This is the first time seeing this and what a great piece of cinematic history it was, I feel bad about not seeing this till now, the plot, the acting and the cinematography is amazingly done. Humphrey Bogart has always been a amazing and outstanding actor and generally shows it with this picture. Ingrid Bergman plays the heroine in this and seems to be torn about her decisions on what to do. From start to finish the film is captivating, comedy and somewhat near tear jerking.

I watched this eight days straight last November and the rendition of La Marseillaise drowning out the Germans got me every time.
Glad you too loved it Mr.B.
