When I decided to watch Casablanca, I didn't know much about it except some of the famous lines and the names of the leads.
Now I know the context behind those famous lines, that Humphrey Bogart has a tender side, and that softening effect Old Hollywood constantly used really does make ladies look dreamy.
I'm a sucker for a love story, some random humor, and a little drama so this film made me smile. I suspect these are the exact same reasons it has kept its mass appeal and relatability for all these years.
If you haven't seen it, it's worth a watch. I can't say that about all the other films I've seen so far.
"We'll always have Paris!"

Sigh. It is timeless. Just watching the quotes reel makes me smile. I've seen it a couple of times, my favorite being Screen on the Green on the National Mall.
ReplyDeleteI love outdoor movies and Casablanca + National Mall sounds like an amazing combo!!
