Casablanca is movies
Said Umberto Eco after going on and on about semiotics and other fancy concepts, and I agree. It sums up Old Hollywood as well as can be imagined. It's amazing how a script that was written as the filming took place and was a compromise between writer Koch's and director Curtiz's intentions can work so perfectly. One of the films that kicked off my interest in older movies.

And it's totally open for a sequel, with Renault and Rick going off to have crazy adventures. Maybe a TV series.
