The 1980 Charles Bronson/J. Lee Thompson remake Caboblanco is coming to blu. ILX only mentions it once, and only then because of a copy/paste of Jerry Goldsmith's IMDb resume. Anyone seen it? Bad, or hilari-bad?

Orson Welles loved it -- sort of!

It's a good film and all, but Casablanca wouldn't even make my Top 100 for B&W movies.

Funnily enough, I watched it on Monday for the first time in years. Not my favorite Bergman performance. I was struck this time by the ease with which Curtiz shoots the scene b/w Ilsa and Sam: it's rare to see a period film in which a beloved white woman talks casually to a black man. Also, Rick includes Sam in the champagne toast, even pours him a glass.

A couple of Curtiz films around '50 are similarly generous to characters played by the Afro-Puerto Rican actor Juano Hernandez: The Breaking Point and Young Man with a Horn.

Claude Rains's last-minute transformation from opportunistic jerk to hero is such a classic bit of old-school acting and charisma
