Well said ....

It's a profoundly romantic film and, understandably, seems meaningless to many in this age of instant gratification. (That's not a cheap shot at anyone who just doesn't like it, but one possible explanation.)

Also, for me, the loveliness of Ingrid Bergman is a major factor, as was Audrey Hepburn's in her earlier films.

Bogart's stilted version of masculinity is, I think, more amusing than anything else. And, yet, we believe that he loved.

The OP is right about suspending disbelief. If you can't, the film means nothing.

I'm still processing your point about a homoerotic subtext: a good excuse to dust off the DVD come the weekend!
