    FDR and Eleanor watched new film “Casablanca” at the White House 75 years ago tonight—in part because he was secretly planning to go there to meet Churchill:pic.twitter.com/vungy6xEwe

        This tweet gave me goosebumps. @BeschlossDC is my favorite 2017 follow. Keeps me hopeful & grounded in our prouder periods of history.

        The theme of patriotism in the face of authoritarianism in "Casablanca" continues to inspire. Truth to power never goes out of style.

        I may be the only person in history who didn't like that movie. Too depressing.

        James Agee didn't like "Casablanca" either. Thought it was too obvious about everything. His example of clunky exposition: "Oh, Victor, please don't go to the underground meeting tonight!" Re: which, OK, he had a point.
