REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 17-Mar-2006)

This film is known throughout the world as one of the greatest ever made. The American Film Institute named it the second greatest film of all time (surpassed only by Citizen Kane). It has been honored by the AFI eleven times in five different lists. It was also one of the first films put into the National Film Registry. It won three Oscars in 1943 for Best Director (Michael Curtiz), Best Screenplay, and Best Picture of the year. Humphrey Bogart gives one of his best performances as exiled American Rick Blaine. Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Dooley Wilson, and Peter Lorre complete one of Hollywood’s greatest supporting casts of all time. As the years pass, Casablanca becomes more and more popular. Hopefully, in 100 years we can still hear Sam playing As Time Goes By in the late night hours of Casablanca.
