Laszlo was the coolest, smoothest, suavist dude who ever lived.

It could have been the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Different, and more modern.
As an aside, she is wonderful in that movie.
To: CondoleezzaProtege
Karl took her to her home, - in Casa B.

Who’s arguing about Pierre? I don’t spend any time thinking about that POS. And yeah Rick is the one.

Of course Ilsa loved Rick and expected to go with him, not Victor. If otherwise, then Rick sacrifices little in sending Ilsa off to America with Victor. And without that sacrifice, the story lacks a satisfying melodramatic resolution.
To: Red Badger
She loved them both, but in different ways. Laszlo was the idealist whom she loved & respected. Rick was the passionate, more physical lover. She probably wanted to stay with Rick, but new she was needed for something higher with Victor.

Yikes....that’s like trying to figure out if Rocky Sullivan really went out a coward or if he faked it to accommodate the request of his childhood pal Father Jerry.....

He was a hero of the anti-Nazi underground. I think that gives him a lot of cachet.

She's a terribly written, wishy-washy character. Bergman herself said that she had no clue how to play it because it wasn't in the script and neither the writers nor the director knew what to tell her.
Casablanca is a wonderful example of the studio system at its peak, with a ton of amazing character actors and some great lines, but as an actual story, uh, not so much. And I say that as someone who has seen it 50 times and can recite most of it.

I’d love to see a “sequel”, either as a book or film, on what happened to Victor,Lund and Rick.
How did Rick’s decision for her and him play out by war’s end?

Neither. She was secretly having a torrid fling Sam.

Now I have to dig out the DVD and watch it again.

Did she love Victor or what all 3 of them loved- freedom from Nazi oppression ?
