Despite the late (same day!) announcement of this week’s feature, a small group of MovieNighters showed up to be once more enthralled by Casablanca. Just a few days before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences convene in their annual, self-congratulatory celebration of cinematic mediocrity [sorry… but it’s usually true], it bears remembering that Casablanca won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Writing at the 1944 awards. Ah… the good old days. Actually, one of our guests confessed that she had never seen Casablanca before…  yes, there are still some out there!  As for the rest of us, many experiencing a viewing numbering in the region of two figures, Casablanca remains a fresh and surprising combination of ingredients, blended together to make a delicious concoction. Sort of like a Treasure Trail.

Hopefully the USPS will deliver next week’s feature really, really soon.
