M&M: Taking Shots At ‘Casablanca’
I’ve noticed, though, that the Web is full of lists. Hell, I’ve even contributed a few. But like the talking heads that argue over the television airwaves, they’re there to arouse your emotions. To get you not just thinking but ready to fight. That’s certainly how I felt after reading this Web site, which seeks to attack one of the most beloved films in Hollywood history. And trust me, I’m not saying that “Casablanca” is beyond criticism. There are aspects to the film that are pure corn. But the strengths of “Casablanca” balance them out. Those strengths include, of course, the beauty of Ingrid Bergman, the gloriously hammy acting of Claude Raines, some of the great lines of dialogue in cinema history and, most of all, the moody presence of the classic antihero, Humphrey Bogart’s broken-hearted club owner Rick Blaine/Dan Webster, Movies & More.
