Huh?: Yet another movie I rented because I felt I needed to see it.
Was I Excited To See It?: Not a chance. Put it in the DVD player, pushed "play", and was prepared to be bored senseless.
Was I Bored?: Not a chance. This movie was very good and surprisingly smartly written.
Confused?: Yep, I had to research why in the heck Casablanca in Africa was under the control of the French.
What I Didn't Know: There are about 10 memorable lines in this movie, most of which I had no idea were attributable to the movie. And the music made me think about "When Harry Met Sally".

Never seen it either, but after reading your "review", I think I'll go out and rent it...
Best. Movie. Ever. Ingrid Bergman is stunning. A little trivia, Ronald Reagan turned down the part of her Husband Laslo.
I agree it was a great movie. But I've never figured out why guys like Bogart and Gable were considered so hot sex symbols.
I am highly disappointed that a person with a law degree doesn't know anymore about history, French Morraco, or the Viechy(sp?) Gov't. during WW2
this movie has much, MUCH more class than "When Harry Met Sally"
Hollywood used to at least produce classy glitz.....now it's all smut.
AMEN 9:41 - in the old movies, when a man held a woman or kissed her,it was a slow process that left the viewer wanting more.
Cannot beat the classics. Not gonna happen.
Aviator is another pretty good flick about the life and times of Howard Hughes. The casting left a bit to be desired though.
