TCM Comments on Casablanca (1943)

[@airguy71]

RIP Robert Osborn. When he passed I felt like I lost a friend.

[@keythdanielsen8316]

He was an always pleasant presence on TCM.

I watched Casablanca last night. Still one of my absolute favorites.

[@ColemanJRimer]

They keep talking about remaking Casablanca and it physically hurts every time I hear that. This is my favorite movie of all time and it's perfect. Don't wait for a remake, watch the original; make your children watch the original lol.

[@bubbispapa2053]

Oh God, NOOOOO!! A remake of Casablanca would be like someone trying to carve a duplicate of Rodin's great sculpture "The Thinker" out of a block of cheese!

[@tc98826]

Oh god it would be such a woke nightmare

[@James18925]

Greatest movie I have ever seen

[@seangreg1117]

[@michaelmonkey6541]

Thank you Mr. Osbourn for all you were....

[@eugenefrazier5443]

I always looked forward to hearing Roberts tidbits before every movies.

[@Marklovesdrama]

Very interesting facts about a wonderful film. I must watch more classic black and white films.

[@jduwayne1]

IMO I THINK CASABLANCA IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE! THE CASTING, PLOT, DIALOGUE & DIRECTOR…!

[@donaldmcauliffe7653]

I met Robert one time many years ago

[@brucknerian9664]

No better host than Robert Osborn ... I could listen to him all day, still have him on a CD I burned with him and Drew Barrymore introducing the cult classic "Freaks". Wish he were still around.

[@tomsurber2293]

"Casablanca" is the best movie I've ever seen or ever will see.

[@albertmarasigan6645]

This is my brothers favorite classic movie and Andrew all reds favorite movie

[@trentthesterlingengine2914]

I love this movie:)

[@bubbispapa2053]

I also miss Jeffrey Osborne. He always presented each film with such class. Just the sound of his voice compelled me to stop what I was doing and listen no matter how far away I was from the tv at that moment.

[@zacktong8105]

What hasn't been commented upon through the filming and then release over Thanksgiving 1942 was the planned US invasion of North Africa at that pricise location which must have had alot of military people in Washington VERY NERVOUS as the film was being ready for release, possibly they held up releasing it until AFTER the invasion became public.

[@darkwood777]

On the contrary, the release was rushed to coincide as closely as possible to the day of the invasion, because FDR wanted it so.

[@tobygoodguy4032]

You can tell that Robert wasn't well. Miss the guy. 🤠

[@randywhite3947]

Casablanca is a 42 film not 43.

[@bubbispapa2053]

🤔 Not sure about that. It was filmed in '42, and released in January '43. I know that it is mostly listed in film review websites as '42. Perhaps it was released to a limited audience then? What I do know is the wider release date is usually the date credited. Hard to say. There are films that are held back from release for various reasons that effect the date credited. I do know it won best picture at the Academy Awards of 1944. And films nominated are pretty much always from the prior year. So there's that.

[@leafyutube]

Is this before he died?

[@ronleight9341]

No, 3 weeks after!
