Some may think it’s an overrated melodrama, but it’s a movie worth
multiple viewings. Fascinating characters, classically fine film acting and great atmosphere. Plus
It’s beautifully photographed. Of course, Bogart and Bergman are irresistible.

Yep, also watching. I enjoy the humor, that French cop (Renault ?) has some great timing and delivery. It’s rated one of the best for a reason. It also has several quotes that are mainstream to this day.

My favorite movie of all time. If there ever was a love story catered towards men, this is it

It’s one of the most revered movies in history. Strange defense of a rare criticism.

And I’m a dude that freaking loves this movie and agree with you other than a stupid minority claiming it’s “overrated.”



So, yes, amazing movie. Not overrated.

The Alabama Theater in Birmingham shows it every Valentine’s Day on the big screen. Great way to see it.

Not that it mattered but Bergman was lit quite nicely in this.

The dialogue is teriffic. Rick’s one liners are memorable to this day.

I wouldn’t bring up Paris if I were you. It’s poor salesmanship.

Captain Renault: What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Captain Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
Rick: I was misinformed.

And to think this was a throwaway movie for the studio with actors trying to run out their contracts.
