When Bergman complained that she needed to know who her character loved more, Rick or her husband, the director reportedly told her to play it as if it could go either way. It ended up being one of the most compelling aspects of her performance.vikkitikkitavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501311175482530001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-82561339506341710512007-07-01T21:43:00.000-05:002007-07-01T21:43:00.000-05:00Elk-The Marsailles scene is great.

Strasser: "What nationality are you, Mr. Blaine?"<BR/>Rick: "I'm a drunkard."<BR/><BR/>I never get tired of Casablanca.<BR/><BR/>Erik-<BR/>Skiing certianly was more fatal for Sonny Bono.<BR/><BR/>If I recall correctly, Bing Crosby died on a gold course as well. Sounds like actors need to be cautious on golf courses.<BR/><BR/>Macguffin-<BR/>He was marvelous, wasn't he? The Maltese Falcon (which had, of course, the ultimate Macguffin-- the Maltese Falcon), The African Queen, The Caine Mutiny-- he was incredible.<BR/><BR/>Barbara-<BR/>We're willing to forgive you if you promise you'll see it some day.<BR/><BR/>Valerie-<BR/>Absolutely. It's funny-- I didn't see it until I was about 20, when they showed it at the student union at my college. I was astounded how great it was.<BR/><BR/>Kristi-<BR/>In the words of Wayne: "I did not know that!"<BR/><BR/>On the DVD I have, Roger Ebert has a great discussion of the movie-- I recommend getting that edition if you don't have it already.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-50295962554636372222007-07-01T21:12:00.000-05:002007-07-01T21:12:00.000-05:00By far, my favorite movie.Did you know the airport...By far, my favorite movie.<BR/><BR/>Did you know the airport scene was filmed at Van Nuys airport in California and that in order to give more depth to the scene (to make the planes seem further away), they had midgets working on the planes instead of full-sized people.GETkristiLOVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873004576844292852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-43853712868421095682007-07-01T17:31:00.000-05:002007-07-01T17:31:00.000-05:00There's a reason this movie is a classic.
