Fannish Fifty: Casablanca
Mar. 10th, 2023 04:25 pmThis was prompted by this week's
thefridayfive because the first four questions were about the Oscars, which I have no interest in. The last question was 'What is your favourite movie of all time?'
Without a doubt that has to be Casablanca. I've watched it so many times, and even though I know how it ends I still feel a sense of tension as the ending approaches. I don't know whether it appeals more because it's in black and white, but I wouldn't want it to be colorised. I like the combination of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. I think the plot is great. It really just grabs me every time.
I've even written for it: a drabble as part of Multifandom Drabble exchange: An Evening with Miss Lund and Nothing Out of the Ordinary about life in Casablanca pre-Victor Lund.
The film even turns up in Snippets from Werewolf Life
