Night In Casablanca." Not a scene-by-scene spoof but still funny.

[@MrVvulf]

@@billolsen4360 The Marx Brothers and Bogey (and many, many other Hollywood celebrities) also appeared in the Bugs Bunny episode entitled "Slick Hare".

[@alfredroberthogan5426]

That line is from 1948's John Huston-directed B&W "The Treasure of Sierra Madre" -- that was shot mostly on location in Mexico.

[@BDogg2023]

I really really appreciate your reaction to this so far. I love that you get all the subtle humor that I just don’t see most reactors recognize is even there. I love this movie.

[@Hexon66]

"Capt. Renaud is getting broad-minded" slips past nearly everybody though. Mostly because they haven't figured out the scam yet.

[@jamesmoyner7499]

A few other Bogart classics I recommend include: Key Largo, The African Queen, The Maltese Falcon, The Caine Mutiny, And The Big Sleep which no one has ever been able to figure out the story for.

[@melanie62954]

Ha ha, so true about The Big Sleep. It's still a great film.

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

Maltese Falcon is so good.

[@wesleyrodgers886]

They phoned Raymond chandler. Even he didn't know who killed the chauffeur.

[@jamesalexander5623]

Key Largo is my Favourite Bogey and Bacall Movie .... and it has Edward G. Robinson as the Bad Guy!

[@kalindakelly3417]

Yes, The African Queen.

[@melenatorr]

Ilsa is not lying. They are married. In this aspect, you're over-thinking. She is telling the truth.

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

I’d love for you to react to “Laura” (1944) someday. Has been listed by AFI as one of the best mystery films ever. Had 5 Academy Award nominations. And the theme song is simply iconic.

[@DanielOrme]

Yes! KSO would love "Laura"! She's the best at figuring mysteries, and "Laura" would give her a great one to unravel.

[@MrVvulf]

Gene Tierney was the most beautiful actress to ever grace the silver screen. Her life was tragic though - she never recovered from the guilt of her daughter being born deaf, blind, and mentally disabled because Gene had caught Rubella during pregnancy from a fan who broke quarantine to meet her.

[@hollytooker507]

Oh, yes! You would love the stylish, witty LAURA! And the cast is perfection.

[@nattyboh2944]

I first watched this movie when I was around 20/21 years old. I was in the car on my way up to our family's cabin, just visiting for a few days. The drive up there is around 3-4 hours long and my stepdad's old car had those little individual tv screens on the back of the front headrests you could put DVDs into. I had rented Casablanca because people always said it was such a great classic movie and a must-watch in life. I really do need to rewatch it now that it's been over a decade since I first saw it and I don't remember a ton, but I do vividly remember thinking at the end that I completely understood why it was considered to be those things. Lovely film.

[@pamelachristie5570]

"You must remember this": The connections you're making to other films and to cartoons all have THIS movie as their source. Casablanca has been imitated, parodied and copied thousands of times over the years. It's that good. Maybe the next time you hear one of its phrases or songs (including The Marseillaise and Perfidia) you'll say, "I recognize that! That's from Casablanca!" Welcome to the club! 😀

[@accam6734]

Ingrid Bergman is one of the best actresses, ever.❤

[@ajayjackson7727]

she was a really good actress

[@LBrobie]

i love this movie. the scene where ilsa has the gun and is trying to convince rick to give her the letters of transit...when that tear falls down her face and she turns away ... oh, it gets me every single time. ingrid is such an amazing actress and though she doesn't get to reallllly show her brilliance in this movie, there are signs of it. i'm glad you enjoyed Casablanca. a fun romantic comedy with ingrid berman and cary grant is Indiscreet.

I hope more people will request classics; more with Humphrey Bogart, with Ingrid Bergman. I also think you'd love romantic classics like Sabrina (1954), Random Harvest ( 1942) Roman Holiday (1953), An Affair to Remember (1957), Singin' in the Rain (1952), Remember the night (1940), Notorious ( 1946, Suspense too but quite romantic), The Heiress (1949), Brief Encounter (1945), Dodsworth (1936), The Philadelphia Story (1940), Holiday (1938), Camille (1936), When Harry Met Sally...

Hi, K.S.O. Thank you for this one! _Casablanca_ is a work whose themes, music, proto-film noir style, and quotes - the quotes! - are so prevalent in popular culture that it is all but impossible to _not_ know of them before seeing the movie for the first time. Indeed, I had already known the plot, characters, storyline, ending and theme song through cultural osmosis _twenty years_ before seeing _Casablanca_ for the first time. All the same, it is one thing to recognise this film for its composite elements through references/allusions and another thing entirely to see the very same bits and pieces interact with one another as a whole in a moving picture. The visual and cynical elements of film noir - as coined by French film critics in the mid-1940s, and becoming a widespread term by 1955 - can be observed in _Casablanca_ , presaging the doubts and fears of post-WW2 America (ranging from mob crime, the Red Scare (cf. Joseph McCarthy) and police corruption; much like the noble qualities of the illicit business man Rick is contrasted by the corrupt prefect of police, Capt. Renault, the next waves of film noir, which featured private detectives and criminals as their leading characters, helped form moral ambiguity for American movie characters (lots of grey personalities against a black-and-white moral background). It is a style that is so easily recognisable, emulated as often as it is parodied, that we need not know it by its historical term to immerse ourselves in it (examples of neo-noir include _Chinatown_ (1974), _The Man Who Wasn’t There_ (2001) and the film adaptation of Frank Miller’s _Sin City_ (2005) - the last one I warmly and thoroughly recommend). Best regards

Warner Brothers did indeed make cartoons, and they actually did "Carrotblanca," which is exactly what you think, and it has to be seen to be believed.

[@GrouchyMarx]

26:28 KSO, right here Rick is looking back at Carl and giving him a dirty look because Carl had gone around and told everybody, like the kissing Sasha, the good deed Rick had done helping that young couple to win money to get out of Casablanca. Another humorous moment! 😁 Casablanca is not only a romance story, but a war movie too. My mom and grandmother saw Casablanca a couple of months after it came out in early '43 while my grandfather was overseas in the war, and they said the audience was loudly cheering along, applauding during many scenes like Laszlo leading the French national anthem. And Louis telling his men to "Round up the usual suspects" near the end brought the house down according to my grandma and mom!! The war weighed heavy on everyone's mind so this movie was a real jolt of patriotism like when Rick joined the fight at the end and started that iconic "...beautiful friendship". Before the war and this movie coming out, most Americans had never heard of Casablanca the city. That changed when US President Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Churchill, the host nation Morocco sovereign Sultan Muhammad V, and with Free French Generals Giraud and Charles De Gaulle (De Gaulle the one whose signed the 'letters of transit' in the movie and who would later became president of France), and all met at the so-called Casablanca Conference to discuss Allied war plans, which was heavily covered by the media at the time. The nationwide release of "Casablanca" coincided with the news coverage of the conference that occurred in mid Jan 1943, and a lot of people went to see the movie. Definitely, play it again K! Watch it again someday to catch more nuances, and watch closely the dynamic when Louis shuts down Rick's club after the French anthem sing-along. It was a funny moment in the theater back then. A couple more good, Bogart B&W classics, "The Maltese Falcon" (1941) premiering only 2 months before the Pearl Harbor attack, and "To Have and Have Not" (1944) another romance-war movie where Bogey starred with his future wife, Lauren Bacall. The later kinda ties with Casablanca a bit because it's set in the French territorial island of Martinique in the Caribbean during the war. ✌😎

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

Don't forget The Big Sleep, Key Largo, To Have and Have Not, and Treasure of the Sierra Madre. And in color you should see Bogart in The Caine Mutiny, We're No Angels, and of course, The African Queen, for which he won an Oscar.

Ilsa truly loves Rick. She admires Victor and his work for the French Resistance. She is totally loyal to Victor. She will sacrifice her love for Rick in order to help and protect Victor. Rick says he is only interested in protecting himself. (Not true.) Rick and Ilsa BOTH admire Victor's fight against the Nazis. They BOTH are willing to give up personal happiness for the greater good. ALL THREE of them are willing to sacrifice their own happiness in order to do the right thing. The right thing for the one they love. The right thing for the war effort.

Laszlo and Ilsa, she explains she loves Laszlo for what he represents, but I've often wondered about that scar on his face, whether that meant he was 'damaged'. Ilsa and Rick was about her discovering love again after she thought Laszlo dead.

[@sjw5797]

If he went to university in Germany, it may have been a dueling scar. Fighting a duel with swords was a rite of passage in Germany. Duels were not fought to the death, but a scar on the cheek was a badge of honor.

Another Bogart film is The African Queen. He's paid to transfer Katherine Hepburn down a river so she can become a school teacher for an African town. Hepburn was in Bringing Up Baby with Cary Grant. Baby is a leopard. Both movies are comedic with romantic moments. Your reactions brighten up my day so I can smile and laugh with you. A comedy film about an African tribe is The Gods Must Be Crazy. It starts when an airplane drops a Coke bottle onto the village. They fight on who can use it. The leader decides to walk to the edge of the world and throw it away. On the way he meets two men (one white and one black) and a white woman who helps him as the black man can speak his language.

[@danielfardella1622]

[@TTM9691]

Warner Brothers definitely did cartoons, and Humphrey Bogart was one of the most imitated actors by comedians, impressionists, cartoons, etc. So you absolutely have seen someone or something doing a "Bogie" impression. (he's often referred to just as "Bogart" or "Bogie". If you say to someone "Do Bogie", they will probably do quotes (or misremembered quotes) from this movie ("Here's looking at you, kid". "Play it again, Sam", "This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship", "We'll always have Paris", "Of all the gin joints in the world, she had to walk into mine.", etc etc!)

[@jnagarya519]

Another is "Gaslight".

[@MsAppassionata]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do some more old film reactions. They generally have better character development and better storylines than a lot of modern day films, at least in my opinion, anyway. I’d like to suggest the following, to name just a few: “Now, Voyager” also staring Paul Henreid (Victor Laslo in this film) and Claude Rains (Captain Louis Renault), “Lawrence Of Arabia” (which includes Rains in one of his later roles) and is my favorite film of all time because it features great acting by all concerned, a great character study, great cinematography, and a wonderful score. Peter O’Toole plays the lead in a role for which he should have won an Oscar, “The Life Of Emile Zola” which starred the great Paul Muni and is a biography about the French writer and his involvement in the infamous Dreyfus Affair, “Notorious” directed by Alfred Hitchcock and staring Ingrid Bergman (again) and Cary Grant, “Goodbye Mr. Chips” (1939 version) staring Robert Donat (one of my favorite actors of all time) and Greer Garson in a film about a teacher and which earned Donat a well deserved Best Actor Oscar over stiff competition, “Random Harvest” starring Garson and Ronald Colman about a man who loses his memory during the war and the woman who loves him, “Laura” a great film noir murder mystery staring Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney, “Twelve Angry Men” starring a great cast, including Henry Fonda and Lee J Cobb which is a great courtroom drama, or I should say jury room drama, and my second favorite film of all time - “2001: A Space Odyssey”which is a thought provoking science fiction film. Omg! There are so many other films I could mention, but those will do for a start. 😁

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

There is a very old movie with Betty Hutton, called "rhe Perils of Pauline," she sings "I wish I didn't love you So," beautifully in this movie. The next line is, my love for you, should have faded long ago...

[@Kerry-eh1ms]

This is the first reactor who realizes that the character "Sam", who appears to be about 40 years old is not a "boy". Good for her.

[@newcjswift4516]

As others have said, Humphrey Bogart (Rick), Sidney Greenstreet(the big guy in the white suit who owned the other club) and Peter Lorre(the little guy with the big eyes and distitctive voice) were all imitated in many many cartoons along with many film icons of the era. Ingrid Bergman was the female lead who was so beautiful. Some of the actors playing refugees, were actual refugees from the Nazis. This came out during WW II when Hollywood was telling uplifting stories of sacrifice for the greater good to keep moral up.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Cartoons with Peter Lorre ( Ugarte ) impersonations: popular in the 1940s and 1950s (Bogart, too), he was a successful actor, who played many excellent character roles. Worth looking them up, as they tend to be gangster, horror or thrillers.

[@kathyastrom1315]

Capt. Renault is charming as anything, but he is really sleazy when it comes to very young women. “A visa problem” is his staff’s code for a pretty girl that he could pressure into bed in exchange for clearing up said visa problem. That’s why his response to the phrase was “Show her in.” The young Bulgarian recent bride was so young that she might have been too young for Rick’s bar. So, he is charming and funny, but he can make your skin crawl if you think about it.

[@frugalseverin2282]

Yes Warner Bros. produced the Merry Melodies and Looney Tunes cartoons and often in the '40s they would put caricatures of their stars in them including Humphrey Bogart and Peter Lorre who are in this film. Usually Bugs Bunny is in there too. They're also in the 1941 "The Maltese Falcon" along with Sidney Greenstreet (the large man). This is the most iconic film noir.

[@cliffchristie5865]

Warner Brothers were probably the most prolific producers of cartoons from the '30s into the '50s. And it's not a coincidence that the voices sound familiar because they often used voice impersonations of popular performers for their animated characters. And I am impressed that you recognized Ingrid Bergman from "Murder On The Orient Express" even though "Casablanca" was over 30 years earlier. In case it was too subtle - though that's hard to figure - Captain Renault's sideline is, let us say, "romancing" attractive young women who need one favor or another like, for instance, an exit visa. And to clarify two points anyway, the young lady that asks for Rick's advice knows nothing about the stolen papers and Sam never knew that they were hidden in his piano. Lastly, it's not always necessary to overthink the plot and get too far out ahead. You can just sit back, watch, and see what happens.

That's Ingrid Bergman who played Ilsa In CASABLANCA she also played Greta from Murder on the Orient Express the 1974 film adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel, I recommend for you to watch another black and white movie which is considered to be one of the greatest movies ever made CITIZEN KANE (1941) it's a classic starring Orson Welles and you will enjoy it.

The cartoon you're thinking of is _Carrotblanca_ - Warner Bros' 8-minute spoof of _Casablanca_ - of course it's on YT and it's pretty darn good, although not as funny as I'd remembered it to be.

[@rodneysisco6364]

There was a Bugs Bunny cartoon where a strange doctor like Dr. Frankenstein had Peter Lorre's voice . Peter Lorre was the actor who played Ugatti ( Ugarte ? ) in Casablanca . Characters in Bugs Bunny cartoons included Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd - the stuttering hunter

What a wonderful treat to see you react to this all-time classic. “As Time Goes By” was also sung by Barbra Streisand (to Ryan O’Neal) in “What’s Up, Doc?” ❤️

[@lawrenceallen8096]

It was Casablanca Morocco. I traveled there once. I guessed that it either had a dozen Rick's Cafes or not a single one. There was not a single one.

[@agentooe33AD]

Looney Toons, typically with Bugs Bunny, featured Humphrey Bogart, although Humphrey wasn't actually doing his own voice. Dave Barry was the voice actor who portrayed him, and he did a great job! Half of the dialog in this movie is quoted in Looney Toons cartoons all throughout their existence, as well as the French National Anthem, and As Time Goes By also. One of the greatest and most quoted movies of all time.

[@rttoonist4275]

I think the cartoon character she’s thinking of might be Rocky. Very short mobster boss in a trenchcoat and a gigantic fedora with a Bogart like appearance and voice. I always considered him one of Bugs Bunny’s more dangerous adversaries; Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam were too silly to be much of a threat, but Rocky actually had a serious air of menace to him that made it all the more funny whenever he got outsmarted.

[@DeidreL9]

Kemi I loved this reaction. A lot of these very famous Old Hollywood actors and actresses are new to you and l find it so interesting hearing your reaction to things l grew up and am very familiar with. I appreciate seeing them through your fresh eyes,because we can get a bit too used to things that are so well known to us. Watching your reaction, I noticed so many little things in the film that l’d never noticed before. Lovely watching this hunni!❤️❤️❤️

[@scottgorski7931]

This classic has been the blueprint for movies with romance and suspense to this day. The music and dialog have been used in some form for 60 years. You are remembering classic Loony Tunes cartoons from the 1940's and 50's both the characters and dialog. Here's looking at you Kid.

Humphrey Bogart was parodied in some cartoons, in a Bugs Bunny 🐰 cartoon he’s shown periodically entering asking the “screwy rabbit” for a dime to buy a cup of coffee☕️. H.B. Has many classic films to his credit, African Queen, The Caine Mutiny, The Petrified Forest…….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@kirkdarling4120]

Well, Warner Brothers owned both Humphrey Bogart and Bugs Bunny.

Thank you so much for pausing the movie; so often on reaction videos, the person will talk over and miss critical dialogue. With Casablanca, the dialogue is drawn so taut. Nothing wasted. Every scene, every word is relevant.

Humphry Bogart, Ingrid Berman and Peter Lorre amongst other actors of the time. I remember my mother telling us about who starred in it and what a wonderful movie it was. She was a Humphry Bogart fan too!

Rick hints at how dangerous their situation is when he tells Renault that she's Victor's wife and probably has information the Germans would like to know. It's actually worse; if the Germans knew she was Victor's wife they could grab her and threaten to torture or kill her if Victor won't cooperate. As long as they think she's just a girlfriend, she's relatively safe because the Germans would figure he doesn't care about her that much,

Bugs Bunny and Elma Fud. I love the way you got misled over and over again. That is the way it was written. There were at least 3 different endings written and the stars didn't know what ending they would use. The original play was called "Everyone goes to Ricks"

Humphrey has soo many movies from Hollywood. I am an Audrey Hepburn fan so I enjoy the movie Sabrina with both of them in it. But if you ever do a deep dive into older movies, My Fair Lady with Audrey is my favorite of hers. Conventionally most people like Breakfast at Tiffany's but I enjoy My Fair Lady better IMO.

[@diannerichardpratt3144]

Ilsa's telling Richard in Paris that her husband was dead was important to get the movie past the censors in 1943. Otherwise, Richard and Ilsa would be seen explictly as having an affair. That was forbidden in movies at that time.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Humphrey Bogart and Peter Lorre were easy to imitate, and even when this old man was a boy, were still alive and Bogart at least was often on TV in films like 'the African Queen'. Cartoons that spoofed popular movies were still being shown as well. I guess they've been seen on repeat in the USA for quite a while now. Try searching Bugs Bunny Bogart, or Bugs Bunny Lorre, it will probably throw them up.

[@francoisevassy6614]

You did a very good job with this movie, I admire how you predicted some of the events. I was a little surprised by your jugement about Captain Renault when he closes Rick’s Café, but it may be because I saw this movie so many times ! I was astonished when you recognised Ingrid Bergman as the nurse in Murder On the Orient Express, for it is 32 years later : what a physiognomist you are !!! You seem to like S. Z. Sakall, the head waiter as much as I do. If you want to see Ingrid Bergman as a fascinating character, I suggest you watch Gaslight (her first Oscar), starring Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotten and introducing Angela Lansbury : a very interesting film. Excuse my mistakes, I am a French elder woman 🇫🇷

[@suepall5425]

This is one of my favorite movies. And you're so right. Love is sacrifice. I've been married 41 years and through the many hardships that we've unfortunately had to face, both my husband and I have taken turns sacrificing for one another, and difficult sacrifices as well. I with major health problems for many years, then resolved, and now he, with an inoperable brain tumor, not one that will take his life fortunately, but that leaves him in chronic pain. But, we have each other and after all these years, we still hold hands, still would rather spend time with each other than with anyone else. With all this, we know we are blessed. Thank you for your insight and wisdom.

[@artoniinisto9022]

Often when reviewing films, reading the book it's based on or about the time it was made or what is shown or about the film-maker, like Michael Curtiz etc., makes the film more interesting, sts even necessary to know what's going on. A couple of ideas about this film: Hollywood often produces 'double whammies', two similar successful movies, and Casablanca (Curtiz)/To Have and Have Not (Hawks) as well as The Egyptian (totally awesome ancient Egypt book written by a well-known fellow Scandinavian, Mika Waltari, who wrote many classic historical novels) by Curtiz/ Land of the Pharaohs by Hawks (with Joan Collins) are just a couple. Also the Swede Ingrid starred in Hitchcock films, like Notorious and Under Capricorn, as well as her husband Roberto Rossellini's Italian films. Casablanca got a homage in Woody Allen's film Play It Again, Sam and Neil Simon's parody Cheap Detective. Other great Hollywood directors are, e.g., Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without A Cause) and Vincente Minnelli (Under the Clock).

"Who's the boy playing the piano?" Believe it or not, it was once considered "inappropriate" to refer to a black man as a "man", "sir" or "gentleman". To do so would place them on the same level as a white man. Racial barriers had to be observed. Likewise, a black woman was referred to as a "girl" or even worse, "gal" in the South.

[@ScenecrlyK.S.O.]

That’s terrible.

[@melenatorr]

@@ScenecrlyK.S.O. It definitely is: however, this movie is unique in that it shows Sam as a person: a good friend, someone who gets a percentage of the business, a creative person as well as pianist/singer. I'm willing to bet that the bar was his idea, not Rick's. It is a terrible thing that most movies of this period give people of color such a limited range of roles, but Sam is an exception.

[@DanielOrme]

@@melenatorr Yes, it's a shame that cringe-inducing "boy" is there. In fact, the relationship between Rick and Sam always amazes me when I realize the time the movie was made. Sam may be an employee, but clearly it's a friendship between men who treat each other as equals (only a real friend would behave the way Sam does in the getting-drunk scene). In a movie made in 1942, this was practically unprecedented.

You're good sometimes at predicting what's gonna happen lol. OMG! You even know As Time Goes By! the song was not written for the movie, but was written in 1931 by Herman Hupfeld. . The song became more famous because of Casablanca. Many famous quotes from this movie that trickled down through the generations: "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world...she walks into mine." Notice right after that he NEVER said "Play it again Sam." That's a bogus lie many said as a misquote that people actually believe he said in this movie that HE DID NOT. "Here's looking at you kid." "We'll always have Paris." "I believe this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." "Round up the usual suspects." I often associate this last one with school principals lol. This is my number one classic movie. I never get tired of it.

[@Hexon66]

It's not a lie, bogus or otherwise. Woody Allen wrote the play "Play it Again, Sam" in 1969 with his character emulating Bogart, hence "again". Perhaps people conflate the two, but I've never seen nor heard it attributed as a misquote to Casablanca before that time.

The Italian officer near the start is a humorous aside about how Italy had been 'the' Fascist state up until Germany overtook them in about 1938, and made Italy essentially irrelevant from that moment on. Sadly, corruption and irrelevance has made Italy only a tourist destination ever since.
