I've seen Casablanca more times than A Beautiful Mind, and I worked on that movie.

My first viewings were indeed from the balcony of the Brattle Theatre, where one could get books of ten tickets cheap as a grad student. My last viewing was just before the pandemic, in the Stanford Theatre.

I vowed to let go of all inhibitions, and let the movie guide my emotions. That's how Casablanca deserves to be seen.
