Hollywood at its most significant

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2011)

Casablanca is a Hollywood movie made in the peak of Hollywood filmmaking. A powerful romance so well-acted by a superb cast that includes Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains. The writing is excellent with a pitch-perfect running time and many lines that have become classic. All of these elements are expertly brought together by director Curtiz in his best film. It stands alongside Citizen Kane and Gone with the wind for the best movie ever made. It certainly features Hollywood at the peak of its form an engaging acting at the top of its form. Not one moment I regretted watching for a second but the end is the best part.
