Casablanca

(Michael Curtiz, US 1942, 102 min., 35mm)

The inimitable Humphrey Bogart plays Rick, the sharp and cynical owner of a nightclub in WWII-era Morocco, haunted by memories of deserted lover Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman). When their paths cross in Casablanca by some twist of fate, Rick must confront his past. The unparalleled supporting cast includes Sydney Greenstreet, Dooley Wilson, Peter Lorre, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, and Paul Henreid. If you’ve never experienced Casablanca on the big screen, you mustn’t miss this opportunity, and if you have—well . . . play it (again), Sam.
