I am still in love with Claude Rains.

He's definitely one of my favourite actors. And so versatile. I think my favourite movie with him is probably Notorious (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038787/), though I'm more fond of Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in that film.

to see Casablanca for the first time in the middle of World War II; how it felt in 1942 to hear "La Marseillaise" drown out "Die Wacht am Rhein."

Have you listened to Roger Ebert's commentary? Apparently a lot of the extras participating in that scene were actually European immigrants who'd fled the Nazis. A lot of the tears in that scene are quite real.
