h3. Casablanca
from imdb: In this scene many of the extras had real tears in their eyes; a large number of them were actual refugees from Nazi persecution in Germany and elsewhere in Europe and were overcome by the emotions the scene brought out.
It tears me up as well, for I understand patriotism:

I clicked on the lower part of the thread, and it played,
*Annette Funicello & Frankie Avalon - Because You're You*
It was so sweet, how nice of you to share it , RM68,
Annette- RIP

Actually, yes. I didn't realize it until I played it; it's sort of bonus. It seemed like somebody was going for a reenactment of a breakup. There was always something about those pouty lips and cold stare of that classic doll.
I wrote a short story about dolls and revenge a few years ago,,,

h4. The Catholic Legion of Decency
Could you imagine the Headlines...
h3. Father Flanagan of Boys Town Caught in Divorce scandal!
Hollywood would rock. Not because of a Tracy divorce, but because the The Legion of Decency would make it darn near impossible for the press not to eat it up. Tracy had a persona reputation to maintain. How much damage the Legion of Decency and other groups could do to a Catholic guy from Milwaukee WI is hard to judge now, but I suspect the group would do everything in it's power to see that Spence didn't have a decent part in the movies again. Tracy would be box office poison to any studio wanting to have a successful production. .
Kate and Spence actually created a relationship that appears to satisfy them both, for the most part. I am not going to second-guess now that the participants are gone.
BTW- The song Amanda from *Adam's Rib* does cause quite a reaction... on screen ;-)
Edited by: casablancalover2 on Apr 8, 2013 3:11 PM -- because I thought of a better headline to the scandal.

h4. Casablanca
(1942)
I always like that remark for it does two things in the film. It establishes Rick's true reaction to seeing Ilsa, and it is done indirectly and perfectly. There is also a tell about the screenplay itself; Ilsa and Rick have one of the most amazing coincidental reunions in film history. We accept this rather melodramatic contrivance, and quite possibly the Epstein bros may have been also remarking on that.
h5. Where did I put that Casablanca thread?

Could their story be illustrative like this one?

>Sepiatone wrote: That's probably where the latent fondness for that tune comes from. That, or one of those old, cheap cigarrette pack sized transistor radios. Remember them?
I date a fellow in Naples who's retired from NASA. The Gemini program was starting up when he came in from the USAF, and he has one of the those little radios in bright turquoise. He said it reminded him of the early days and how those little transistors helped in the space race. He likes *A Summer Place* (the movie and the song) and he still calls the place Cape Kennedy.

>Edward Rochester: *Jane, I want you to use your fancy, Suppose yourself a boy, a thoughtless and impetuous boy, indulged from childhood upwards. Imagine yourself in some remote, foreign land. Conceive that you there commit a capital error. One that cuts you off from the possibility of all human joys. In your despair you wander about, vainly seeking contentment and empty pleasure. Then, suddenly fate offers you a chance for regeneration and true happiness. Are you justified in in over-leaping the obstacles of mere custom.. are you justified? Tell me, Jane, are you justified?*

>Jane Eyre: *How can I answer, sir. Every conscience must come to its own decision.*

>Rochester: *But it can't come to a decision. If you are afraid that you may bring shame to the thing you most cherish, or destroy what you most desire to protect? Oh Jane, don't you curse me for plaguing you like this?*
>
>Jane Eyre: *Curse you? no sir.,.*

>Rochester: *Give me your assurance on that..* (takes her hand) *cold fingers... They were warmer last night. Jane, would you watch with me again?*

>Jane Eyre: *Whenever I can be useful.*

>Rochester: *For instance, the night before I marry, would you sit with me then?*

>Jane Eyre: *Are you going to be married sir?*

>Rochester: *Sometime... why not?* (distant voices off camera) *I suppose you think no one will have me.. well you're wrong. You don't know these young ladies of fashion. They may not admire my person, but I assure you--they dote on my purse.*

That reminds me of the native Floridian who didn't know what a turn signal was; He thought when he bump it, the ping - ping - ping was a warning that he, "Done broke it."
Or, the Senior Citizen in Florida who keeps rolling down the wrong way on a one way street, and says it's not a problem, for the other drivers can certainly see her coming...

HA, Sepiatone!
>And I wouldn't really consider Teladega Nights as being "art".
But then, if you aren't from NASCAR-land, it does seem foreign.

She was one of my heroes, starting a new career in screenwriting decades behind others, and finding a unique voice in storytelling. She deserved the honors presented in her career.
RIP. I will thank you again each time I watch one of these beautiful stories awaken on the screen.
