CASABLANCA by Michael Curtiz (102 min) 1942

They had a date with fate in Casablanca!

This classic romantic melodrama, set in the Vichy controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca, is a masterful tale of two men vying for the same woman’s love. Rick, played by Humphrey Bogart, must choose between his love for Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) and doing the right thing by helping her and her Resistance leader husband escape from Casablanca.

This story of political and romantic espionage is set against the backdrop of the wartime conflict between democracy and totalitarianism. The film, wrapped in a rich, smoky atmosphere and accompanied by  a superb musical score, is filled with suspense, unforgettable characters and memorable lines of dialogue.

One of the most popular, magical and flawless films of all time – focused on the themes of lost love, honor and duty, self-sacrifice and romance within a chaotic world.
