    The most wonderful thing about this scene is the reality of it. This movie was made in 1942 and the war was still raging. Almost all the extras used in this scene are real French refugees who escaped to the US. The girl playing the minor role of the character Yvonne shown crying is the famed French Actress Madeleine LeBeau, who was forced to flee Europe to the US with her Jewish Husband. Per interviews about this scene long after the movie it was said after the song finished and the people cheered there was not a dry eye on the set.

    This scene still brings tears to my eyes. It so perfectly captures the spirit of those who stood in defiance of Fascism and tyranny. France didn't surrender; it's government did. The French people kept fighting, alongside Allied soldiers, in back alleys, on rail lines, in cafes with talkative soldiers, in fields, and on the streets. They, along with other Resistance fighters in all of the Occupied Nations, fought the invaders, until they were driven out.

      @@WilliamViets Absolute blatant lie and false. There were many resistants in France, mostly passive but also active ones. They were very few collaborators but they had the power and the german soldiers to support or lead them. Then theyre were a vast majority of French crushed by the oppression and the risk to death. You are talking about a thing that non only you have no clue about but that you based on your foreigner eyes which hasn't known this era by the inside. I am from Limousin (region of Oradour sur Glane), grand son of a basque spanish refugee... My small village in Creuse (a departement in Limousin) known the first resistant attack on rail, in july 1940 ! .. .the train of marshal Pétain was targetted, but unfortunately, the visit in Guéret took more time than expected, and the bombs exploded few minutes before the train arrived. it obliged Pétain, furious, to take a car to finish his race to Limoges for a speech. After that, Pétain ordered to install a squadron of 120 GMR (auxiliary military force) in the small village of 500 souls...
      Limousin has always been a socialist region with lots of socialists and communists.
      In Guéret, the 14th of July, there were many men who sang the marseillaise, many were arrested and some will later be arrested and deported a couple of years later without any other facts than having sang this famous 14th july 1940. can you imagine what it was to live iunder german and nazis boots ?
      Saying most french were collaborators is a crime and shame on you for making circulate those sort of dishonourablous lie.
      French like all other europeans occupied countries weren't quietly dreaming in their beds at the other side of the Atlantic. The war was a reality, visible every time, every second, not in the newspaper like most of Americans knowing about.

      I think Victor reminded Rick of who he used to be. And the more Rick interacted with Victor, the more he realized Victor is the real deal. He has a Patriot and believes in the cause he’s fighting for. Rick had forgotten how to be that person. And when Victor was willing to take a stand and didn’t care what it would’ve been for him, he definitely won ricks respect.

  • @gill5416
    @gill5416 Před 5 měsíci +43

    The raw emotional power that’s invoked just in this scene alone cannot be overstated. It becomes even more powerful when one realizes that Mr. Curtiz used real European refugees as extras in this here. All the nuances packed into a three minute scene; Rick’s aloof detachment melts away into focused action with one simple nod, the defiance of Victor, putting life and freedom on the line to show the Nazi’s that he and in fact the world, will not acquiesce to the forces of evil. One could write an entire dissertation on this scene alone. It’s no wonder this movie is credited with aiding in the slow swing of the pendulum of the American consciousness from isolationism to “No more”. Brilliant, even so 75 years later.

    The song the Germans are singing is "Die Wacht am Rhein," (Watch on the Rhine), which is about fighting off the French. Sort of an ignorant song to be singing in front of a French audience, but that was the point Major Strasser was making. It is important to note that while "La Marseillaise" is the French national anthem, its original title was "War Song of the Army of the Rhine," and the chorus which is sung particularly loudly at the end, beginning "Aux armes, citoyens!" is translated "To arms, citizens! Form your battalions! Let's march, let's march! The impure blood (of the foe) will water our fields!" A stirring call to battle not only for the French expatriate actors, but also for its American audience.

Played to pompous perfection by Conrad Veidt. The leader of the resistance Victor Laszlo, portrayed by the resolute Paul Henreid. Along with the Godfather, the two greatest films ever created. Including the two finest screenplays. A Masterpiece. Top Five in any list ever compiled on film classics.

    I've watched the film at least 100 times over the last 40 years and the La Marseillaise scene gives me goosebumps.... Every. Single. Time.
    It's Paul Henreid's finest moment in film. And he pulls it off like a boss. Starting with that look of bloodthirsty killing rage on his face as the Nazis begin to sing Watch on the Rhine. And when the crowd goes into the second verse and he's standing there stoic, yet singing his heart out with unparalleled courage... Sublime.
    As a side note, the scene was originally written as having the Nazis singing the Horst Wessel Song, which was an exclusively Nazi tune (Watch on the Rhine was a German patriotic song which dated back to the 1850s). But it turns out that the rights to the Horst Wessel Song were directly owned by the Nazi Party, which would mean that Warner Brothers would have had to pay royalties to the Nazis. So the earlier song was substituted as it was in the public domain.

    People always talk about the scene where Rick says good bye ("Here's lookin' at you, kid.") but THIS is the greatest scene in the movie, hands down!
    You can't get this sort of acting these days. This was REAL, particularly since many of the cast were ACTUAL French and Europeans who had been forced to flee from the tyranny of the Nazis before it could engulf them like so many of their countrymen (the actress who was crying had REAL tears because she was French and married to a Jewish man, forcing them to leave; the "Vive la France!" bit was THROWN IN), or had already experienced their horrors before managing to find sanctuary in America. To make it even better, this was made DURING WWII, when the fighting was still going on. It wasn't known if the U.S. and the Allies would even win and France would be free, but they still did it anyway as a big🖕to Hitler and his cronies. And it all paid off as France WAS soon freed two years later.
    Hopefully we NEVER have something like all those years ago happen again today (I'm sure many know what I'm talking about 😔) and if, God forbid, we do, patriotism and freedom will manage to re-emerge, "maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon."

    You have to wonder if the actors ever got the feeling they were making something special when they were making this film. The studio had a busy schedule, and like any other business, they were just cranking them out to meet public demand...but every now and then, they’d make film that stood the test of time. Was it serendipitous, or intentional, or was it Fate....?

    Come, children of the fatherland,
    The day of glory has arrived!
    Against us, the bloody banner
    Of tyranny has been raised!
    Do you hear, out in the fields,
    The howling of those fearsome soldiers?
    They are coming right into our midst,
    To slit the throats of our sons and comrades!
    To arms, oh citizens!
    Form up your battalions!
    March on! March on!
    May their impure blood
    Water the furrows of our fields!

      +sctpoch "May OUR* impure blood" That means even if we die with an impure blood, it will waters our fields.
