And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I saw Casablanca on a big screen the month before last, it's always a good watch. They started filming it in April1942, 5 months into the war (things were not going well for the US at the time). At the screening someone mentioned the propaganda but ignored what their world was like when the movie was made.
I watched "To Have and Have Not" last night on a small screen, they finished it in May 1944. The war was going better but it had been going for awhile... I don't think I'd ever seen it before, it was good! I liked Humphry Bogart better in this one. There were some lines from Lauren Becall that I heard before in Rio Bravo but it was Angie Dickenson saying them in Rio Bravo. Seems "Rio Bravo" &"To Have and Have Not" had the same director.
The Internet Archive has pretty much all of Bogart's movies for free, and many of them restored and in pretty high definition. Do a search on Humphrey Bogart.
Play it again, Sam.
ReplyDeleteHere's lookin' at ya kid.
.............. What else?
Most misquoted line in movie history. It's: "Play it, Sam. Play 'as time goes bye'. "
Delete"SAM ---I thought I told you to NEVER play that-------"

My all-time favorite movie.
ReplyDelete"They were in Sam's piano." Renault replies to Rick, "It serves me right for not being musical."
ReplyDeleteKey Largo, if you want to see Robinson and Bogart try to out-act each other. Not hamming it up, just flat out good solid acting.

ReplyDeleteYes, she was, absolutely.
ReplyDeleteI've seen it on the big screen several times. Double feature with The Maltese Falcon was a great "first date" time.
