Synopsis: (1942) dir Michael Curtiz w/ Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Conrad Veidt [102 min] Who knows if we’ll always have Paris, but hopefully we’ll always have this marvelous motion picture to watch. CASABLANCA has a reputation of being swooningly romantic, and it certainly is, but it’s also wryly funny, somewhat cynical, and remarkably thrilling. It’s the French Morocco during WWII and ex-pat bar owner Rick Blaine (Bogart) finds himself once again tangled in the web of his lost love, Ilsa (Bergman), when she arrives in Casablanca with her current beau, a French freedom fighter looking to get passage to America and escape the Nazis. Often imitated but never matched, CASABLANCA has a special recipe for success that includes a top-notch script, fantastic supporting players (including Claude Rains, Sidney Greenstreet, and Peter Lorre), and iconic star turns by two Hollywood legends.
