This impeccably rendered Warner Brothers drama, one of the best-loved films of all time, represents an almost miraculous coming together of compelling story, well-polished screenplay, atmospheric cinematography, evocative score, and dead-on performances. We have here an entertaining mixture of intrigue, danger, and, ultimately, self-sacrifice, also the comings and goings of desperate refugees, over-bearing Nazis, and corrupt officials. But the film is also about Ingrid Bergman’s lovingly lit face, Humphrey Bogart’s imperfectly concealed vulnerability, and Claude Rains’s self-satisfied amorality. It gives us a typically craven Peter Lorre, a typically roguish Sidney Greenstreet, and a noble Paul Henreid, who’s perhaps more admirable than likeable. It gives us also a believable friendship between a white man (Bogart) and a black man (Dooley Wilson), remarkable in a 1942 film. Boasting nearly as many quotable lines as Hamlet and a screen romance that seems ageless, Casablanca has become one of our great cult films, a film embraced by all ages, a film beyond criticism.
