As Time Goes By- Casablanca Movie Song Sung By Sinatra
Originally written in 1931 by Herman Hupfeld for a Broadway musical , the song became an all-time favorite when it was sung By Dooley Wilson in Casablanca, the the memorable 1942 movie starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. The melody was used as part of the underscore during critical scenes between the two former lovers.
Although the song itself is not especially notable on its own, it has achieved legendary status because it so intimately connected with a movie many millions claim as their favorite movie of all time. Because of its connection with the movie, it was voted # 2 song of the 20th century. Oddly enough, Over The Rainbow, from The Wizard of Oz was voted the best song of the 2th century. It is a more substantial song than the Casablanca favorite and it also is so inextricably intertwined with people's memory of that iconic film that hearing it inevitably triggers memories of that favorite movie.
This version is sung by Frank Sinatra against a backdrop of scenes from the movie.
Sinatra sings with a tender restraint that perfectly matches the scenes with the two lovers recalling happier moments in their lives.
