Rick is not an isolationist; he’s a communist sympathizer. Doesn’t anybody listen to the dialogue in this movie?
He had run guns into Spain for the Republicans (i.e. communists) (from the movie). But also into Ethiopia to fight the Italians. So you decide.
BS!
Exactly. Rick was a commie. Ilsa was a putan. Capt Renault was a rapist extortionist. And when the studio wouldn’t give them any more money to shoot the airport scene at the end they had to use a 3/4 size model plane in the background and hire little people to load the baggage to make it look realistic. They also were afraid to use the Horst Wessel Song as the song the Germans sang because it might be a copyright infringement. They chose an older German song instead. It might also be my favorite movie.
Yup, Rick is a communist hero. It’s the reason I don’t watch it anymore.
