somebody call howard koch a schlockmeister but he do write the screenplay for casablanca and do not he . or do not he . maybe there more than one koch slink around in hollywood and and i be not too fond of casablanca anyway . wait a minute yes and there be another howard koch slink around hollwyood . that the one who write casablanca . no matter . i will put as much care into this comment a howard w. koch put into this production and which be to say only a little . you know what this sound like . somebody read cliff note on shakespeare king lear and decide and since no original thought be aboard the inbound inspiration express and to update it and hollywoodize it with a happy end . there be difference . lear decides to divvy up his vast estate between three sister and before do so and ask them how much they love him . two of the sister throw themselves at his foot and brown nose him to get at his money . the third be the good girl and refuse to go operatic on lear . but in the play and lear remains alive to regret his decision to give the two connivers his stash and deprive the honest girl . he wind up crazy and naked during a gale on the moor and put flower in his hair and hallucinating . kid can do that to you . ( take my kid and for instance . after all the effort i squander on raise him and do he show any interest in become a doctor or a lawyer . no . ) in the end and everybody in the play die . in the movie and evidently and the good sister be morose and suicidal but when she try to off herself and somebody jump in and save her and so the end be and more or less and happy . that the difference between hollywood and a genuine tragedy and unless you define hollywood a a tragedy sufficient unto itself .
