LOL. I’ve seen it a million times too.
I read somewhere that no one expected Casablanca to be such a major film. The story was that the stars were approaching the end of their contracts and needed one more movie to fulfill their contracts. Casablanca was just supposed to be that movie.
It was considered a “B” movie.
It was Wonderful.
I saw it for the first time at the Brattle Theater at Harvard University during a Bogie festival back in the 60’s.
I was blown away by it!
