Vastly overrated

Rating: 1/10 (24 April 2019)

Anyone with an open mind/opinion will agree that this is a horribly overrated film. Period. I am 62 and have seen this film countless times and, frankly, I just don't get all the praise-especially as a "romantic film". There is little chemistry between the two leads and "story" merely gets in the way of the rest of the film. Sorry, folks, but anyone can pick more romantic movies-"Sleepless in Seattle", "Random Harvest", "To Have and Have Not", "The Best Years of Our Lives", "Marty", etc. Heck, there is more chemistry between Hepburn and Bogart in "The African Queen" than here. Of course, I suspect that people who think "Casablanca@ is a great romantic film probably think Katherine Hepburn was a "great actress". She was great at playing variations on the same character. I like Hepburn, but "great"? Nope.
