Absolutely Flawless
I have to say that I've never watched this film in full until I got this DVD and then I was amazed. I never knew the logistics of the story before, that Casablanca was an underground weigh station for people -- mostly rich Jews, who were the only ones who could afford the long journey by plane and then the long wait in Casablanca until they could procure the necessary travel documents -- trying to escape Europe and the Nazi Holocaust.
Bogart as a person found his truest niche in this film as a rich, weathered elite who walked the nearly impenetrable but thinnest of lines between bleeding-heart caring and seething contempt. Bergman, on the other hand, is that rarest of women whom guys like Rick resolve to accumulate all their money and power in the first place to protect and champion. If he's the hard outer shell, she's that gooey inner heart of gold he exists to protect -- until it seems that she was false and thereby is born his supremest of cynicisms that never dies.
