That movie is, IMHO, one of the major arguments against relying
exclusively on streaming. I have the DVD and have watched it probably
ten times in the last fifteen years. Every time I see something new.
It blows my mind that the people involved had no idea they were doing
something special -- to them it was just that week's product.

By the way, there's an excellent book, /Round up the Usual Suspects/,
about the making of the movie. Frex, Bergman didn't know when she
recorded her last big scene whether her character would end up with
Rick or Victor Laszlo; that's why she played it to allow either
ending.

And in case anyone doesn't know, the film is /Casablanca/. If you
haven't seen it, do so tonight. (I still remember seeing it for the
first time, on a double bill with /The Maltese Falcon/. It doesn't
get better than that.)
