The greatest scene from the greatest movie
“I am shocked, shocked, to find that gambling is going on in there.”
This scene from Casablanca makes me want to stand up and cheer every time I watch it . . . and I have watched it a lot. I especially love the tears in the eyes of the German officer’s “girlfriend” as she defiantly joins in. It is also worth noting that almost all the extras in the movie were themselves actual refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe. It had become very hard to get a visa. Today the scene seems particularly apt, a rousing call to stand up.
I hope you enjoy it.
