Not a good picture of Ingrid Bergman gracing the review. I don’t remember seeing this movie before. According to Crowther not something to regret, especially.

I’ve seen it. Pretty good movie.

Anything that reminds me of Ingrid Bergman is a good thing.
Scanned the review, saw the word “marplot”. What the hell does that mean?

The movie sounds like a pretty good description of the sad affliction of bi-polarism with touches of paranoia.....less understood 5-6 decades ago than today.

It's interesting to speculate that the film would be viewed and critiqued in a different light today....and that it may have been made before its time.

Also, a weirdly interesting story about the sister of Ephraim Zimbalist, Jr. getting a divorce. That guy was a good actor in a lot of detective/cop roles. '77 Sunset Strip' and later'The F.B.I.'
Very interesting family - Father was a famous violinist and very wealthy; the mother was an opera star.
Has to be the same family. From the short story, it sounds like the sister married a real "cad."

You just made me want to go home a watch Casablanca in 1080 upscale from DVD.

When she is sitting on the couch in Paris with Bogart - she shines.

Sorry folks - just day dreaming.

“Scanned the review, saw the word “marplot”. What the hell does that mean?”
According to the dictionary, it is something that meddles or mixes up plans. Evidently Robert Montgomery’s character was a marplot. I remember when Bewitched was a popular tv show in the ‘60s, my mother told me that Elizabeth Montgomery’s father was Robert Montgomery. I had no idea who she was talking about. I suppose he was a very popular actor in the ‘40s.

How did they know it was Heaven....were they having drinks with Kim Novak...??

From the short story, it sounds like the sister married a real "cad."

Looking at the dates involved, they may have been well matched. He divorced his first wife 2/21/1938 after about 5 years, then married Ms. Zimbalist on April 19, 1938. Whirlwind romance, or 'the other woman'? Looks like her mother died in 1938, at about age 56, as well.
