Casablanca is my all time favorite movie
I must have been in high school the first time I saw it.
In my room on Belle Plaine, I had a poster of Humphrey Bogart on one wall, and Ingrid Bergman on a door. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. And Bogey, well, he was a man's man.
I love the way the music adds to the drama, and how the shadows add to the mystery. And I like the humor, there is a surprisingly a lot of it in a WW II drama
I remember reading how they filmed the ending at the airport on a studio stage using a mock airplane and vertically challenged actors. On screen it looked like a full size plane with regular height people.
I have seen it in a real theater a couple of times and it is much better there than at home. The smaller screen does it no favors.
I was browsing through the Sunday Trib when I saw an ad for an auction house that featured posters, including advertising and movie posters. There was a picture of Bergman and Bogey, together, from Casablanca.
Last night I went on the auction site, hoping to put a bid in on what would be my favorite poster of all time.
I am not the only one who likes it.
The bid was at 25. Thousand. 25,000. Needless to say, I will not be buying that movie poster.
Put on clean jeans and after my haircut, put on a clean shirt. That didn't last long.
For the second night in a row I dropped food on my shirt and pants. Geez, I am a slob!
A big thanks to neighbor Joe who noticed my recycles had blown over and picked them up. I looked out to see him readjusting my bins and went out to finish what the wind had started.
The big move starts tomorrow....hope it goes well.
Peace and Love
