Summary:
A truly perfect movie, the 1942 Casablanca still wows viewers today, and for good reason. Its
unique story of a love triangle set against terribly high stakes in the war against a monster
is sophisticated instead of outlandish, intriguing instead of garish. Humphrey Bogart plays the
allegedly apolitical club owner in unoccupied French territory that is nevertheless crawling with
Nazis; Ingrid Bergman is the lover who mysteriously deserted him in Paris; and Paul Heinreid is
her heroic, slightly bewildered husband. Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and
Conrad Veidt are among what may be the best supporting cast in the history of Hollywood films.
This is certainly among the most spirited and ennobling movies ever made. --Tom Keogh

| Movie description | World War II Morocco springs to life in Michael Curtiz's (THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, YANKEE DOODLE DANDY) classic love story. Colorful characters abound in Casablanca, a waiting room for Europeans trying to escape Hitler's war-torn Europe. Humphrey Bogart plays Richard "Rick" Blaine, a cynical but good-hearted American whose café is the gathering place for everyone from the French Police to the black market to the Nazis. When his long-lost love, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), surfaces in Casablanca with her Resistance leader husband, Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), Rick is pulled into both a love triangle and a web of political intrigue. Ilsa and Victor need to escape from Casablanca, and Rick may be the only one who can help them. The question is, will he?
Top-notch performances include Claude Rains as the chief of the French police and the major authority figure in Unoccupied France, Peter Lorre as the doomed Senor Ugarte, Sydney Greenstreet as Senor Ferrari, and Dooley Wilson as Rick's loyal friend and the café's pianist, Sam. The mesmerizing musical score, by Max Steiner, along with the well-structured plot, flawless acting, and unforgettable dialogue makes this one of the best films of all time.

| | Notes | CASABLANCA was an original selection to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1989.
"As Time Goes By," the song that became this film's anthem, not to mention theme song, was originally written for the Broadway musical EVERYBODY'S WELCOME, which opened on October 13, 1931 and ran for 139 performances. The composer, Herman Hupfeld, was also known for the song "When Yuba Plays the Rumba on the Tuba."
The film's producer, Hal B. Wallis, was awarded the Academy's Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1943.
In his 1995 memoir MY AMERICAN JOURNEY, General Colin Powell lists CASABLANCA as one of his favorite films.
Additional credits: Hugh MacMullan (dialogue director), Robert Aisner (technical adviser).

"...One of the most perfect Hollywood movies ever made..."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (08/08/2003)
