Simply special

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2005)

Casablanca is quite simply one of the most enjoyable films you are likely to see, for so many reasons. It is a film has just about everything you could want, with great romance, suspense and drama. The acting is superb from all those involved, though the absolute cool of Humphrey Bogart and the sheer beauty of Ingmar Bergman working together is probably a highlight.
But more then anything, it is the incredible script that really needs to be mentioned. I have yet to see a film that can maintain the level of satisfaction from the barrage of instantly classic one-liners that's offered here, and there is such a wide variety of fantastic characters that make this such a gem.
If you want to see a 40's film that really shows the quality of the work during that time, then Casablanca is the perfect place to start.
