Frankly, it's earned its reputation.

Certainly a more accomplished cast of players cannot be imagined, and their direction by Michael Curtiz is inspired.

Nothing short of an invasion could add much to Casablanca.
December 20, 2014
There are some of the very finest character actors that Warner Brothers could muster and a rich, detailed screenplay studded with an indecent number of sparklingly quotable lines. It is a movie to play again, and again.
February 22, 2015
Curtiz's film is a classic for a reason -- it's crafted with the precision, detail and beauty of a Fabergé egg; the dialogue is hauntingly memorable and, in Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, it has one of the most magnetic screen pairings in history.

While the future was uncertain, the resolute characters of this exquisite wartime drama found peace through love and resistance.
February 17, 2015
An entertaining adventure story played against the colorful background of the cosmopolitan city that has become an important stop on the timetable of the European refugee.

Knowing the story doesn't impair one's wonder at the undiminished magic of Casablanca.

The film's tensions, sexual and dramatic, derive from the ambiguity of characters' motives. We can never be too sure about Rick and Renault until the final fadeout.

Casablanca is the most sociable, the most companionable film ever made. Life as an endless party.
February 26, 2014
The reason Casablanca endures is that it's a timeless love story wrapped inside a gripping wartime thriller, written with such wit and meaning that it's still quoted (and misquoted) decades later.

Nobody lights a torch like Ingrid Bergman's Ilsa or carries one like Humphrey Bogart's Rick.
