Now, if there ever was a classical melodrama, this is the one. Ingrid Bergman, Humfrey Boghard and that other fellow form a love triangle of some stature. Casablanca is a French colony in WW2 that hasn`t yet been taken by the Germans, but its not really free as well. Rick (Boghard) runs a bar in Casablanca and he doesn`t do anything with politics until Ilse, his former girlfriend, and her husband - a famous revolutionaire - Laszlo come along. Rick has the power to help them escape from Casablanca, but because of his problems in personal life with Ilse he can`t do that. And it`s a fact that he and Ilse are still in love, but she can`t leave Laszlo either - so this is a very complicated triangle. There`s also the chef of the local police involved, who doesn`t know which way to go - to be with the Germans or with the French. Anyhow, I found this to be a great film, probably one of the best moments of black-and-white cinematography with brilliant acting, fresh dialogue and a good message.
