What say is so ridiculous because it's true that the American propaganda has always been " very francophile " and the French in their history have proved that they are brave people .
Just for the record: The song the Germans are singing, called "Die Wacht am Rhein" (meaning The guard at the rhine) is a song from the time after napoleon and it says basicly that if Germany stands united, France will no longer be able to occupy parts of it as they used to the last 200 years. It has nothing to do with nazis, although they used it for their propaganda.
A very powerful scene! Quite a few writer corroborated on the Casa Blanca script and the name of the gentleman who wrote this scene escapes me at the moment. As the story goes, on seeing the complete film, the writer of this scene also got teary eyed. It's perfectly written, filmed and edited. Ingrid Bergman is beautiful! So is Madeleine Lebeau! This is film making at its finest. I never tire of watching Casa Blanca....

Diese weinende Blodine da...die ist genau wie Frankreich! Erst das Maul groß aufreißen und dann gibts was vom Linksrheinischen Nachbarn (auf Deutsch gesagt) auf die Fresse, am Ende ist dann das Gehäule groß.
What did la marseillaise for the african people in 20th century? What did la marseillaise for Vietnam in the 50ies?? Democracy??? Where??? En Algerie in the 60ies???
@RoemischKatholisch ok, it's official...you are a knucklhead.and don't know history..at the time, Casablanca was part of FRENCH morocco....they are on FRENCH soil....
Now for the english and french: France ever wanted the Rhein as frontier to Germany, but there is not one frenchmen left of the rhine. Take a look on Louis XIV wars on Germany in 17th century and Napoléon! In 1840 the french parlament postulated the Rhein-frontier again. In this situation my people created the "Wacht am Rhein" and the "Deutschlandlied", our national anthem. Both themes are hymnes of self-defending. God bless our holy Deutschland!
@DACalvinify The song is called "Die Wacht am Rhein". The merchant Max Schneckenburger wrote a 5 stanza poem, about German territories in France. (1800 AD ). First German translation: Es braust ein Ruf wie Donnerhall,
wie Schwertgeklirr und Wogenprall:
Zum Rhein, zum Rhein, zum deutschen Rhein,
wer will des Stromes Hüter sein? A call roars like thunderbolt,
Vive la democracie? Pour les Africains in 1940´s? Pour les Vietnamesiens? The "Wacht am Rhein" is a self-defending-song against france which ever postulated the Rhine as frontier to Germany. But there is no frenchman left of the Rhine. Ingrid Bergman filmed in Berlin in 1938, did you know that? In WW1 on the western front, 50 % blacks and indian died. That´s french and english democracy!
@RoemischKatholisch Hi. Perhaps you missed the message of this scene; where expatriots of the former French empire find themselves in Nazi land in Northern Africa at the time..1940's. Africans,Vietnamese&other races deemed unsuitable for existence by the Nazi purity code would have perished as well as Jewish folks.Ask the Vietnamese under Japanese occupation how good their lives were?OrGuam?OrKorea?Or The Philippines? In your rant against anything Western-don't wave the Nazi flag too much. Peace
I get chills when I see this video (I have the movie). It's such a shame that Americans are moved to tears when they see the underdog overcome the tyrants when the tyrants are not American but they are completely oblivious to atrocities their own country has committed since WW2. The US is an empire and some day its victims will since THEIR anthemn of freedom over the Star-Spangled Banner! I just hope there won't be any blood shed...
@dsarrafi Get a life you asshole. Being a troll should be a part time hobby, not a full time occupation. As for your comments....yawn. You're putting people asleep with your ignorant ranting. No offense. Peace.
@dsarrafi you must be dreaming.France and the United States are 2 great countries and are always on the same side.France helped free the usa from british rule and the americans freed france from german rule.As far as i know France and the U.S. have never declared war on each other ever.The usa is a very liberal and giving country as is france maybe you should not judge the usa or france either.
@worseto1 I don't think you understood what I was saying. I was merely pointing out the irony of the citizens of the "greatest purveyor of violence in the world" (MLK's words not mine) shedding crocodile tears for this clip while their own empire has caused more pain and grief in the world since WW2. A most recent example is the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed in a war started (by this empire) based on blatant lies. It is so much easier to see someone else's atrocious Nazi mentality!
Their german pronunciation is terrible, just gonna throw that out there. Geez Hollywood, I would believe you if the characters actually spoke their "own language" well...
THE FREE in the face of tyranny is one of the high points of human history and heroism. ... a lone student standing in the path of an oncoming tank is another image worthy of this.
last i knew the chick at 1:10 is the last one still alive from the movie casablanca. such a shame but thats life. great movie one of the best and such a great scene. no more war.... french germans americans brits all allied now... gotta love that.
This wasn't film making, this was history...as it happened. This wasn't acting. The emotion you see on the faces of the actors is real. 1942 was half way through WW2 (unless you're American of course) and could have gone either way. Vive la cinema! Vive la liberte!
@23071957jazzman As it was reported on TMC recently, many of the extras in the scene were refugees and ex-patriots from Europe who escaped the nazis regime with their lives. The tears are real.
@joeybronz. You need to see Patton with Geo. C. Scott. I too like cute French girls in Chanel singing Rouget de Lisle's little ditty. But I like dead Nazis even more.
The best scene in the film? I must demur - I think it's the greatest scene in cinema, period. There is something so incredibly stirring about this, the Nazi/French juxtaposition, the faces as they sing (Yvonne's tears!), the subtle drowning of the German officers' voices, that by the time they sing "Aux arms, citoyens" I am ready to go join the French Foreign Legion. Amazing film, amazing writing, amazing acting, amazing scene.
@njplr They didn't need more people in the Legion.
They needed the peoples of the free democracies to declare war in the name of justice, when Hitler invaded the Sudetenland. Or Czechoslovakia. We of the British Commonwealth at least finally went to Polands aid, and fought for what we all knew was freedom, though we were not ourselves attacked. Wasn't a good business move though, so some waited and charged for their aid. And brought the world for the next century, with others freedom.
When attacking a nation, One must give thought that that nation will defend as hard as you attacked. Britain, America, Russia, India and many more combined overwhelmed Nazi Germany. Hitler did not give thought that many nations would fight in the fight of protecting there allies.
I'm not French, I've never given any thought to the French, and I still think without question this is the greatest, most emotional scene in movie making history.
Thank god these things were shot with film which offer very high resolutions via the original material. People a 100 years from now couldn't make 8k movies out of 1080p.
Hollywood can make as many action movies with superhuman soldiers shooting zillions of Nazis left and right as it wants...... but never in the history of cinema were the Nazis as completely and masterfully defeated as they were in this scene.
@mrchuckmorris No, La Marseillaise takes it:s own credit for being the best National anthem, so of course they were going to be defeated. What a dirty trick to place on the Nazis.
One of the most stirring moments in this epic film. Clear distinction between good and evil. This reminds us that evil will succeed unless forceably confronted, in one way or the other, by good, after all isn't it said that all it takes fro evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing? Here Victor Laslo is confronting evil and knows what to do and does it, but the hidden thing here is it wouldn't have happened unless Rick gave the OK. I know its just a movie, but What a movie!
Reading the below comments, and from what I read in the news over the last couple years, Merkel is one of the few who actually leaned towards the laissez faire approach to recovery and hell, Germany is sustaining Europe it seems. Overwhelming pressure from my president and others to piss away money like they were. Lets all go down! Germany is lucky and if I were them I would want out of the EU. The EU is using you.
No, Merkel is not "ruling" Europe in any way. I, as a german don`t like her (and have not voted for her) but asuming that there is some "evil masterplan" or comparing her to Hitler is just stupid. She is just afraid of what will happen with german economy if the Euro goes down the drain. Maybe she does force her ideas of how economy should work onto others but that hardly makes her "evil" in any way even remotely bordering that of a certain failed artist with one testicle...
@APlayOfHopesAndFears you are right. if the euro goes down the drain we are all fucked, even us lot accross the channel. its the fault of not just the bankers but those fuckwit career polititians like Barroso who cooked up the gran plan of a european super state. we dont even have a common langauge for fucks sake.
@APlayOfHopesAndFears and they want to let Turkey and its 85,000,000 in, and u know where the majority of them will settle? the quicker europe gets back to having their individual currancies again the quicker we can get back to cheaper package holidays in Greece harra!
@nobskinoff Exactly my thoughts! But after all those years it would be an incredible painfull process and most politicians are just to half assed to see it trough. So I guess they will just wait and waste even more money until all comes crashing down by itself. So they won`t have to take the blame :-(
@APlayOfHopesAndFears there are enough savvy people around who wont let them forget the calamitous fuck up they got us all into. More fool them for not giving the assorted populations a referendum, to democratly decide if they wanted to have a common currency and be part of a greater federal superstate. Even a blind halfwitted imbacile could have forseen the dangers. we will end up hanging them along with the bankers.
@APlayOfHopesAndFears Before we hang them....The top tip for 2012 is...fill the garden shed with packet chinese noodles and get a fishing rod and perhaps a small calibre rifle and a few boxes of bullets!
France should investigate its own "dirty and bloody history instead of other nations France was responsible for the deaths of 45,000 people in Algeria in 1945 and for the massacre of up to 800,000 people in Rwanda in 1994.PLEASE CHECK WIKIPEDIA
Singing La Marsaillese on Moroccan Soil? A great scene would include a Moroccan who enters the venue shoot al the Germans and French spits on Bogard , kicks Bergman in the face and sings the Moroccan National anthem while he is pein on the bodies of the European occupiers
The funny thing is that those German ought to be scared as hell, if anyone has ever bothered reading the lyrics to La Marseillaise, its actually pretty violent and graphic....
@meltdownup Many countries didn't have much of a chance. Had Britain not been an island they would have been forced to do the same.... or lose very very fast.
@99hesoe Very true. Had Nazi Germany been attached to the US east coast they would have pushed past the Mississippi, just like they did to the Soviet Union. France and Poland simply ran out of real estate.
@Badrinho Hitler did justice ? What about the jews ? No one is innocent. No one is in position to give justice. Hitler took his revenge, and thousands of people died because of his sick mind.
@Derdoppelgaenger he did justice to the French and British...who where occuping the half of the world them selfs....Hitker whas a bastard and evil man....but the ones who where occuping Africa where evil men to and they also deserved to die........In Casablanca it is not a proud thing to sing La Marsaillaise....Because the French where occuping Morocco and The French in Morocco deserved to be killed
@Badrinho As I said, no one is in position to judge. In that case, everyone deserves to die.
Besides, this is the bar where all the refugees go to try to escape to America, as you can see, there are only French people in the bar in that scene. They didn't "decide" to be to Casablanca. They are trying to impress the Nazis, do you really expect them to sing another hymn than their own ? I'm not saying the French were innocent, but that scene doesn't shock me in any way, in that context.
Same went for Japan for decades after the Korean war. Thanks to American aid due to the Cold War, both axis majors have managed to achieve in peace what they failed to do through war. Es lebe Amerika u. U.d.S.S.R
@MrGilles1990 Of course, the very existence of the European Union is the undisputable proof of Germany's "rule" over Europe. Okaaay... (Sarcasm). Oh, by the way, I live in Europe, so you could say I've kinda been there.
@nonh1 Frau Merkel has placed two puppet governments in two countries in a scape of weeks, is that not proof enough? But I guess there's none so blind as those who will not see.
@MrGilles1990 If you're talking about Ireland, you have no idea of what a puppet regime really is like. I'm not talking about capital flight, I'm talking about another country's army killing people and raping women with impunity in your own country. That's what having a single super power ruling a whole continent is like. I come from Latinamerica, and we do know a lot from puppet governements first hand.
Believe me Angela Merkel sits at the head of the decision making table in Brussels do you think the Germans are giving financial aid to Bankrupt European countries without making demands on how the money gets paid back and how the countries that owe them have to change the economic structure of said countries?Thats a fact and it trickles down to how many pieces of chalk a teacher can have in a classroom,its pure Economic Dominance plain and simple.
Wow, this is really a very astonishing moment in the film history. To think that they made a film like this when the war was still going on and nobody knew in what kind of a world would people be living after it. Remarkable!
I get goosebumps every time I hear "allons enfant de le patrie". La Marseillaise is the most beautiful anthem and this is one of the greatest scenes in film history!
(France, your people are welcome to embrace America anytime you feel like coming back. Hope we don't have to bail you out again the way we did during WWII.
Viva La France! Viva La Freedom! Viva an excellent film.
According to a BBC Radio 4 documentary on the making of the film, the Americans thought they were making a standard Hollywood factory film. It wasn't until they filmed this scene and noticed at the end that all the french participants were in tears did they get an idea of what they were creating.
@TirChonaill1 ah, I wouldn't buy into that imnsho....December 1941 when the US was attacked by Japan leant much realism. Plus, many Americans were already reading about the war in Europe. And this film came out in 1942. It wasn't a factory film....the war in europe was already in hand imnsho.
Well the BBC documentary had one of the scriptwriters on microphone saying that it was just a regular Hollywood film churned out in the normal way without anyone intending to make a classic - and that they only realised after this Marseillaise scene that maybe there was something special about this film after all. What does 'imnsho' mean?
Note the young woman singing "La Marseille" on the verge on brusting into tears. What could one expect as Germany occupied France 'til 1994. Vive Le France !
Lieb' Vaterland, magst ruhig sein, lieb' Vaterland, magst ruhig sein, Fest steht und treu die Wacht, die Wacht am Rhein! Fest steht und treu die Wacht, die Wacht am Rhein!
Allons enfants de la patrie, Le jour de gloire est arrivé ! Contre nous de la tyrannie L'étendard sanglant est levé ! (bis) Entendez-vous dans les campagnes, Mugir ces féroces soldats ? Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes ! Refrain Aux armes, citoyens ! Formez vos bataillons ! Marchons ! Marchons ! Qu'un sang impur Abreuve nos sillons !
Several of the actors playing minor parts in this film (such as S.Z. Sakal, who plays the bartender) were major celebrities in German/European cinema before being forced to flee Europe because they were Jewish. Europe's loss was Hollywood's gain.
I love this movie watch it every time its on TCM. This is one of the most stirring parts of all the movies Ive seen. The look on Ingrid Bergmans face, one of pride for her man is priceless. When this movie was made this scene had so much more importance due to the world situation, most young movie goers today couldnt fully appreciate this. Thanks for posting this for posterity.

Reading the below comments, and from what I read in the news over the last couple years, Merkel is one of the few who actually leaned towards the laissez faire approach to recovery and hell, Germany is sustaining Europe it seems. Overwhelming pressure from my president and others to piss away money like they were. Lets all go down! Germany is lucky and if I were them I would want out of the EU. The EU is using you.

No, Merkel is not "ruling" Europe in any way. I, as a german don`t like her (and have not voted for her) but asuming that there is some "evil masterplan" or comparing her to Hitler is just stupid. She is just afraid of what will happen with german economy if the Euro goes down the drain. Maybe she does force her ideas of how economy should work onto others but that hardly makes her "evil" in any way even remotely bordering that of a certain failed artist with one testicle...

@APlayOfHopesAndFears you are right. if the euro goes down the drain we are all fucked, even us lot accross the channel. its the fault of not just the bankers but those fuckwit career polititians like Barroso who cooked up the gran plan of a european super state. we dont even have a common langauge for fucks sake.

@nobskinoff Exactly my thoughts! But after all those years it would be an incredible painfull process and most politicians are just to half assed to see it trough. So I guess they will just wait and waste even more money until all comes crashing down by itself. So they won`t have to take the blame :-(

@APlayOfHopesAndFears there are enough savvy people around who wont let them forget the calamitous fuck up they got us all into. More fool them for not giving the assorted populations a referendum, to democratly decide if they wanted to have a common currency and be part of a greater federal superstate. Even a blind halfwitted imbacile could have forseen the dangers. we will end up hanging them along with the bankers.

@Badrinho As I said, no one is in position to judge. In that case, everyone deserves to die.
Besides, this is the bar where all the refugees go to try to escape to America, as you can see, there are only French people in the bar in that scene. They didn't "decide" to be to Casablanca. They are trying to impress the Nazis, do you really expect them to sing another hymn than their own ? I'm not saying the French were innocent, but that scene doesn't shock me in any way, in that context.

According to a BBC Radio 4 documentary on the making of the film, the Americans thought they were making a standard Hollywood factory film. It wasn't until they filmed this scene and noticed at the end that all the french participants were in tears did they get an idea of what they were creating.

@TirChonaill1 ah, I wouldn't buy into that imnsho....December 1941 when the US was attacked by Japan leant much realism. Plus, many Americans were already reading about the war in Europe. And this film came out in 1942. It wasn't a factory film....the war in europe was already in hand imnsho.

Well the BBC documentary had one of the scriptwriters on microphone saying that it was just a regular Hollywood film churned out in the normal way without anyone intending to make a classic - and that they only realised after this Marseillaise scene that maybe there was something special about this film after all. What does 'imnsho' mean?
