Just watched it for probably the 100th time. It really is one of the greatest movies ever made.

Victor Laszlo, played by Paul Henreid, was the most interesting character in the movie.

Brave, vulnerable and confused when he returned - and volunteered to opt out of an amazing relationship.

Every time I visit Harry's Bar in Venice I think of this movie - which reflects life then. And wartime now.

"Everybody Comes to Rick's" is an American play that was bought unproduced by Warner Brothers for a record figure of $20,000 (equivalent to $294,000 in 2020).

It was adapted for film as CASABLANCA (1942), starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.

Written by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison in 1940, prior to the United States' entry into World War II, the play was anti-Nazi and pro-French Resistance. The film became an American classic, highly successful and ranked by many as the greatest film ever made.
