Review of Casablanca

I find it a mystery why this is such a good movie. Everything falls in place. There is no one thing, but a series of factors that all add up. And they add up just right. When I first saw this when I was much younger, I thought what a good movie. It still is. Although, the flashback scenes of Humphrey smiling in the car are less than stellar. When this was filmed, there were no expectations. It was expected to be just another movie. Not the classic it later became. But somehow it managed to hit the winning lottery. It is not the all time best movie ever made, but I'll never get tired to watching it.
