>>>This place being what it is, I am sure someone is going to jump in and say "Casablanca" is romantically indulgent or overrated. To them I say, Phooey <g>. The backstory alone is a movie -- lead actors and actresses dropping out (Bogart was a substitution), script being rewritten practically on the set, on and on. But they nailed it. I have thought of it several times since while working on a project that seemed to be falling apart.

>>>If I have inspired one person to watch "Casablanca" for the first time, my work is done today <g>. Watch it with someone you like.

>>Who could not love "Casablanca"?!? It's a classic. One of my favorite scenes is when everyone at "Rick's" sings "La Marseillaise" (that's the French national anthem, for those not familiar with it) to drown out whatever "bar song" it was that the group of Germans had started singing.

In Zulu the Welsh soldiers sing "Men of Harlech" to drown out the Zulus' war song
In Wickerman Edward Woodward sings "The Lord's my shepherd" to drown out the islanders' pagan song (Don't know what Cage does in the US version - YAWN)
