Casablanca

My favorite film. I did a commentary for this a couple of years ago that was good but sounded lousy and was in three parts. With everybody downloading big podcasts over broadband, it might as well be in one file, so I've rerecorded it. I describe the historical context as well as the themes and how the plot points are foreshadowed and resolved. I explain the "General DeGaulle/Weygand" mix-up and how the characters relate to the larger picture of Europe in the midst of World War 2, particularly how characters are introduced early and kept alive in the background until they become important.
