CASABLANCA

Started by: admin (1622)

Earlier today watched, for the umpteenth time, this film. I have watched it so many times I know the script. In my opinion the BEST film ever made. It has everything. It's a Love story, music, comedy, a good plot, and a good twist at the end, and the cinematography is Superb, who needs colour
No effing and blinding, no gratuitous sex scenes. Lets hop[e the POWERS THAT BE don't try and make a remake of it. I've not seen one remake of a film that is better than the original. It can't be bettered.

At the evening rushes, the producers thought the last scene at the airport didn't look right. The airplane looked, sterile, dead, so they ordered the director to reshoot it the next day with actors as mechanics, working on it. Unfortunately the plane was a cutout, 2/3 normal size. It would look ridiculous if actors stood next to it. So they reshot it, using hastily summoned dwarfs clad in overalls to portray the mechanics.

Agreed. One of of the greatest movies ever.

I was quite disappointed that the tradition of screening 'Casablanca' on TV around Christmas time, apparently, has disappeared last couple of years.

Still have a VHS video of Casablanca. Guess I should get it digitised whilst my VHS player still works.
