The reviewer also references characters in the 1942 film ''Casablanca'' in praising the Mathis rendition of "As Time Goes By": "If Sam had sung it so well, Bogey would actually have uttered that famous nonline, 'Play it again.'"〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Best Days of My Life」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
