Unforgettable.

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2001)

Thank goodness this movie isn't associated with a specific holiday or it would be as over-played as "It's a Wonderful Life." Members of the cast and crew have said that working on this picture was just like any other - no one had any idea that it would go on to become such a classic. Even while shooting it, changes were being made - the famous ending where Claude Rains and Humphrey Bogart walk off into the fog was not in the original script. (TV's The Simpsons even featured an alternative ending in one of their shows!) The plot involves wartime refugees gathering in Morocco hoping to obtain scarce exit visas to Lisbon. All of the elements - production, story, music, script and direction are woven together to create a motion picture masterpiece. But more than anything it is the rogues gallery of supporting players that makes this picture so memorable.
