The film is captivating, the story of Rick and Ilsa filled with intrigue and mystery. There are a number of times that she jumps, gripping Henri's hand as the tension builds. Even with the raciness of their relationship, she finds her heart breaking at teh end when Rick tells her to go. The honourable thing and the proper thing, by far, but it seems so hard to her. Her wine forgotten, she feels nearly breathless when the credits begin. "Oh. How noble and how hard. I don't think I expected that."
