Review of Casablanca (1943) by Marc R — 04 Apr 2013
The quintessential Hollywood romance, full of cynicism, realists, sacrifice, and rekindled spirits. The iconic screenplay has some of the jazziest, most poetic dialogue you'll ever hear, and the characters, particularly that of Rick Blaine (the incomparable Humphrey Bogart) and Ilsa Lund (the beautiful Ingrid Bergman) all inhabit their world in a way that's tragic, but dignified, to the point where one can't help but root for everyone to get their way (except the Nazis of course).
Forget "Gone With The Wind" or "Wizard of Oz", if any film from the golden age deserves to live on forever, it is this one. And most likely, it will.
