Rewatched Casablanca last night.

I like Casablanca, but my favorite Bogart movie is "African Queen" which is Bogart and Hepburn almost exclusively throughout the movie.
With the exception of Robert Morely early on playing Hepburn's preacher brother who dies in the first 15 minutes of the movie, it is almost all Bogart and Hepburn for the remainder until near the end when they are arrested by the Nazi boat patrolling the lake.

Watched it again the other night because of this thread. I find something different every time I watch it. This is my favorite move of all time. I love movies with dialogue that you have to pay attention to when watching. As other have said the dueling songs at Rick's is my favorite scene.
Wish more movies today had the same substance as these movies.

Great movie. I saw it for the first time a few years ago and expected it to be good, but overrated. I was wrong. It was spectacular. I was surprised at how many limes I knew from other films and forms of entertainment. It’s so influential. Has to be a top 10 movie of all time.

And to think this was a throwaway movie for the studio with actors trying to run out their contracts.
You're not the first person to say this and I think it is a popular revisionist position that seeks to further elevate the film as doing well despite it being a half-hearted effort by the studio.
I just don't think it is strongly supportable. Casablanca was an A-list film. It had about a million dollar budget. Bogey was one of Warner's top guys (although not quite #1 yet). Curtiz had just directed their big film from the year prior, Yankee Doodle Dandy. By the 12th Academy Awards, he already had 3 nominations for best director (although he "cheated" and had 2 noms in 1938). Hal Wallis produced it and he was probably the #1 producer at Warner at that point.
However, despite the resources devoted to it, I don't think that Jack Warner or others in the studio expected it to be an Oscar-winning film or make the splash it did. But it is clear from the film - whether the score by Max Steiner (probably the best film composer of classic Hollywood), cinematography by Edeson (which further makes Casablanca feel like spiritual sequel to the Maltese Falcon), that all due effort for an A-list film was expended.
