The movie Casa Blanca was a very entertaining movie. There are many unique things embedded in the film. Most obvious are a love story and WWII in the film. The background of WWII is the most influential part in the film. All of the characters in the movie represent a country in the film involved in the war. There is also alot of symbolism along with this. For example Ricky's club, "the amercain" represented every ones hopes and dreams to escape to America. That's where everyone went to try and escape to a free country.
The technology in the film was not too bad for a black and white film. Compared to On the Waterfront, this film was put together better and was easier to follow. The transitions were good and the audio was much better. Overall for a black and white film I was very impressed with the fit and finish of the film.
Some things that I found unanswered after the movie are why Ricky couldn't go back to France or the US? Was it because of all the women that he had bad endings with? I also don't know why Ricky didn't just tell the guard his plan? I assume that he wasn't going to trust anyone until his plan was done.
The movie was overall a really good movie for its time. The ending was very unpredictable which made the movie very suspenseful.
