Humphrey Bogart is sitting next to a half-empty whiskey bottle, sunk in despair in the after-hours dark of Rick’s Café, when he says it: “Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.” The scene gives us a shiver of pleasure despite the bitterness in Bogart’s voice, and we—my dad, a friend, my husband and I—thrill at the famous lines. Besides, we already know Rick will overcome his cynicism by the end of the movie.
