In Reply to: Am I the only one here who finds "Casablanca" boring and generally poorly made? posted by Victor Khomenko on November 07, 2002 at 08:05:57:
Satirises Casablanca and has some of Woody Allens cleverest lines
I don't think Casablanca is in any way Bogarts best film, and I find little salvageable from this era anyway, (tho' Fantasia was released in 1941, Chaplins The Great Dictator around that time) it seems like they're stage actors awkwardly not adapting to the screen, no "method acting" until James Deans era, 'tho Bogart has it all down pat
Good or bad, Rick's Cafe Americain has become an indelible part of popular culture

I'm not sure the 40's are my favorite era.But many of my favorite films of all time were made in the 30's, a true golden age IMO: Modern Times, Rules of the Game, Bride of Frankenstein, M, Swing Time and many more.
Yeah, I get bored easily though African Queen did keep my interest a while back. I don't think I've ever watch Casablanca al the way through.
