One of the best movie ever made, if any movie was to be singled out as the most laudable and classic picture of all time there is no doubt that Casablanca would be right up there. Nobody associated with the film guessed that it would become a screen classic. It went on to win the Oscar for Best Film of 1943 with an award for Michael Curtiz' taut direction.
Oddly enough, the film's memorable airport ending was written and conceived just shortly before filming wrapped up, with neither Bergman nor Bogart knowing whether or not she would leave him for husband Paul Henried. Sydney Greenstreet, Conrad Veidt, Victor Francen and Peter Lorre all gave sterling performances.
An added bonus is hearing "As Time Goes By" throughout the film, a haunting song played by pianist Dooley Wilson. I happened to find this song on YouTube which also happens to be one of the memorable scenes in the movie.
The other most memorable scene is the ending which makes this movie so endearing. Casablanca will be seen and loved by filmgoers for generations, as time goes by.
