"You Must Remember This............................"

                          Girls isn't this shot of Ingrid Bergman, from "Casablanca" incredible?  I think it is her most photogenic image, and she was a beauty, as well as one hell of an actress.

                            Many pick "Casablanca" as their favorite movie.  I can see why, but, for me, of course, I was riled it beat out "The Song Of Bernadette" for Best Picture.  Ingrid Bergman was nominated for her performance as Maria in "For Whom The Bell Tolls."  She lost out to Jennifer Jones, no surprise there.  But as "Casablanca" piled up awards, Bergman mused, "Maybe I was nominated for the wrong movie!"

                              The film would not be iconic without the classic song "As Time Goes By."  That song brings tears to my eyes.  I sing it to myself, and I just remembered today that my father used to sing this song a lot.  He could carry a tune, but he wasn't Garland, like me, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                So, I know when I next see "Casablanca" I will sob profusely, as it will remind me of my father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    As I have said, girls, grief gets you in ways never known!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
