  If I remember Casablanca right she doesn’t actually knowingly cheat on her husband at any point. The woman has a relationship with Rick when she believes her husband to be dead before the events of the movie that we hear about 2nd hand. Then in the movie Rick helps her and her husband escape Casablanca.

    There is a scene with implied sex, when Ilsa goes back to try and convince Rick to give her the letters of transit.

      Can’t remember that but I need to re-watch it since the whole film is pretty fuzzy in my mind

        It’s heavy innuendo but yeah, they did the deed. Ilsa asks Rick to choose for her because loves them both. He sets it up like he is running away with her but then does the ol’switcheroo and sends her and Laszlo off while he holds the Nazis at gunpoint. He ends up shooting Nazis and Capt. Renault covers for him.

    I guess there were no way for her to know her husband was alive or not, a real Schrödinger’s spouse situation.
    And just to hammer it home that infidelity is wrong, I’m surprised the studio didn’t go with an ending where Bogart got hit by that German and covered up that he was bleeding with that big trench coat, only to collapse after the plane had taken off. But I guess since it was a war movie it was bad for morale to have the “good guy” die.
