I just googled "Casablanca" intending to check my recollection that Casablanca is a city on the Moroccan coast.

Of course all the results (but one) are about the film or the surprising number of local businesses named Casablanca. Apparently the film is being shown in a local artsy theater tonight. Maybe I should go, I haven't seen the whole thing yet.

Yeah it’s a good story, good characters and chemistry, good writing, and the source of numerous quotes you still hear people say today. Worth watching at least once.

The number of famous quotes is really amazing -- it’s like a Shakespeare play in that respect.

Including a famous misquote

Which is that?

"Play it again, Sam".

Similar sentences are said in the movie, but not that one -- which everybody "remembers"!

Actual quotes from the movie that sound similar:

"Play it, Sam."

and

"Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake."

Which became the title of a play and a film by Woody Allen:

Don't miss the chance to see it in an actual theater.

Once of the greatest movies ever made, you won't be sorry.

I was able to get an eye exam appointment today and just got my eyes dilated so i r probably won't be going to the theater. Oh well.

Go and watch it. It's great!

By all means, that is a great film to see at the local artsy theater!

It is worth your time.
