Still and all, I thought the performances were quite good.  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.
