#AutumnPlease #scarf Ingrid Bergman was just iconic in Casablanca. The scarf with the white coat is stunning. I live in Az. Love scarves but unless I travel to cooler climates in the fall or winter , no cause to wear them.I still have a collection of them though.

Eggs Beautiful 🤍🧣🖤 I have a collection too but it‘s so hot here (TX) 6mo

This is a pick mostly because I‘m a fan. The book was a bit dry and repetitive. There was nothing earth shattering or new. I watched the movie twice while reading it. I think I love it a little more. Here‘s lookin‘ at you, Casablanca. ❤️#setinHollywood #booked2020

I hate saying “bad,” but this book was. The part of it that focused on the immigrant-actors who made up much of Casablanca‘s supporting cast was interesting but not news, and the chapters about long-term critical response were a failed attempt at high-mindedness.

If you know anything about Casablanca, this book is not insightful. If you don‘t know anything about it, watch the movie (!!) and read Aljean Harmetz‘s Round Up the Usual Suspects. ⭐️⭐️

A good solid history of the origin, making of, success of, and continuing life of one of the best Hollywood movies. Isenberg is especially good when describing the lives of the European refugees who played in the film and made it's atmosphere more real. Too narrow in scope for a reader looking for history of studio-era Hollywood. But a good book for a fan of the movie.

Closing out 2016 with one of the greatest films ever...and it's about standing up to totalitarianism. How could that be appropriate? 🤔 As an added bonus, they had advance copies of this February release about it - which was written by a professor/mentor of mine! A great end to the year! Healthy New Year's to all my #favoritelittens ! May we all read more than our expectations, and may the books we read shape and change us all. #nye #newyears
