She really loved Rick, but he was not in the same class..................

[Skooz]

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

[Pearls Before Swine]

It could have been the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Different, and more modern.

As an aside, she is wonderful in that movie.

[EnglishOnly]

Karl took her to her home, - in Casa B.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Her heart was with Rick, but her mind was with Victor.

[Rockingham]

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.

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.....

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

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?

[LouieFisk]

Neither. She was secretly having a torrid fling Sam.

[Veggie Todd]

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

[GreenLanternCorps]

I’m going to drag Harry Burns and Sally Albright into this conversation...

Ingrid Bergman is low maintenance, Sally is high maintenance but thinks she is low maintenance...

I would have chosen Lazlo ever since I saw him in Now Voyager!.....with Bette Davis

[Leep]

I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
Especially that ahole Romney.

[SoCal Pubbie]

I’m shocked, shocked to find that such a debate is going on in here!

[TalBlack]

Her husband.

[Political Junkie Too]

Sorry, but a debate from The Daily Beast don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world to me.

[Texas Eagle]

She “desired” Rick but she was still married to Victor and felt obligated to stay with him. That’s why when she learned he was still alive she left Rick in Paris.
