This was Raymond Chandler's first original screenplay, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
Chandler had difficulties finishing it and had to go on the booze badly at risk of his life to get there.
This is the bluray version. excellent film
Last night on BBC4 - Casablanca

This must have been a restored version, because the blacks and whites are just beautiful and sharp. I love this film, despite it's subdued propaganda.

Me too. The only problem I have with it is the Bergman character. Aside from being pretty I never understand why a bloke like Rick would be so crazy about her, and the Paris flashback where that should be explained is the only lame scene in the film.
Alternative ending:

It's also where one of the many continuity errors in the film occur - when Rick is waiting for Ilsa at the train station it is pouring with rain, Sam turns up with the letter and the two of them are soaking wet, yet the next shot is of them boarding the train and miraculously their clothes are dry.
Unusally the film is shot in the exact sequence order of the script; because the script was being written as the film was being made.
A somewhat self indugent analysis of why Casablanca is such a well-loved film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC_kfwa5-kg
there is no accounting for love. and i'd say she was a bit better than pretty:eyebrows: agree tho, probably not rick's typeQuote:

Its still not a stunning picture but much improved all same. it is 86 years young after all.
