What a marvelous analysis of such a classic and important film. I've seen Casablanca 10 or 12 times but I don't think I've ever paid that much attention to the background characters. Obviously, they've affected me as the scene brings tears to my eyes every time but never really stopped to wonder why. I guess it isn't too surprising since the focus is always on its main characters. I mean, who can really look into the background when you've got Bogie, Rains, Henried, and Bergman to pay attention to. This just makes me love this movie even more.
