The Jewels of Casablanca

Jewels of Casablanca...  There could be several interpretations of that phrase: the compelling characters, the dazzling actors who played them, even the intriguing sets that make the viewer feel as though she's half a world away - in mystical, mysterious Morocco.

But in this case, we're thinking literally - thinking about Ilsa's jewelry.  Specifically the jewelry she wears in the scene when she first sees Rick again: the sparkling earrings, bracelet and fabulous brooch.

Ilsa's wearing a simple white evening ensemble.  But highlighted by her fabulous face and brilliant jewelry (the brooch is nothing short of remarkable) the look becomes irresistible and unforgettable.

We've talked before about how we love jewelry, love brooches - how they can completely transform an outfit.  Take another look at Ilsa - a picture's worth a thousand words.

This scene: the glorious Ingrid Bergman, Dooley Wilson, Humphrey Bogart, Paul Henried and Claude Rains.
