I watched this movie for the first time at 18, I'm 70 now and have watched it at least once a year ever since. My favorite movie; the best romance movie ever made.
(Warning: Spoiler ahead!) I agree that it is one of, if not THE, best romance film of all time, and part of what makes it so is that the mil lovers do not end up together. At the start of U.S. involvement in World War II, the end movie says that there are bigger issues than "the problems of three little people," so the lovers sacrifice their love and a life together to the greater good of society and the world. ironically, it is that decision to sacrifice their relationship ("We'll always have Paris") that makes it so affecting and romantic.
I’m only 55 but first saw Casablanca at age 16 watch twice a year at Christmas and then the summer shows in the park or rent it. I would love to know when it is coming to Chicago to be shown in a large screen.
I first saw Casablanca at the Brattle Theater when I was in college. I am now 70 years old. I have copies on VHS, DVD, and now Amazon Prime. Time has gone by with this beautiful friendship. I’m still looking at you, Kid.
I've lost track of how many times I have watched and enjoyed this movie. I also can't remember the first time I saw it. I will be 75 next month, and I still scramble to get to the TV every time it shows. Long Live Casa Blanca.
A great film i never get tired of watching, and a few years ago i entered a competition and won a signed copy of a book by Michael Walsh called as time goes by which follows on from the end of the film and rick and ilsa get back together, it's a good read.
Every June 23rd ever since I bought the VHS, and would later replace it with DVD, I watch this movie in remembrance of my fiance who died 2 months before we were to get married. We knew each other for three years. It was our second year together when we saw it at a theater. It became our date movie. As it turned out we both loved the movie. She didn't know I saw it before and I didn't know she saw it before. Yet, I knew Bogart's lines and she knew Bergman's lines and so we whispered them quietly to each other in the theater without disturbing anyone around us. To my dear Amy, here's looking at you kid. R.I.P (1960-1984)
When you watch the La Marseillaise scene, keep in mind that this was filmed in 1942, during the German occupation of France, and many of the actors are French. The emotion in that scene is real.
And it being 1942, the irony of this display of patriotism taking place **in a colonially occupied territory** was lost on everyone, too. But not today.
The reason why this movie is so enduring is because most of us have had a past love slip away and we never let that flame in our heart entirely die...we entertain the thought of possibly someday, somehow, being reunited...and because time has gone by...things just don't seem to pick up where they left off...and that's why,sentimentality so,we'll always have Paris.
@@sampuatisamuel9785 That aspect so true, however even though it has so many things and minor plots and characters in it, it is that which draws the most attention
A definite movie masterpiece. It was made 11 years before I was born and I never get tired of watching it. Great story, cinematography, acting and music. It was almost flawless in every respect. Even though I’ve seen it a couple of dozen times it always makes me feel good each time I watch it.
I put it up there with any of the classic films. I watch it whenever I can again, and Again and AGAIN. Back then they really had actors. Not like in these days.
I watch this movie every year around my birthday to remind me even though life gets intolerable things will always get better here's looking at you kid.
I've seen this movie approx. 20 times over the years and still enjoy it like the first time I saw it. A timeless movie with two of Hollywood'd greatest Stars.
I know it's considered by many film scholars to be either the best or one of the few, but after seeing it once or twice it made no impression on me...then it happened. I had insomnia and started watching, sure it would put me to sleep, but no - I couldn't stop. I've seen it countless times since and I never tire of it. And I've yet to figure out what makes it so good. I've seen all the film study commentary but it hasn't shed any light on why I find it fascinating.
I had always viewed this film on a small screen, i.e., television, vcr, computer. Then I had an opportunity to view it on the Big Screen (in the theater). It was an entirely different experience!! It is the best movie ever produced.
I bought this on Amazon a few years ago, thinking I'd just paid 20 bucks for a single viewing. Not So! I've watched it so many times that it's more than FREE!
Ladco77 you and my husband both. And he NEVER Cries. Only this and the end of One of Our Aircraft is missing. At the end first in Dutch then in English a sign says. The Netherlands will Rise again. That gets him too. My mother saw it during the war and said at the end the whole audience stood up clapping and balling their eyes out.
Our film professor said he'd won a white dinner jacket from the famous WB auction, said to be one of 12 WB Wardrobe white dinner jackets they had for Rick for movie. He wore it on the last day of class.
Paul Henreid was underrated. Without him, there was no Casablanca. The singing of the French song is real with real tears. All the actors are fabulous!
One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when the Germans were singing their patriotic song and Rick quickly cut in to have the French anthem being played over top of it all. Very powerful and much more important than the romance between a few people. I think that resonated most with me because in the end, that's what Rick decided for everyone. He knew what was most important for the world and he chose the world instead of himself.
Casablanca ranks as the #1 movie of ALL time! No other film made since then, and no future films will ever be able to match the mystique and popularity of this incredible masterpiece! The romance endures over endless time.
Casablanca is a great film classic, and of course I recognize the famous lines. But I've never seen the complete film! I'll add it to my bucket list. The acting is superb, as is the script.
If you get a chance. See it on the big screen. I did when it the 50th year celebration. Although I had seen it on TV a number times, when I saw it on the big screen I noticed things that I had not seen on the small screen.
Peter Lorre (born László Löwenstein; 26 June 1904 - 23 March 1964) was an Austro-Hungarian-born American actor. He began his stage career in Vienna before moving to Germany where he worked first on the stage, then in film in Berlin in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Lorre caused an international sensation in the German film M (1931), directed by Fritz Lang, in which he portrayed a serial killer who preys on little girls. Lorre left Germany when Adolf Hitler came to power. His first English-language film was Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) made in Great Britain. Eventually settling in Hollywood, he later became a featured player in many Hollywood crime and mystery films. In his initial American films, Mad Love and Crime and Punishment, he continued to play murderers, but he was then cast playing Mr. Moto, the Japanese detective, in a run of B pictures. From 1941 to 1946 he mainly worked for Warner Bros. His first film at Warner was The Maltese Falcon (1941), which began a sequence in which he appeared with Humphrey Bogart and Sydney Greenstreet. This was followed by Casablanca (1942), the second of the nine films in which Lorre and Greenstreet appeared together. Lorre's other films include Frank Capra's Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) and Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954). Frequently typecast as a sinister foreigner, his later career was erratic. Lorre was the first actor to play a James Bond villain as Le Chiffre in a TV version of Casino Royale (1954). Some of his last roles were in horror films directed by Roger Corman. ...(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lorre)
I have to say I´m surprised how good of an actor Ingrid Bergman was. Some of the acting of those days don´t really stand the the test of time in my opinion. Alot of the acting seems a bit superficial, but Bergman was different, there was something real about her acting.
Here's looking at you kid ! 😘 play it again ssm .. Casablanca Rick comes over like he's cold but he's a big softy really when he starts to get feelings for his Co Actress in the film ! , Like these old black and white movies.
Unlike today's films that rely on over-emoting, and special effects this great film is primarily driven by character (and all the acting is superb. Right down to the piano player Dooley Wilson -- excellent; Claude Rains as the inspector; the intense Peter Lorre -- incredible and the debonair yet conniving Sydney Greenstreet) and most importantly, dialogue. It's almost as if, Hal Wallis knew exactly who the right actors were for this. A curiosity? There are several actors in minor roles that later went on to the Superman tv-series ( Leonid Kinskey, Dan Seymour). The Scandinavian at the bar, in the beginning, is John Qualen -- years later he'd be in John Wayne's "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," & "The Searchers," & "The Sons of Katie Elder." Hal Wallis, of course, made a lot of money producing several Elvis Presley movies & Casablanca director Michael Curtiz ("King Creole"). Great trivia. I don't mean to undermine today's filmmakers but there is no "Casablanca," type films today. None. Maybe not because of a lack of directors but a lack of original writers to create such a story. This was an era when "Citizen Kane," & "Gone With the Wind," were being made -- it was a highly competitive time & it's in black and white. A bygone day. What do we have today?
It's amazing to me that the project somehow struck pure gold. I don't know how many days it was in production but I think a Hollywood director cranked out something like a movie a month (or more?) in those days and the Casablanca script was being written day by day as it was being shot. What were the odds a masterpiece would emerge from such beginnings? But Curtiz seemed to thrive in that kind of work environment - this isn't the only film of his I keep going back to, just the best.
Hungry for fine B/W films of value?...Here are three fairly current offerings that immediately come to mind as I type this: 1...The Artist .(2011) . A silent feature that swept the oscars and other award givers with "Best Picture"-etc. 2...The Good German (2006) 3...Goodnight and Good Luck (2005) Just for openers .....If you do a little searching around there are lots of others within the annual cornucopia of feature film releases in just the USA alone (averaging 700-800 films per annum). >>>>>>>>>>>>>Joel Laykin , Hong Kong
Also Casablanca is full of cinema history. Conrad Veidt starred in two German silent films The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Different from the Others, the latter one of the first movies to deal with gay men sympathetically. Peter Lorre starred in M and in a couple of Hitchcock's British films. And then Marcel Dalio in a small part here was a lead in two Jean Renoir classics Grand Illusion and The Rules of the Game. Of course Ingrid Bergman as a Swede was not a refugee. Many of the players, the screenwriters, composer Max Steiner, director Michael Curtiz, and the Warner brothers were all Jews and many of them had close relatives still in various European countries and in danger. Casablanca has been described as THE best Hollywood studio movie ever made. The only other contenders are The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind, but they're really different and champs in their own way. There are other great and wonderful Hollywood movies, but nothing's like Casablanca.
@@murrayaronson3753 - Great information, Murray. And I agree. Need to include Welles' "Citizen Kane," in there as well. Though many people don't always get it.
@@lastrada52 Citizen Kane which I saw again recently has this problem for me. A friend just the other day remarked that none of the characters are really likable or warm hearted. I first watched Citizen Kane on Million Dollar Movie on TV around 1956. My twelve year older brother was so enthusiastic about Citizen Kane. I found it cold. Years later I still do. Yes Citizen Kane is an amazing film and I understand people's admiration of it. BTW I worked in a bookstore in Beverly Hills where many famous people shopped. Orson Welles came by once in a while. The folly of youth and I wasn't a teenager, but I said to Mr. Welles that I thought Citizen Kane was a great film, but I liked more The Magnificent Ambersons and thought some of the scenes brilliant. He thanked me of course. I have no idea what he bought, I only remember that he was very fat and very stiff.
Love this Film! I wish I could find the 60 Minutes report that Harry Reasoner did on 'Casablanca, The Greatest Movie Ever' I think that is what the segment was titled? I have NEVER watched the colorised version.
I also have been looking for that segment. They visited the Warner Bros lot and some props were still there. I called the place where you could get copies of 60 Min. episodes but they said there were copyrighted segments in it so it was not available. I think it was shown in 1991.
I find it astonishing how much Leonard Cohens big love, Marianne Ihlen did look like Ingrid Bergman. Yeh, both scandinaviens, but anyway... Beautyful ladies both.
lk Yes...They’re both beautiful & Scandinavian women (Ingrid Bergman Swedish & Marianne Norwegian), but Ingrid has her beat in the looks & talent departments...
It makes me kind of annoyed how whenever someone says “Casablanca”, everyone says “Play it again, Sam.” That’s not even a line from the movie. I’m a firm believer that “Here’s look at you, kid,” is a much stronger quote and my personal favorite movie quote of all time.
Thanks Warner Bros that you dared to make this great movie in 1941....He is looking at you kid is one of the memorable lines Bogart improvsed this line!
World War II (1939-1945) Axis powers (Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria) versus Allies (U.S., Britain, France, USSR ( Russia) Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Yugoslavia).
I watched this movie for the first time at 18, I'm 70 now and have watched it at least once a year ever since. My favorite movie; the best romance movie ever made.

The greatest movie I've ever seen or ever will see.

MY CONDOLENCESES!
Bill Wilkinson: You're very romantic. Amy was a lucky woman. =^..^=
How sad! And how lovely and romantic that you whispered your lines to one another !
Sweet memories!!!
Aww man, that made me cry. I'm so sorry for your loss. My last words to my mother before she passed away were "Here's looking at you kid"
When you watch the La Marseillaise scene, keep in mind that this was filmed in 1942, during the German occupation of France, and many of the actors are French. The emotion in that scene is real.
One of the great scene ever!!!
Many of the actors were also Jewish.
On what side ?
yes some of the actors have tears in there eyes while singing very moving scene.
And it being 1942, the irony of this display of patriotism taking place **in a colonially occupied territory** was lost on everyone, too. But not today.
Love this movie. Classic story of Good overcoming Evil. Plus Ingrid Bergman was so Beautiful ❤
This is truly one of the greatest and best films ever made. Every time I see it I fall in love with it all over again. Thanks so much for sharing CBS.
The reason why this movie is so enduring is because most of us have had a past love slip away and we never let that flame in our heart entirely die...we entertain the thought of possibly someday, somehow, being reunited...and because time has gone by...things just don't seem to pick up where they left off...and that's why,sentimentality so,we'll always have Paris.
What a heartwarming anology
That's a part of its appeal but Casablanca the movie is soo much more as well

My favorite LOVE story, "Here's looking at you kid"💗💗💗🇺🇸🐱
Ingrid Bergman, is one of my favorite actresses of the black and white era, in film. She is so genuine and beautiful in her acting.
Watch the anniversary this year in theaters. I remember the first time I watched it I was 16-17. I'm 24 now, and I just watch it constantly.
I put it up there with any of the classic films. I watch it whenever I can again, and Again and AGAIN. Back then they really had actors. Not like in these days.
Love it, and every time I see it I'm STILL afraid they won't get away at the end!!
I watch this movie every year around my birthday to remind me even though life gets intolerable things will always get better here's looking at you kid.
I've seen this movie approx. 20 times over the years and still enjoy it like the first time I saw it. A timeless movie with two of Hollywood'd greatest Stars.
that’s the true definition of a legendary movie: after seeing it 20 times, you still enjoy it.
I don't even know how many times I have seen this movie. Simply the best ever made. Love Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart.
I know it's considered by many film scholars to be either the best or one of the few, but after seeing it once or twice it made no impression on me...then it happened.

I have couple of words for you, the whole is better that the sum of its parts.

One of the best drama play of all time
I was just watching it 😁. Ingrid Bergman was such a natural beauty 😍

My favourite movie of all time…
My favorite movie!
My favorite movie of all times , music 🎶, acting🎭and storyline stays with us forever.
Our film professor said he'd won a white dinner jacket from the famous WB auction, said to be one of 12 WB Wardrobe white dinner jackets they had for Rick for movie. He wore it on the last day of class.
i watched this movie yesterday. its really good. three layers deep. i like.
Paul Henreid was underrated.
Without him, there was no Casablanca.
The singing of the French song is real with real tears.
All the actors are fabulous!
This movie still is worth watching.
perfect film, quite simply the best
I'll never get tired of watching this movie
They cracked it with that film. Nothing will beat it.
Great lines...and I said I will never leave you.....and you never will....WOW
It's so much more than war time romance. The script is superb.
One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when the Germans were singing their patriotic song and Rick quickly cut in to have the French anthem being played over top of it all. Very powerful and much more important than the romance between a few people. I think that resonated most with me because in the end, that's what Rick decided for everyone.

A classic? You mean " a masterpiece."
Masterpiece for sure
this movie was truly remarkable
One of my favorites of all time. TCM via Fathomevents showed in the Movie theaters in Jan. 2022
I love how CBS put the title as play it again and the "play it again Sam" line not ever said in the movie.
the greatest movie ever made...case closed!
I have to disagree with you. There is no maybe about It. This IS the greatest movie ever made.
One of them anyway. Another is Persona, but how can you compare one Bergman with another?
No arguments here, my friend.
No argument from me!!!
Agree. no ifs or buts...
Brilliant Movie .
Thanks for Posting.
🌍
A movie masterpiece.
Finally, something from CBS that's not fake news- Casablanca is the greatest movie every made. It's perfect.
Plzzzz....people like you are pathetic! DtRump's cultist! Smdh!
Funny, the French are resisting occupation by their own version of our Orange Skull.
Why is it that stupid people cannot resist the need to demonstrate they are stupid?
One of my favorite pictures...
The movie gets better on repeated viewing- not many movies are like that
The part of Bergman was offered to Hedy Lamarr. She refused... I think Hedy regretted it later.
Casablanca ranks as the #1 movie of ALL time! No other film made since then, and no future films will ever be able to match the mystique and popularity of this incredible masterpiece! The romance endures over endless time.

Warner Brothers -First National Film . Used to be their lot. Cafe flash back Paris scene still exists on WB lot.
Love this Film! I wish I could find the 60 Minutes report that Harry Reasoner did on 'Casablanca, The Greatest Movie Ever' I think that is what the segment was titled? I have NEVER watched the colorised version.
Their are scenes from it on youtube. It SUCKS!
I also have been looking for that segment. They visited the Warner Bros lot and some props were still there. I called the place where you could get copies of 60 Min. episodes but they said there were copyrighted segments in it so it was not available. I think it was shown in 1991.
It was re-broadcast during Harry Reasoner's Final Episode (when all the hosts plus Andy Rooney said their farewells.
The closest you could get to blasphemy in movies would be colorizing Casablanca!!!
It was recently posted on UA-cam at . Enjoy!
Here's looking at you kid
I wish the ingrates tearing our country apart would sit down and watch this.
I find it astonishing how much Leonard Cohens big love, Marianne Ihlen did look like Ingrid Bergman. Yeh, both scandinaviens, but anyway...
Beautyful ladies both.
lk Yes...They’re both beautiful & Scandinavian women (Ingrid Bergman Swedish & Marianne Norwegian), but Ingrid has her beat in the looks & talent departments...
I really enjoyed this video
Toda la sensualidad de él en la película ,la tenía en la vida
I've been in Casablacnka with MS Europa
I still haven's spotted Jack Benny who is supposed to be somewhere in the movie. Any hints?
Su matrimonio era FUEGO TOTAL con Lauren Baccal
The Holly Grail of all movies made
I have just one thing to say here: I’m shocked, shocked!
For anyone who doesn't like this movie, its because they are "the usual suspects"!
So far there are 42 ...
From TV show The Odd Couple Oscar tells Felix it was always his fantasy to Rick but his version he gets the money and Ingrid Bergman
We always will.
It makes me kind of annoyed how whenever someone says “Casablanca”, everyone says “Play it again, Sam.” That’s not even a line from the movie. I’m a firm believer that “Here’s look at you, kid,” is a much stronger quote and my personal favorite movie quote of all time.
Bogie 💕💕💕💕💕💕had a crush on him since 1977
I think Humphrey Bogart is the sexiest male actor Hollywood has ever had.
What is really needed now ..are Movies made in b&w :) And Bogie era Actors.
Thanks Warner Bros that you dared to make this great movie in 1941....He is looking at you kid is one of the memorable lines Bogart improvsed this line!
I love it , I love bogi , I watched this move every time

As time goes by. Michael Baugh PhD.
'why do they keep quoting the wrong thing...' Its ' Play it once, Sam.' NOT 'play it again, Sam'
I didn't know Alex Wagner was on CBS This Morning, would have watched more of it.
All the gin joints in the world, she walks into mine
3:34 is based
Ma perche'?
I’m shocked…
Ganó premio a la película del siglo
Did CBS get something right just recently? When I say recently I mean 5 years ago...still not bad considering.
Whoelse cried?
I can't just get over it! And i dont want to be bergman or the two guys!
