So much subtext in so little dialogue. Rick really kept his cool. They didn't even finish the drinks. I watch this one over and over. I even had the thrill to watch it in a movie theatre a couple of years ago. It's the best ever!
My dear mother, born in Italy in 1926, and a "war bride" immigrant to the USA, just adored Ingrid Bergman...I was too young to understand why back then. But now? As I watch this scene from Casablanca (over and over...), I see why my dear mother adored Ms. Bergman. Thank-you, Mom...and I adore YOU!.
The fact that this 76 year old film can still rank in the all time 10 of the majority of 2018 movie reviews, and hold an audience spellbound today as it did in 1942, is testimony to the quality of acting, directing, scriptwriting and music score.
And easy so. A couple of weeks back I flew to Mexico (12 hour flight). The entertainment system had modern crap like Avengers and stuff, but the movie that stood out was this masterpiece, so I watched it. I'm in my mid-twenties
The humanity of the movie is timeless. It's about a man who loves a woman, but he knows he'll never quite be good enough for her because he's a no good scoundrel with a good heart. It's a timeless romance.
The truth is the script was being written as scenes were being filmed, the director didn't like many of the actors and the government censors wanted a different movie and ending. Even the ending scene was being written for a different ending as they filmed the scene where Rick lets Elsa go. It was so powerful they went with it. The acting was superb though and the movie was and still is a classic because of it.
When Dooley Wilson is playing the song, the camera locks onto Ingrid Bergman for 26 seconds. No dialogue, no change in facial expression, just a wistful sad face. It’s cinematic perfection.
That's the next level of acting. U don't have to say any word to show u're being sad, anger or happy to the audience, cos they're already know what u feel. U just need a bit expression but truly impactful for the movie. But, It's not that easy as it looks
The secret was to keep a basic blank expression and let the audience do all of Ilsa's imagining for that moment. In this way, they are drawn into the emotions being played out before them, rather than being mere spectators. Silent films did this by default. Modern audiences are frankly unable to handle this kind of investiture into the film story.
@@sherlockhemlock1246 well said. Someone asked me if there was a film I had watched more than ten times. I reckon I’ve watched Casablanca close to a hundred times but I’ll never tire of its perfection.
...and a wise one, who understood the portent. Woman comes in on a whim... destroying Rick's carefully structured way of life, then flies away with an effete without a care in the world... leaving Rick in shambles, and his actual life in dire danger. Women can be so cruel... on a whim.
Casablanca is full of smart, fast dialogue, throwaway comic lines, witty ripostes and painfully hard truths. That's how thinking people actually talk when everything around them is dark and hopeless and closing in. The script and direction show profound understanding of the human condition. And then there's Max Steiner's incredible score, which underpins the emotion of the whole thing.
And to think it was written on the fly. It was written as they went. They even planned to shoot two different endings. They were going to do one with Elsa staying with Rick and waving goodbye together to Laszlo. But they shot the ending we know first. And once they did that, they knew that they had the right ending and don't bother with the other one
Steiner was the John Williams/John Barry of the Golden Age of Hollywood as he scored so many Oscar winning, iconic films...majority in the top AFI 100 and quite a few in the top 10. Can't beat the most iconic score ever...Tara's Theme from Gone With the Wind--Max Steiner. Bette Davis hated when Steiner scored all her top late 30s and 40s pictures, especially Dark Victory as she thought it overshadowed her acting and she didnt want to have to compete with his music, especially during her death scene climbing up the stairs. She made a famous snarky comment about it!
Just the look of pure pain and agony on Rick's face when he sees Ilsa for the first time in forever. It's little moments like those that American cinema was so good at in these classic movies. One of my favorite scenes from my favorite movie of all time.
How he made his face do that tiny tiny twitch could never be duplicated by anyone ever. Maybe the greatest scene of all time. People who don't watch these old movies will never ever know the meaning of great cinema or great acting.
THAT is so true and a great observation. Masterpieces of film making like this easily bear repeated viewings as their elements emerge and we take notice of more and more over time.
Alex Bisel, right, and that pain and agony can be feel much more by those who have we passed the same or similar situations (hope i'd had written it well) (espero haberlo escrito bien, soy de Colombia)
The most genius way of saying "No one has ever made love to me like you did" to your ex-lover in front of your very husband... Ingrid Bergman's "No one ever plays that tune on a piano like your...piano playing guy"...If you know what I mean...:)) And then Humphrey Bogart's vulnerable admitting that he's not been with anyone in a really long time after they broke up... "Well, just so you know, he hasn't "played that tune" in a really long time"... How emotional. How refined. Classy and smartly written. That conversation is what makes this film a masterpiece.
Ingrid Bergmans' beauty was timeless. No tightly curled hair, dark lipstick or pasty makeup of that era. Just simple easy breezy. Just naturally beautiful and talented. The best movie ever imo.
Was there ever a better cast, a better plot, a better song , all combine to make the best movie of all time! It can make an old man feel young again and restore the romance of youth. Ingrid and Humphrey, what a combo. Just hearing the lyrics of that song sung by that scratchy voice makes for added perfection. I’m shocked, shocked that not everyone agrees. The feelings it evokes cannot be duplicated.
Ingrid Bergman was truly one of the most beautiful women in all of film history. She died on her birthday, Aug. 29, 1982, at a mere 67 years of age. What an indescribable beauty!
Desmond Bagley many of the Golden age stars died even younger or in their 60s and 70s. Humphrey Bogart for instance died at age 57 in 1957 from esophageal cancer brought on by his heavy smoking and drinking. Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Errol Flynn, Spencer Tracy, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and others all died due to heavy smoking and or drinking. Errol Flynn died at age 50 of a heart attack brought on by hard drinking and smoking as well as Gary Cooper who died of prostate cancer in 61 at age 60. A lot of actors then smoked heavily or drank. John Wayne lived to age 72 when died in 1979 of cancer and he smoked 4-5 packs a day of cigarettes for over 30 years and drank heavily.
@@scottknode898 That, unfortunately, is Satan's job ... and he revels in it. My mother died at 57 from cigarettes. My older brother dropped dead at 52 from a heart issue, a lack of protein, and literally working too hard. Choose Life. Choose Jesus, whether you smoke or drink or do drugs, or not. Choose eternity, eschew hell.
Tonetwisters ok believe what you want but yes I have lost family members to smoking related illnesses and one of my Dads best friends died in 2017 at age 61 from stomach cancer brought on by years of smoking.
Dooley Wilson inaugurated himself into some Hall of Fame with this scene. And those tears in Ingrid's eyes? Priceless! Hollywood would be insane to even try to resurrect this in a more modern form. Classics should never be copied!
The energy between them. The memories melodies cause to surface. The pain of losing someone you love to time not death. Each element in this scene demonstrates the immortality of true and thoughtful storytelling.
“You’re bad luck to him.” In just a few seconds you can see the hurt on Elsa’s face as Sam says those words. But she recovers quickly and smiles the hurt away. She still wants to hear the old songs. The songs that belong to a time that doesn’t exist anymore.
The expression Bogart creates on his face and withdraws slightly when he looks at Ingrid Bergman is exquisite acting and it’s funny how Sam puts up his stool and runs away not wanting to get in between this “entanglement”😜😜😜
Imagine a movie released on January 23, 1943, and is still as great today as it was back then. What is even more remarkable is that there were No Unnecessary Car Chases, No Unnecessary shootings and or massive quantities of blood, No Unnecessary profanity, No Unnecessary Computer Generated Graphics, No Unnecessary sex and or nudity; just a Great Story with Great Actors and Actresses giving a great performance. Today's Hollywood can never come up to the standards of movies like Casablanca.
"Round up the usual suspects." God, this movie is one the best ever made. Timeless. Perfect. Every performance. And to think the script was being written almost each night before the scenes were shot!
This is brilliant writing right here - it's never spelled out in words that they had a past together. You get the entire story just in their eyes when Rick and Ilsa see each other, the way they both are saddened by the song, and Sam's reaction when he recognizes her. It's up to us as the viewers to observe these performances and get the story out of them, rather than wait for the dialogue to tell us what is happening. THAT is true cinema.
Which is what makes this movie, which is really kind of a simplistic story, a classic! It’s not the story, but the storyteller! If you aren’t enjoying a story, blame the storyteller, and likewise to f you enjoy it!
This is a masterpiece of a movie that will never die . The best ever.i could watch it forever!!!. They were the best of the best actors. And this movie proves it. They were so on love. It's a CLASSIC. Love the way Sam sings the song. The best ever!. Can never be duplicated. I love love love it. RIP ALL U GREAT ACTORS. MAY GOD BLESS. .😇🥰💔🌷😥😥😥🙏🙏💯👏👏👏
Reacting by just everyone in this movie, the stars, the secondary characters, even the extras is simply sensational. Later that evening Rick is drinking alone and he's in absolute despair. But in this clip while Sam sings, long long close-up of Ingrid Bergman and she also in her own way is just devastated. That is incredible acting. While she's watching Sam she says nothing but you know absolutely what's on her mind. When she opens her mouth a little to breathe it is so poignant. Stunning acting.
Casablanca, Gone with the wind, Four feathers, Gunga Din, Beau Geste, Going my way, White Christmas,....and many more classics that will never be duplicated because ALL of those GREAT actors are long gone. No matter, I'll keep on watching them over and over again until I have to leave this earthly realm. ENJOY the movies everyone!! PEACE.
This is my all time favorite movie. A masterpiece of cinema perfection that is magically always insightful and entertaining. Bogart and Ingrid in their simplistic acting outshining the scenery chewing of today's actors. A rare movie timeless as time goes by.
Not stictly true there ia few practical FX shots in it, but Curtiz was a very technical dlrector. He would have been right at home in todays world. There was few technical firsts explored in the making of this film. I understand your sentiment but CGI is a tool and I guarantee you've seen thousands of VFX shots without realising it. When its at its best, lts invisible.
my teacher put this movie for us. the half of the class was asleep and the rest were just doing work for other classes. im the only one who watch the entire movie. A+ for me :)
I first saw this film 56 years ago. It is still one of my all time favourites and Ingrid Bergman is still one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.
I want to take a moment to appreciate the amazing performance of Dooley Wilson as Sam. Pushed by Ilsa to give information on Rick and to help her to recapture her ideal of the lost moment in Paris, he at first artfully uses the conventional distance and servility expected of a black man relating to a white woman. When Ilsa uses the blunt power of her position to back him into a corner he responds as a friend, with the hard fatality of someone whose world has never had room for romantic illusions. "Leave him alone Miss Ilsa. You're bad luck to him."
I like how Sam got wrong the the 2nd verse: "A kiss is just a kiss" he sang, but the right way is in fact "A kiss is still a kiss". He didn't remember it right and it's pretty realistic. That are small details that make this movie what it is: an everlasting classic. PS: sorry for my english here
As close to perfection as it gets. Not a bad line of dialogue nor a wasted scene. But if Jack Warner had his way it would've been Ronald Reagan and Ann Sheridan as Rick and Ilsa.
Though I've watched this film countless times , I still hold my breath watching these clips . Truly amazing acting . The superb dialogue keeps you spellbound .
@@mattsmolinski595 you see, blue and gray is somehow indistinguishable in when put together in large numbers. The fact that he remembered her color says that he paid attention to all the details. He was so in love with her.
Ingrid Bergman was shining on the screen. Her radiant beauty, her class, her beautiful voice were stunningly soothing. I always enjoy seeing these old movies.
I was born in in 1947. When I watch this I'm transported to 1942 and become lost in it. Rick and Ilsa are timeless. Like in Mozart every note is perfect. And to think, they did not know this as they were doing it.
Because he's such a gentleman, I love that Sam finally relents and plays "As Time Goes By" after hearing Ilsa start to get choked up with emotion when humming. Even though he's trying to protect his friend and boss and was told never to play that song again, he knows just how deeply she feels for Rick.
This movie has class bergman bogart wilson the piano player and cast Great performance i think the writers had better imagination for script in The good old days to think a movie 76 years old is still popular to this day Do not redo this film don't mess with perfection
The acting os phenominal. The secret of a good acting performance is getting that twinkle in your eyes and not blink when having a thought. Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart mastered that art.
Also Claude Raines. I didn't realize just how good he was until I saw this movie on the big screen. His expressions are terrific as Capt. Renault tries to quickly work out just what is going on, what the repercussions are and how to react. If this is "The Mystery of the Missing Transit Papers," then Capt. Louis Renault is the detective. Rick, Ilsa and Victor Laszlow (who, like Mary Poppins and Veronica Mars, is almost always called by his full name) are some of the suspects.
I think some of the good acting came from the fact that none of the characters knew how this story would end. Ingrid Bergman once asked the director about how she should play one of the scenes. She said something like, "do I play it like I'm going to stay or like I'm going to go". He said, "play it like you don't know". In many ways that was brilliant acting advice. Because the audience can't get a sense from the body language or facial expressions are tone of the actor what's going to come next. The actor doesn't know, so the audience doesn't know.
Casablanca is my 2nd favorite film. Vertigo will always be tops for me. But the shot of Ingrid, my favorite actress, looking down, staring into space, into the past, is perhaps the greatest shot ever.
It's my 4th. Here's my list of Top 10 Best Movies Of All Time... #10 Peter Pan (1953) #9 Harvey (1950) #8 Godzilla King Of The Monsters (1954) #7 To Catch A Thief (1955) #6 Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) #5 Goldfinger (1964) #4 Casablanca (1942) #3 Terror Of Mechagodzilla (1975) #2 Gone With The Wind (1939) #1 Rear Window (1954).
Everything about this excerpt of film making is perfect, the dialogue is 5 stars, the music and background music is 5 stars, the controlled acting and unspoken interaction between Bogart and Bergman is superb, the supporting cast of Claude Rains and Paul Henreid superb, and the black and white lighting great. 5 minutes of magic.
@2:10 always loved how Dooley Wilson closed the piano, put the stool on top, and high-tailed it out of there. in a western that would've been followed by a shoot-out.
Dooley Wilson's acting is amazing! We really feel for Sam as he's stuck in the middle of a painfully awkward situation. He tries to obfuscate and to avoid bringing Rick and Ilsa together. He cares for and sympathizes with both of them but is clearly on Rick's side and is trying to protect Rick from further heartbreak.
So true !! First time I m impressed by American cinema, hate what goes on in today’s time, love replaced by lust, wish I was born in that era, Love from India
This is my favourite movie ever, I'm 60, just recently watched for the 1st time 12 Angry Men, a brave movie in the middle of the McCarthy era. No movie made today comes close to these 2 classics
Geez, she's beautiful. I used to put this movie on when washing the dishes or doing some task. The crazy thing is - it never worked! I'd end up just sitting down and watching it again.
I read as a Movie Star at Warner Bros. back in the 1940's. Bogart was making $200,000 per picture. Bogart earned every dime. what a GREAT Movie Star he was. ALOT of GREAT films.
What rich golden acting!!! It was not only the times, but the emotional connection we all had with all of them. The subtle background of fear and uncertainty. We have all experienced it; and then the romantic somewhat painful encounter with the love of our lives while the end is threatened for all of us. Greatness in writing and acting.
When Rick sees Ilsa for the first time,m you can see the look of anger and pain on his face, and the tear she tries to prevent from forming in her eyes. You can see Ilsa still loves Rick but nows that it will never be, truly class, something that could never be made today from the same point of view.
Brilliant filmmaking. One of the greatest movies of all time - an enduring classic that never ages. My God, Ingrid Bergman was a beautiful woman! There will never, ever be another actor who can come close to Mr. Humphrey Bogart - a true legend of the silver screen. This, my friends, is how you make a classic film.
2:04 LOL! This is one of my favorite scenes. Poor Sam is between a rock and a hard place between the two lovers. His eyes wonderfully expresses it all. Great, smooth voice.
One of the best films ever made. A beautiful love story. Also the fact that it was made when the war was still in doubt. Required viewing for anyone wanting to enjoy a true classic film.
from 1:26 to 1:50 there is no camera movement and very little action. But Ingrid Bergman's acting is so amazing that you know exactly what is in her heart. She loves Rick and her Husband and has no idea what to do. It is one of the things that makes this movie sooo goood.
This film is a masterpiece.

Actions will always speak louder than words.

Talk about hyperbole.

For anyone who's been in love and lost and then meets that person again, here is a stunningly heart-wrenching scene.
Then loses them again 😢
Yep.
Your telling me
Who says time can't stand still...
Indeed.
Just about every scene in this film is a gem. “Casablanca” is the very definition of the word “classic”.
“The Germans wore gray. You wore blue.” A man in love forgets nothing.
Gorgeous
Especially when it hurts so bad.
So much subtext in so little dialogue. Rick really kept his cool. They didn't even finish the drinks. I watch this one over and over. I even had the thrill to watch it in a movie theatre a couple of years ago. It's the best ever!
So true
Greatest line in the movie.
"I am shocked, shocked, to find gambling in here!"
"Your winnings, sir."
"Thank you very much."
ha ha that was a very funny scene!
🤣🤣
I've yet to find a scene that sums up the Hypocrisy of the Vichy French government as quickly or accurately as that bit of dialogue right there.
You can tell how good a film is by how much of its script ends up as memorable quotes on imdb.com.
@The Interesting Nobody Choice!

What is even more remarkable is that there were No Unnecessary Car Chases, No Unnecessary shootings and or massive quantities of blood, No Unnecessary profanity, No Unnecessary Computer Generated Graphics, No Unnecessary sex and or nudity; just a Great Story with Great Actors and Actresses giving a great performance. Today's Hollywood can never come up to the standards of movies like Casablanca.
I completely agree with you.
Eu também.🧐
"Round up the usual suspects." God, this movie is one the best ever made. Timeless. Perfect. Every performance. And to think the script was being written almost each night before the scenes were shot!
Please don't use God's name to cuss. Please repent ❤
This is brilliant writing right here - it's never spelled out in words that they had a past together. You get the entire story just in their eyes when Rick and Ilsa see each other, the way they both are saddened by the song, and Sam's reaction when he recognizes her. It's up to us as the viewers to observe these performances and get the story out of them, rather than wait for the dialogue to tell us what is happening. THAT is true cinema.
Which is what makes this movie, which is really kind of a simplistic story, a classic! It’s not the story, but the storyteller! If you aren’t enjoying a story, blame the storyteller, and likewise to f you enjoy it!
This is a masterpiece of a movie that will never die . The best ever.i could watch it forever!!!. They were the best of the best actors. And this movie proves it. They were so on love. It's a CLASSIC. Love the way Sam sings the song. The best ever!. Can never be duplicated. I love love love it. RIP ALL U GREAT ACTORS. MAY GOD BLESS. .😇🥰💔🌷😥😥😥🙏🙏💯👏👏👏
she was so beautiful
now she is dead
She really was beautiful. One of the many timeless beauties of Classic Hollywood.

So shall we all.
She always will thanks to this marvellous film.
Yes she was. And yes a great movie. This - Gone With the Wind and Patton are my 3 favorites.
My God !!!! Ingrid Bergman´s face while listening to the piano is priceless!!!! She is showing all emotions only through that angelic face!!
Brilliant acting. The look on Rick’s face when he first sees Ilsa and the fact that her voice breaks when saying hello … perfect.
Reacting by just everyone in this movie, the stars, the secondary characters, even the extras is simply sensational. Later that evening Rick is drinking alone and he's in absolute despair. But in this clip while Sam sings, long long close-up of Ingrid Bergman and she also in her own way is just devastated. That is incredible acting. While she's watching Sam she says nothing but you know absolutely what's on her mind. When she opens her mouth a little to breathe it is so poignant. Stunning acting.
Easily and by far the best 2 minutes and 15 seconds in movie history.
Casablanca, Gone with the wind, Four feathers, Gunga Din, Beau Geste, Going my way, White Christmas,....and many more classics that will never be duplicated because ALL of those GREAT actors are long gone. No matter, I'll keep on watching them over and over again until I have to leave this earthly realm. ENJOY the movies everyone!! PEACE.
Too bad'Father of the Bride" has already been ruined by that idiot, jerk martin !
"Leave him alone Miss Ilsa. You're bad luck to him." Wonderful line.
This is my all time favorite movie. A masterpiece of cinema perfection that is magically always insightful and entertaining. Bogart and Ingrid in their simplistic acting outshining the scenery chewing of today's actors. A rare movie timeless as time goes by.
Still a marvelous film. No CGI No special effects.. no technicolor... Just acting & dialogue & great filming.
Not stictly true there ia few practical FX shots in it, but Curtiz was a very technical dlrector. He would have been right at home in todays world. There was few technical firsts explored in the making of this film. I understand your sentiment but CGI is a tool and I guarantee you've seen thousands of VFX shots without realising it. When its at its best, lts invisible.
Steve Halpern I don't know what's wrong with Technicolour but.
This movie is perfection
This is a masterpiece of cinema.... And I love Casablanca.... Thanks for this exciting piece of cinematography
The whole movie is word for word perfect. If you ask people why its so good each person gives a different answer.
This scene never gets old
my teacher put this movie for us. the half of the class was asleep and the rest were just doing work for other classes. im the only one who watch the entire movie. A+ for me :)
That means you have idiots who like shit films like Transformers in your class.
Congratulations!!
Thanks
isaiah nguyen hahahahha you're right!!! New generation should appreciated this kind of film. BTW this one of my faves
me to i love it
I first saw this film 56 years ago. It is still one of my all time favourites and Ingrid Bergman is still one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.
That was acting. Every phrase had multiple meanings. Beautifully done.
I want to take a moment to appreciate the amazing performance of Dooley Wilson as Sam. Pushed by Ilsa to give information on Rick and to help her to recapture her ideal of the lost moment in Paris, he at first artfully uses the conventional distance and servility expected of a black man relating to a white woman. When Ilsa uses the blunt power of her position to back him into a corner he responds as a friend, with the hard fatality of someone whose world has never had room for romantic illusions. "Leave him alone Miss Ilsa. You're bad luck to him."
You're reading a lot more sociology into it than I do. I just see an "Oh no, not her," as someone I don't want to see.
great how he great he sang As time goes by... This was a magical movie in every sense of the word.
Rrteet 00r tttttt
I love “I’ll hum it for you.” No one could resist her.
@@nomadpi1, you're a little naive. In 1942 the racial and gender elements of the scene would have been assumed and understood by everyone.
I forgot how cool Bogart was in this role.
Boggie was always cool. 😎
My favourite film since early 1940s favourite line here's looking at you kid
Bogart first defined “cool” - and only a few others have ever met the definition.
@@markreeter6227 I'd say Paul Newman, Steve McQueen were a couple of others...but you're right, not all that many of them.
Mess w/ sum1 ed u get killed on da said spot..
One of my all time favorites. The stars literally aligned for this great film.
00:54 the way she delivers ‘play it, Sam’ for the second time after he’d said ‘I don’t know what you mean miss Ilsa’ is just perfection.
I like how Sam got wrong the the 2nd verse: "A kiss is just a kiss" he sang, but the right way is in fact "A kiss is still a kiss". He didn't remember it right and it's pretty realistic.
That are small details that make this movie what it is: an everlasting classic.
PS: sorry for my english here
I have watched Casablanca so many times and never realized that...thank you
@@kachh2397 You're welcome!
Nice
i always tought he did it on purpouse. Like minimizing the thing she and rick had, trying once more to escape that sittuation, and pushing her away
Here are the lyrics.
genius.com/Dooley-wilson-as-time-goes-by-lyrics
The perfect cast in the perfect film, even after 76 years.
As close to perfection as it gets. Not a bad line of dialogue nor a wasted scene. But if Jack Warner had his way it would've been Ronald Reagan and Ann Sheridan as Rick and Ilsa.
Though I've watched this film countless times , I still hold my breath watching these clips . Truly amazing acting . The superb dialogue keeps you spellbound .
What a beautiful woman. I wonder why we don't get people like these any more in films?
Now they are all from plastic.....🌍
"The Germans wore grey You wore blue...." - does a line gets better than that!
Why is it so good?
@@mattsmolinski595 you see, blue and gray is somehow indistinguishable in when put together in large numbers. The fact that he remembered her color says that he paid attention to all the details. He was so in love with her.
Ingrid Bergman was shining on the screen.
Her radiant beauty, her class, her beautiful voice were stunningly soothing.
I always enjoy seeing these old movies.
Ingrid is divine in a truly beautiful film of all time
This, along with Errol Flynn’s Robin Hood are two movies I never get tired of watching.
One of the very best movies ever made. Dooley Wilson's singing is just beyond compare. FLY NAVY!!!
One of the best projection of pain on a person's face EVER when bogey first see's her WOW
His quizzical look as he reads the note from Ilsa as the rain washes it away shows a lot of pain! Awesome
Yes, you are so right.
Maybe, because, when you love someone, set him( her) free..
Iv'e seen it over 50 times and still never get tired of it.The greatest film ever made imo.
Where does anyone say "Play it again Sam"?
@@JoshPennCPTSD Never
After all these years it still brings tears to my eyes.
I was born in in 1947. When I watch this I'm transported to 1942 and become lost in it. Rick and Ilsa are timeless. Like in Mozart every note is perfect. And to think, they did not know this as they were doing it.
Because he's such a gentleman, I love that Sam finally relents and plays "As Time Goes By" after hearing Ilsa start to get choked up with emotion when humming. Even though he's trying to protect his friend and boss and was told never to play that song again, he knows just how deeply she feels for Rick.
This movie has class bergman bogart wilson the piano player and cast
Great performance i think the writers had better imagination for script in
The good old days to think a movie 76 years old is still popular to this day
Do not redo this film don't mess with perfection
The acting os phenominal. The secret of a good acting performance is getting that twinkle in your eyes and not blink when having a thought. Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart mastered that art.
The way her eyes mist up as she hears the song. And she probably had to do that for several takes.
Great tip about not blinking!
Also Claude Raines. I didn't realize just how good he was until I saw this movie on the big screen. His expressions are terrific as Capt. Renault tries to quickly work out just what is going on, what the repercussions are and how to react. If this is "The Mystery of the Missing Transit Papers," then Capt. Louis Renault is the detective. Rick, Ilsa and Victor Laszlow (who, like Mary Poppins and Veronica Mars, is almost always called by his full name) are some of the suspects.
I think some of the good acting came from the fact that none of the characters knew how this story would end. Ingrid Bergman once asked the director about how she should play one of the scenes. She said something like, "do I play it like I'm going to stay or like I'm going to go". He said, "play it like you don't know". In many ways that was brilliant acting advice. Because the audience can't get a sense from the body language or facial expressions are tone of the actor what's going to come next. The actor doesn't know, so the audience doesn't know.
It's the best scene, from one of the best films ever made!
One of the best movies that ever was filmed!! And Ingrid Bergman said one thousand words without uttering one! WOW!!!
What a radiant, luminous, incandescent charm and beauty Ingrid Bergman had.
Casablanca is my 2nd favorite film. Vertigo will always be tops for me. But the shot of Ingrid, my favorite actress, looking down, staring into space, into the past, is perhaps the greatest shot ever.
for me it's the i'am waiting for a lady scene , i have never seen so much hatred expressed with one look , true movie magic
wildsmiley Just saw both of them now and I must say, Vertigo was incredible but I think Casablanca tops it. Everyone has different tastes after all
Vertigo fucking sucks. Dull and slow paced.
@@MrForttunate There are /SO MANY/ scenes! For a single /shot/, perhaps the little waitress (?) during the Marseillaise scene ...
It's my 4th. Here's my list of Top 10 Best Movies Of All Time...
#10 Peter Pan (1953)
#9 Harvey (1950)
#8 Godzilla King Of The Monsters (1954)
#7 To Catch A Thief (1955)
#6 Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
#5 Goldfinger (1964)
#4 Casablanca (1942)
#3 Terror Of Mechagodzilla (1975)
#2 Gone With The Wind (1939)
#1 Rear Window (1954).
No kidding. Imagine that a masterpiece without superheroes or CGI. Wow. I wonder why?
Everything about this excerpt of film making is perfect, the dialogue is 5 stars, the music and background music is 5 stars, the controlled acting and unspoken interaction between Bogart and Bergman is superb, the supporting cast of Claude Rains and Paul Henreid superb, and the black and white lighting great. 5 minutes of magic.
@2:10 always loved how Dooley Wilson closed the piano, put the stool on top, and high-tailed it out of there. in a western that would've been followed by a shoot-out.
+S Patrick AHH! BUT THERE WAS A VERBAL SHOOTOUT , WITH BOTH PARTIES LEFT WOUNDED .
Yep. I was going to make this observation as well-but you did it better!
Dooley Wilson's acting is amazing! We really feel for Sam as he's stuck in the middle of a painfully awkward situation. He tries to obfuscate and to avoid bringing Rick and Ilsa together. He cares for and sympathizes with both of them but is clearly on Rick's side and is trying to protect Rick from further heartbreak.
Yes that was the funny part for this scene.
It made me chuckle the first time I saw it! Classic.
Wish they still made movies like this.
The French and Brits still occasionally do, here it's all about the money and MPAA ratings. Most epic films of the past would never be made today.
So true !! First time I m impressed by American cinema, hate what goes on in today’s time, love replaced by lust, wish I was born in that era, Love from India
Welcome to the. Bad era
How can love be shown via CGI?
This is my favourite movie ever, I'm 60, just recently watched for the 1st time 12 Angry Men, a brave movie in the middle of the McCarthy era. No movie made today comes close to these 2 classics
Geez, she's beautiful. I used to put this movie on when washing the dishes or doing some task. The crazy thing is - it never worked! I'd end up just sitting down and watching it again.
What a moment ---Still feel the passion down my spine
One of the greatest movies ever made.
I could watch this movie a million times and never get tired of it.
I read as a Movie Star at Warner Bros. back in the 1940's. Bogart was making $200,000 per picture. Bogart earned every dime. what a GREAT Movie Star he was. ALOT of GREAT films.
What rich golden acting!!! It was not only the times, but the emotional connection we all had with all of them. The subtle background of fear and uncertainty. We have all experienced it; and then the romantic somewhat painful encounter with the love of our lives while the end is threatened for all of us. Greatness in writing and acting.
I love how you see Elsa begin to walk down memory lane when Sam begins to play it.
When Rick sees Ilsa for the first time,m you can see the look of anger and pain on his face, and the tear she tries to prevent from forming in her eyes. You can see Ilsa still loves Rick but nows that it will never be, truly class, something that could never be made today from the same point of view.
Brilliant filmmaking.
One of the greatest movies of all time - an enduring classic that never ages.
My God, Ingrid Bergman was a beautiful woman!
There will never, ever be another actor who can come close to Mr. Humphrey Bogart - a true legend of the silver screen.
This, my friends, is how you make a classic film.
2:04 LOL! This is one of my favorite scenes. Poor Sam is between a rock and a hard place between the two lovers. His eyes wonderfully expresses it all. Great, smooth voice.
packs up whole Piano to get out of that situation
@@johnpatterson8697 😅 right.
This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever watched
For those who have lost a great love..these scene..is a delicate poisson ...soar and burn deep in the soul...
Agree
Absolutely timeless. Ingrid Bergman was a beautiful woman. The music the acting it has the lot. Casablanca, brilliant film 👍🇬🇧❤️
Just this much makes me want to watch the whole movie again. And I've seen it countless times. It's arguably the best movie ever made.
Ingrid was so beautiful that she hardly needed any makeup. His cinematic face was perfect
I never get goosebumps watching a modern movie, but I get goosebumps every time I see this scene (and I must've seen it a million times).
One of the best films ever made. A beautiful love story. Also the fact that it was made when the war was still in doubt. Required viewing for anyone wanting to enjoy a true classic film.
A lotta water under the bridge. The ultimate understatement. What a film.
Cette scène est un bijou. Ce film est un chef-d'œuvre.
She was magnificent. 🌹The movie is soooooo good every time.
Seen this film hundreds of times. It's #1 on my top 10 movies of all time.
from 1:26 to 1:50 there is no camera movement and very little action. But Ingrid Bergman's acting is so amazing that you know exactly what is in her heart. She loves Rick and her Husband and has no idea what to do. It is one of the things that makes this movie sooo goood.
