CAST 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.
