Yes, he is! I love this movie, and it's a classic with great reason. Humphrey Bogart played Rick, the owner of a nightclub in Casablanca, with a stolid cool that romanticized his character. He appears unworried and unemotional, and then Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) walks into his club, and these not-too-complex character has sentiments and love and tears and frowns... "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." From there, the plot unfolded to release more than a love story, more like a story of dignity. Rick's dignity stayed with him, as he said his last, "Here's looking at you, kid" to Ilsa and let her go with Lazslow instead of stay with him. It was a great ending, with Rick and Renault starting "the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

I can't remember Casablanca, but if you like Humphrey Bogart, check out a nice little flick with Katherine Hepburn called The African Queen.
