Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca and Notorious (OTR)
I celebrate what would have been the birthday of one of the most beloved stars of the silver screen with radio performances to be enjoyed for the ages. Â It’s Ingrid Bergman day on Once Upon a Screen with special adaptations of CASABLANCA and NOTORIOUS.
“I’ve never sought success in order to get fame and money; it’s the talent and the passion that count in success.”
Lady Esther Presents The Screen Guild Players’ adaptation of “Casablanca” from April 26, 1943 starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid.
From January 26, 1948 Ingrid Bergman stars alongside Joseph Cotten in a Lux Radio Theater adaptation of “Notorious.”
“I was the shyest human ever invented, but I had a lion inside me that wouldn’t shut up.”

Â I post this gallery in tribute to the star, the man and the event with images that correspond with the Bogie films featured on the TCM schedule – with a few extras because I couldn’t resist.

Humphrey Bogart is beloved, admired and always remembered so I need not try to explain his appeal. Â But I will explain why I’m such a big fan of his work, which is his unique combination of tough edge and vulnerability. Â While he depicted some of the greatest detectives in film history and made his mark playing gangsters, Bogart’s characters always had heart and a romance I find irresistible. Â No matter the film or character, when Humphrey Bogart held a woman’s face in his hands before a kiss it was real and I fall for him every single time. Â A real man, often hardened by his past but not afraid to show a softer side. No one was like him.
“Acting is experience with something sweet behind it.”
That’s why I love the actor. Â Here’s why I love the man:
“A hotdog at the ballpark is better than a steak at the Ritz.”
