A nice story with a great background on it

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2014)

The story is one of a simple romance, nothing really special about it. But the the background upon which the romance is built is nicely set. It's set on a world war II environment, while it may not be the only one, yet it may well be one of the first to do so. Also it offers a different look at the war environment, which through Morocco's Casablanca buffer state. which offer the condition where Nazi officials and resistance members can face one another without necessarily fearing an immediate shootout. Bogart acted out just as the other actors of the time period, using fake and forced out accent in his speech. On the other hand, Bergman tried to act naturally and quite succeeded, especially with the help of her softer European accent.
