This is one reason I believe a movie like Casablanca will never be made again. In that movie there was definitely a spark between Bogart and Bacall (?) but they never did anything about it -- and that was the emotional power behind the movie. I agree, but the producers and investors of the movie thought it was a total flop, and almost refused to release it. They didn't recognize they had a classic. I think that's an illustration that great movies come along every once in a while, but no one has ever had the "magic formula" to create them at will. Alfred Hitchcock is probably the closes to that ability.
