Propaganda

Captain Louis Renault (Casablanca) - The best and most iconic character of the entire film, if not the entire movie genre. He is what makes this movie possible and I honestly couldn't imagine it without him. Claude's back must've hurt from absolutely carrying this film and according to records, he finished his filming for Now, Voyager and literally the next day, jumped right into shooting for Casablanca. That's dedication right there. I adore Renault, his stupid mustache, and he has more rizz in that right eyebrow than more people do in their entire bodies. I wouldn't need convincing in order to get an exit visa from him. He oozes charm and has the perfect velvety voice in order to carry out his orders (when he feels like it!) and plays both sides to perfection. I desire him carnally (can I put that here?) and he's such a special character and he's what brought me into the wonderful world of old movies. To me, he'll always be the true King of the Claudes!

Dr. Jack Griffin (The Invisible Man) - He may be an invisible loser but he's MY invisible loser! He's my favorite Universal Monster and just a whole lotta growling energy packed into a small package. I love his laugh and his soft moments when he's with Flora. It really brings a sense of humanity to a "monster" and those thirty seconds he's "visible" gave me a "Oh, no! He's hot!" reaction. His monologues pop off and he can do so much with his voice, going from 0 to 100 in a millisecond. Not to mention, I think he has the highest kill count for a Universal Monster, which is surprising. I guess only an invisible English dude with a vendetta is more powerful than Dracula, haha!

This is round one for The King of The Claudes tournament and other matchups can be found here!

Additional Propaganda under the cut!

Captain Louis Renault

I love him. He is a liar, a manipulator, and corrupt beyond the telling. He also has a soft spot a mile wide and a snarkiness that has genuinely become commonly used. He is a wonderful little rat-man and I. Love. Him.

Dr. Jack Griffin

I like my men how I like my science experiments - crazy. He's an unhinged little freak with a huge ego and a penchant for stripping and terrorizing small English villages. He's a delight to watch and I'm so happy he kicked off his movie career with such a banger and without this role, I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't remember what a great actor he was.
