" Casablanca "
One of the most beloved American films, this captivating wartime adventure of romance and intrigue from director Michael Curtiz defies standard categorization. Simply put, it is the story of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart),
a world-weary ex-freedom fighter who runs a nightclub in Casablanca
during the early part of WWII. Despite pressure from the local
authorities, notably the crafty Capt. Renault (Claude Rains),
Rick's café has become a haven for refugees looking to purchase illicit
letters of transit which will allow them to escape to America. One day,
to Rick's great surprise, he is approached by the famed rebel Victor
Laszlo (Paul Henreid) and his wife, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman),
Rick's true love who deserted him when the Nazis invaded Paris. She
still wants Victor to escape to America, but now that she's renewed her
love for Rick, she wants to stay behind in Casablanca. "You must do the
thinking for both of us," she says to Rick. He does, and his plan
brings the story to its satisfyingly logical, if not entirely happy,
conclusion.

| 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.

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.
