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.
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.
...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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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. .😇🥰💔🌷😥😥😥🙏🙏💯👏👏👏
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.
“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.
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!
You can tell Ilsa is still in love with Rick in this scene, but very mindful of her husband's presence and of course, their marriage. That's a tricky line to walk. Ingrid does it beautifully.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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."
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.
This movie and this song will always be in my memory. The movie is so good on so many different levels that I almost want to cry with joy. I wrote a book once and I had this song in the introduction. It is so timeless. "It's still the same old story, a fight for love and glory, a case of do or die." That's what life is all about. The struggle of man against what, he does not know.
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”😜😜😜
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.
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.
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.
what a wonderful scene. what an expression !! what professionals, what actors! she changes her face in seconds .. she shows everything in her eyes ... the best !!!!
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).
Not remembering how many times I have watched this movie. No, with the impeccable cast, director, the song, it turned out to be an Art and that is why it is timeless. Each time when I watch it, I can't quit but becoming to fall in love more. Thank you for such a masterpiece.
If there has ever been a more beautiful actress than Ingrid when she smiles, I have not seen her. The gentleman playing Sam is terrific. And of course, Claude Rains steals every scene he is in.
One of my favourite classics together with Rebeca..mitic film,wonder couple & OBS❤😊" As time goes by"where there were always will be..never say never again
Im Glad I stumbled across this scene, Im 17 right now and Ive always loved these Old movie scenes.Its so much more meaningful and deep than modern movies
I can remember my Dad playing this song on the piano at our home, back in the 'fifties, when I was a kid. It was one of my Mum's favourites. This certainly brings back memories!!
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
Truly amazing movie. I actually picked this as a movie to write about for a film review in college freshman year. I couldn’t even think of enough words to describe how great this movie is.
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.
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.
You must remember this A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by And when two lovers woo They still say, "I love you" On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes by Moonlight and love songs Never out of date Hearts full of passion Jealousy and hate Woman needs man And man must have his mate That no one can deny it's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by Moonlight and love songs Never out of date Hearts full of passion Jealousy and hate Woman needs man And man must have his mate That no one can deny it's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by
no this is just how most mainstream songs were written at that time, the same with right now, in the future when all the kids who hear this modern music grow up, they will say the same thing you did😂
Ingrid Bergman’s beauty and class is unmatched.
And she played this scene perfectly.
No W O P or scissoring on stage
Damn, she played the entire movie perfectly @@larryj1048
When women had pride being women
Sophia Loren was her match ...I love both of them . Beautiful , elegant and ageless ....
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!.
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 😢

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.
I saw it only once, when I was a teenager. I won't say how long ago that was, but I never forgot this landmark.
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.
Esp. because they didn't have a script & made it up on set. Funny that this & Gone With the Wind they don't end up together.
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.
Just about every scene in this film is a gem. “Casablanca” is the very definition of the word “classic”.
No kiss, no words, just a look... Yet the most intensely romantic scene ever.
I AGREE, GREAT MOVIE BRILLIANT SCRIPT
Actions will always speak louder than words.
Agreed. The way they look at each other...
Talk about hyperbole.
Says it all....

Food Fight was an adaptation, too.
...or just a rip-off by lazy screenwriters.

Ingrid’s dress, hair style, jewelry accoutrements and overall style never surpassed in all of cinema history.
Absolute perfection.
This is my favorite movie of all time. No special effects just great acting.

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.
@Scott Knode
Amazing how now people still drink 🍸 and smoke cigarettes 🚬 heavily today.
These addictions are just to hard to stop for some people.
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!
Amen!!
And he couldn't even play the piano. :D I think he was a drummer.
Tentaram uma continuação de "E o vento levou..." E NÃO DEU CERTO !! Pelo menos, assisti e não gostei 😠
You can tell Ilsa is still in love with Rick in this scene, but very mindful of her husband's presence and of course, their marriage. That's a tricky line to walk. Ingrid does it beautifully.
Casablanca is that romantically perfect movie. You can watch it over & over.
Seen this film hundreds of times. It's #1 on my top 10 movies of all time.
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.
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.
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 !
Her beauty is timeless. This my favorite classic film. A masterpiece.
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.
That was acting. Every phrase had multiple meanings. Beautifully done.
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.
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.
"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 ❤
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.
Great 👍 acting brings our memories and emotions to the surface. This film did it for millions and me. I'll always love ❤️ it.
Absolute classic scene. To see her face when that song is playing gets me every time.
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!
One of the greatest scenes of all time.
This is a masterpiece of cinema.... And I love Casablanca.... Thanks for this exciting piece of cinematography
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.
A timeless classic that brings me back to my childhood and watching late late late night TV.
This movie is perfection
Cette scène est un bijou. Ce film est un chef-d'œuvre.
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.
she was so beautiful
now she is dead
She really was beautiful. One of the many timeless beauties of Classic Hollywood.
@@hoidoei7647
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.
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.
One of the very best movies ever made. Dooley Wilson's singing is just beyond compare. FLY NAVY!!!
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 movie and this song will always be in my memory. The movie is so good on so many different levels that I almost want to cry with joy. I wrote a book once and I had this song in the introduction. It is so timeless. "It's still the same old story, a fight for love and glory, a case of do or die." That's what life is all about. The struggle of man against what, he does not know.
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”😜😜😜
Such a powerful film moment, yet so subtle
One of the best movies that ever was filmed!! And Ingrid Bergman said one thousand words without uttering one! WOW!!!
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.
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.
Yes.I just think we have lost that age of elegance and class.Genteel ways
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.
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
One of the top-5 films ever made, even if it was improvised day by day. It'll live forever. Sheer magic!
Great actors, great screen play, great score and very evocative of the time. Brilliant.
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.
I completely agree with you.
Eu também.🧐
Hear,hear!
One of my all time favorites. The stars literally aligned for this great film.
what a wonderful scene. what an expression !! what professionals, what actors! she changes her face in seconds .. she shows everything in her eyes ... the best !!!!
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 ...

Not remembering how many times I have watched this movie. No, with the impeccable cast, director, the song, it turned out to be an Art and that is why it is timeless. Each time when I watch it, I can't quit but becoming to fall in love more.
Thank you for such a masterpiece.
T
This was and still is my favorite movie. An all-star cast delivering an award-winning performance!
Thank you for sharing this!
Still one of the most touching scenes in the history of cinema.
I could watch this movie a million times and never get tired of it.
This Film is great. A Classic Beauty. Thanks for sharing it.
After all these years it still brings tears to my eyes.
Easily and by far the best 2 minutes and 15 seconds in movie history.
Absolutely timeless. Ingrid Bergman was a beautiful woman. The music the acting it has the lot. Casablanca, brilliant film 👍🇬🇧❤️
This, along with Errol Flynn’s Robin Hood are two movies I never get tired of watching.
She was magnificent. 🌹The movie is soooooo good every time.
What a moment ---Still feel the passion down my spine
If there has ever been a more beautiful actress than Ingrid when she smiles, I have not seen her.
The gentleman playing Sam is terrific. And of course, Claude Rains steals every scene he is in.
The whole movie is word for word perfect. If you ask people why its so good each person gives a different answer.
One of my favourite classics together with Rebeca..mitic film,wonder couple & OBS❤😊" As time goes by"where there were always will be..never say never again
An unforgetabble Clasic. Thank You. God Bless🙏
This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever watched
Im Glad I stumbled across this scene, Im 17 right now and Ive always loved these Old movie scenes.Its so much more meaningful and deep than modern movies
I can remember my Dad playing this song on the piano at our home, back in the 'fifties, when I was a kid. It was one of my Mum's favourites. This certainly brings back memories!!
What a radiant, luminous, incandescent charm and beauty Ingrid Bergman had.
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
Truly amazing movie. I actually picked this as a movie to write about for a film review in college freshman year. I couldn’t even think of enough words to describe how great this movie is.
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..
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.
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.
You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
That was in the days when song-writers had brains !!!
yunju lee
play it again, Sam
Я это знаю наизусть. Подобно тому времени.
no this is just how most mainstream songs were written at that time, the same with right now, in the future when all the kids who hear this modern music grow up, they will say the same thing you did😂
It may interest you to know that this song was written for a Broadway play entitled 'Everybody's Welcome' in 1931.
