Film Casablanca and Rudy Vallée: As Time Goes By, 1943

Rudy Vallée with Orchestra - As Time Goes By, Victor 1943

This is the later (1943) from two famous renditions of "As Time Goes By" made by Rudy Vallée. The earlier version was recorded by him and his Connecticut Yankees in 1931, when that lovely slow-fox was just one of many popular hits of the year. However ten years later, the film -love story "Casablanca" (1942) directed by Michael Curtiz with Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, and "As Time Goes By" played by Sam (Play it again, Sam...) made the song an evergreen and one of classic love themes in history of the movies.
See also a very nice version recorded in 1931 by The Columbians (Freddie Rich Orchestra) and Smith Ballew as vocalist (it happens to be the first movie ever made by me for You Tube) http://youtu.be/y37eSRoUlU8

As time goes by - remembrances remain. Wesołych Świąt w niewesołym kraju Elżbieta

[240252]

@Gadomska Elżbieto, odwazjemniam Twe życzenia i niestety, podzielam Twój smutek. Choć marsz 10go przez ulice Warszawy na trochę natchnął mnie nadzieją, to jednak zmasowana kontrofensywa kudłatego z powrotem podcięła skrzydła, na chwilę rozpostarte do lotu. Ale - ufajmy! Przed nami Nowenna Miłosierdzia Bożego i zaraz po niej dalsze wielkie znaki. Zapraszam tu jutro, szykuję bardzo piękny uploading na Wielki Piątek. Pozdrawiam!

As time goes by I admire your YT skills more and more.  Very sophisticated version of this old favorite from my favorite movie of all time. Play it again, G, any time, anywhere,

@barbcard I heard this song hundred times, nevertheless yestarday when I dragged it out and played a 101st time, it went straight into my heart. The noble and thoughtful beauty of Ingrid and that masculine peaceful sense of honor on Bogat's face really moved me. Suddenly I realized, how few faces of such kind we see nowadays around us. It's as if all the celebs of today were taking part in some devilish contest, whose face will be uglier, more insolent, more vulgar or least intelligent.

Vallée performed two superb version of this, although I have a slight preference for the 1931 one. This is a classic that stands as a rock.

Hello Grzegorz and everybody! This is a super masterful tribute to this immortal song and - probably - the most magnificent love story ever told on the silver screen. What is interesting is that according to an excellent article - nobody who participated in the making of this movie - all its major stars, the director, the screenwriter - none of them had any clue that they were created a masterpiece. They were afraid that it would be a big "flop"! What a great surprize!!!

well done video. Rudy Vallee sings it complete with the intro included. most

enjoyable.

A wonderful upload! The classic song and a splendid video celebrating the film which is considered by many to be the best romantic drama ever.

A particularly nice recording, thanx for sharing.

[camille885]

This is a fabulous song...

I didn't know that Rudy Vallée sang also during the 1940's!

Hai sempre " Chicche"!!! Ein Juwel!

Ciao!

@240252 Couldn't agree with you more. Nowadays I barely know the names of these boring, often vulgar, celebs.
