Casablanca had a very slow beginning, but once the story was set up and things started rolling, it is a great story! The classic love triangle, friendships, and the hardships of wartime all fill this classic story. There are several very excellent uses of flashbacks throughout the film such as the one which explains the Paris love story. My favorite part of the film is the use of the song "As Time Goes By" to set up the relationship between the characters of Rick Blaine and Ilsa Lund. The song becomes a theme in the movie as it is repeated several times. Overall a good film, as long as you can be patient through the beginning of it.
