Recently read a bio of Bogart and early on they were dubious about Casablanca because they thought the script was "schmaltzy". But the script was improved and they agreed. The book said that Bogey and Bergman carried on an affair during filming, one of many for both.

As many know, a lot of of the supporting cast were refugees from Nazi Germany, including the evil Major Strasser who was played by Conrad Viedt. Ironically, Viedt was born in Germany but was an ardent anti-Nazi who married a Jewish woman.

Still my favorite movie of all time.

comes when Ilsa refers to Dooley Wilson as "the boy" playing the piano.

Even in an anti-fascist film, American racism had to take a bow.

Then too, am I the only one who finds the Claude Rains character deeply repulsive? Clever, yes, witty too. But this is a man who extorts desperate women, fleeing genocide, into exchanging having sex with him for a ticket out of hell. In real life such behavior would be slimy in the extreme.

Still and all, an amazing achievement. Not a wasted moment, and so many memorable scenes and lines.

Those involved really did catch lightning in a bottle.
