    The 1942 film Casablanca is not at all a feminist film‚ and neglects to challenge the status quo of the roles of women in cinema‚ and in society‚ at the time. All personnel who worked on the movie were male‚ as were the majority of the characters‚ save for Ilsa (portrayed by Ingrid Bergman)‚ who does little more than flutter her eyelashes. The female characters are all but silenced‚ relegated to being wives and girlfriends whilst the males hold more reputable occupational positions such as bar owner
