Though the script was pedantic in a few places, and sometimes it lacked direction, I still like it. It is definitely an assertion of societal values in a time when they are being strained in every direction. I am interested in seeing what these actors do next. I saw Humphrey Bogart do _The_Maltese_Falcon_ a couple of years ago, and before that, _The_Petrified_Forest_, and though he was good in each, I wearied of his "tough-guy" appeal. In _Casablanca_, he revealed some vulnerability which demonstrated versatility I didn't know he had, and that made it a good performance. Ingrid Bergman is beautiful, and she did quite well. I imagine that once the war is over, she'll have a flying career. Jim Campbell ..!{ihnp4, allegra, harvard}!ima!haddock!jimc
