What more can be said about this most American and romantic of all films. A perfect blend of witty, intelligent writing, superlative performances on all levels, and brilliant timing, Casablanca has earned its popularity many times over. Probably no script this side of Shakespeare has so many inspired and quotable lines, and nowhere can one find so many beautifully realized set-pieces. Amidst the intrigues of war-torn Morocco, two erstwhile lovers discover that “the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world,” as they commit themselves to a cause that is greater than any one person. A film that gets better every time you see it and stirs all the right feeling for all the right reasons. And if this is the first time you will be seeing it, then “Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
