Best Screenplay ever!

Rating: Null/10 (4 September 2001)

One of the landmark Hollywood films. It started a whole new wave of directing and writing. Probably the best screenplay of all time, people find themselves quoting it without even knowing it. The film about a love that was never meant to be between Rick (Humphrey Bogart) and Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman). Besides the two leads their are also good performances by Peter Lorre, Paul Heinreid, Dooley Wilson, Conrad Veit, and Claude Rains in the performance of a lifetime as the corrupt police chief of Casablanca. The film is dark and beautiful. The wonderful action blends beautifully with the lovely performances. Not many scenes can top the foggy scene on the airstrip at the film's climax. I don't think it's the (AFI) second best film of all time (Gone With The Wind, Psycho, Godfather, and Citizen Kane are better)but it still a must see!
