moviesAug 2, 202634626

Turner Classic Movies hosted a TCM Party screening of Casablanca as part of its Summer Under The Stars lineup, drawing real-time posts under hashtags such as #TCMParty and #SummerUnderTheStars. Contributors praised the screenplay and casting, with one post calling the script a "10" and another naming Paul Henreid among the film's standout actors. Several posts singled out the "La Marseillaise" nightclub scene and the line "This time I know our side will win" for emotional impact. Viewers noted small details and continuity points, including a marker dated 1 December 1941 and a wet-raincoat/dry-raincoat discrepancy. Other posts described strong personal reactions, from laughing at recurring jokes about unfinished drinks to crying at the film's ending. The screening prompted travel- and memory-themed posts, including a visit to Rick's Café in Morocco mentioned by one contributor.

Turned on the TV, Casablanca was on. Of course I could do nothing else but watch til it was done.

Casablanca could be about what we are living thru now. In First 15 minutes the pickpocket scene is telling.

I miss having TCM. Comcast NM doesn't have it.

#Casablanca, if you could read their thoughts:

The smirk on Louie’s face as he looks up at Victor and Rick at the top of the steps was <chef’s kiss>

I love that Bogart joins the resistance again with a simple nod to the band leader. A lesser film would have given him some clunky, preachy monologue. That one scene completely changes the tide of the narrative. Textbook filmmaking from Michael Curtiz.

Even more so because lots of the crowd in the background were real refugees from Vichy France who were actually crying during filming

Myrna Loy, BOTD in 1905. "She was so fiercely outspoken against Adolf Hitler that her name appeared on his blacklist, resulting in her films being banned in Germany." #TCMParty #Filmsky

My mother's favorite movie is MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE, so I have basically had a lifetime crush on Antifa Elder and Total Babe Myrna Loy.

How many times have I watched #Casablanca in my life? Hundreds of times. But this time I’m crying like a baby at the ending. Time to up my Zoloft prescription. #tcmparty

I saw it several times on the big screen and have to remind myself not to say the dialouge out loud.

I relate to Humphrey Bogart’s character hard. Also dig that while it’s a drama it has characteristics of a Noir too

Absolute masterpiece. Its comedy is a key reason why.

I wish I could see #Casablanca for the first time again, the ending is so surprisingly great, I'd love to not already know how it ends. #TCMParty

Yes, ohhh how glorious it would be to see it for the first time again! #Casablanca #HumphreyBogart #SUTS #TCMParty

One of the reasons I'm not as frightened of getting dementia..can see my old faves again as if for the first time 😉

After 12-15 views, there is always something new for me. Morocco in 1941 Vichy Rick's place, what a concept! Wardrobes military and non-military Corruption locals, Germans, shops Why did Rick leave the States...really? Can anyone do this again in a movie? And Ilsa Lund😆 IMDb gives it an 8.5👍🏾

I've never seen it. Is it that good?

Remember Once Upon A Time people sacrificed their needs and desires for the greater good? More people than we think do that each and every day. #Casablanca reminds us of that #TCMParty

I wonder if Elon Musk is planning to release a pro-fascist AI version of #Casablanca, an extremely woke movie

The "Marseillaise" scene gets me (and a lot of others it seems) every time. Unfortunately, it's relevancy has not lessened over the years. In fact, it is all too relevant today. #TCMParty #Casablanca

It was my intention this morning to work on a few projects for work in relative peace, with a movie on in the background. #Casablanca is not a background movie. So the work will have to wait. #TCMParty #SUTS #SummerUnderTheStars

Impossible for me not to love that #Casablanca is just quietly trending of a Sunday afternoon. #TCMParty #SUTS

My visit to #RicksCafe while in Morocco was almost ruined by a sudden attack of allergens that kept my eyes itching and nose running. #TCMParty #Casablanca

I agree! It also marks a turn in the action. Rick is no longer staying neutral. #Casablanca #HumphreyBogart #SummerUnderTheStars #TCMParty

Apologies to Edward Underdown for completely ignoring him in his robe. Bogie just sent me so much I completely lost focus. (Also I'm beginning to realize why I don't remember anything about this, it's terrible) 1/2 #TCMParty #SummerUndertheStars #BeattheDevil #classicmeninrobes
