  • Remember back in the '40's? Equality didn't exist for women: Men were to be masterful, reasoning, taking charge because women were passive, emotional creatures who could only "understand some day." Rick doesn't give Ilsa any freedom, does he? But Viktor's sensitive to it: he didn't push her to escape or to tell him what happened in Paris, understands only too well what's happened. Finally he only asks, sadly, "Are you ready, Ilsa?" He's a man who encourages freedom for her even when it hurts.

  • In so many ways, Victor Lazlo is so much more a man, than Richard Blane. He was strong, and steadfast in his cause, polite and ready to reach out his hand and catch a falling soul. Richard of course is to stir Ilsa Lund's love life, but not until the end of the film, does he prove so chivalry. My admiration for victor is much more than my admiration for Rick for these reasons.

  • Interesting after thought from my first post: why the FOCUS on Ilsa? Personally a good choice, and yes, among the reason Ingrid Bergman is just a really hot woman!

    Might it be her character caught in such cross-fires, and her emotions revealed so well? Nice decision on that if anyone caught it.

  • Power song for a power movie with an intense backdrop; and, that of course is World War II. If Blaine and Ilsa had not the history in LaBelle Aurore Paris, France, then no doubt the piano scene with Sam would not have had as much impact!

    But it IS Victor Laszlo's character that gives this song from Starsailor (of course was not around in 1942, Duh!) interesting spice.

    Editing of this movie needs more work to fit-in tighter for the selected song.

  • Thank you for this. :) I love the relationship between Victor and Ilsa--I think that it's too often neglected. Victor is a man with so many layers... but his tenderness towards her is so steady.  I probably spend way too much time wondering if they survived the war and were able to just enjoy being together, instead of having to make survival a 24/7 preoccupation. :) nice video.

  • This song is not from casablanca, it is from the band: Starsailor.
