Rick blaine a callous nightclub owner in a wartime waystation has his world turned upside down when his lost love ilsa returns. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/07/2005 Starring: Humphrey Bogart Claude Rains Run time: 103 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Michael Curtiz
 
 
A truly perfect movie, the 1942 Casablanca still wows viewers today, and for good reason. Its unique story of a love triangle set against terribly high stakes in the war against a monster is sophisticated instead of outlandish, intriguing instead of garish. Humphrey Bogart plays the allegedly apolitical club owner in unoccupied French territory that is nevertheless crawling with Nazis; Ingrid Bergman is the lover who mysteriously deserted him in Paris; and Paul Heinreid is her heroic, slightly bewildered husband. Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Conrad Veidt are among what may be the best supporting cast in the history of Hollywood films. This is certainly among the most spirited and ennobling movies ever made. --Tom Keogh

User Comments About Casablanca
 
Casablanca- A Movie that Everyone MUST Watch
 

Before I even watched the film, I knew that I would love it from start to finish. So if you are sitting at home wondering what movie to watch, I recommend Casablanca because you will not be disappointed. Perfect film for families, couples, or anyone who wants to enjoy a good movie. Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart both do an amazing job in this film. Next time you are at Blockbuster or ordering off of NETFLIX, choose Casablanca as your next movie to watch. Casablanca is perhaps considered one of the best well-done and most-respected movies of all time. Also this Academy Award winner for Best Picture clearly deserves a round of applause.



Casablanca
 

Admittedly, before i saw it i was expecting to not like it at all but luckily i did enjoy most of it. I think a large part of my opinions of this movie come from the fact that it is an older movie and many movies have been influenced directly from it. Watching in today, much of the story, particularly the romance, seemed comical simply because i had seen it used so often. though I wouldn't call this the greatest film ive ever seen it does deserve most of the credit it receives.

Mostly because of the writing and setting. I was certainly impressed with this movie. First and foremost i really appreciated the writing. I found myself enjoying the political intrigue in the film much more than the romance.

After watching it i can certainly some evidence for it but i'm not sure if i would necessarily hold it in that high regard. Casablanca is generally considered to be on of the greatest films of all time. The dialogue, especially between Rick and captain Renault, was both entertaining and intelligent.

Classic Romance but....
 

Therefore, it is, in some ways, a fairly standard propaganda flick [and there were hundreds of them during the War] saved by the presence of Ingrid Bergman, in all her youthful beauty, and the brooding 'Nick' [Humphrey Bogart]. Ron Braithwaite author of novels"Skull Rack" and "Hummingbird God"on the Conquest of Mexico Bergman's beauty is a thing to behold and Bogart's agony is correspondingly miserable. Paul Henreid, as Bergman's cuckolded husband, is just too noble for words and the Nazis are appropriately unidimensional and evil. "Arrest the usual suspects," he orders, as Bogart, walking away with him in the fog tells him, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Excellent stuff, really. Reviewers have called 'Casablanca' the perfect movie and, although I agree that it is a classic it is by no means 'perfect.' The film was, I believe, released in 1945, during the Second World War. The cynical Vichy French Inspector is indeed perfect as a man who ultimately finds where his loyalties.and soul.lies.
