## Description

Classic war-time drama which has been mis-quoted for decades. During World War II former lovers Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) and Ilse (Ingrid Bergman) are reunited by chance in Casablanca, where he runs a nightclub and she, with her husband (Paul Henreid), is working for the French Resistance. Recriminations, rekindled desires and patriotic duty battle for primacy as Ilse's husband tries to outwit the local Nazis and escape from Morocco, whilst Rick and Ilse re-kindle their love and decide to run away together...

Review: 'Round up the Usual Suspects' - For the past 10 years or so I have made it my mission to collect and watch classic old movies. The more I watched, the more films I grew to love. And yet Casablanca was one I steered clear of for a while. I was sure I was going to get some sloppy, trite mushy love story. Boy was I wrong! Casablanca, like Citizen Kane and Gone with the Wind before it is reguarded as one of the greatest films ever made. And like those two, it is with good reason. Quite simply, it is my favourite film of all time. Let's reel off everything good about this film (this may take time so I hope you're sitting comfortably). The cast: Rick (Bogart) is synnical and yet warm and kind. He lets others go about their business however detestable and stands up for what he believes him. He sticks his neck out for nobody and yet helps his friends whenever he can. Why does he do this? Because, like the best heroes, he is flawed, but the good people in life, like Ilsa, Lazlo and Sam bring out the good in him. Claude Rains as the Police Captain is one of my favourite and one of the most versatile actors of all time. Even he has good in him and comes good before the film finishes. And let's not forget Peter Lorre as Umgati. Many scenes and lines are burned into cinema history: 'Vultures everywhere', 'Are my eyes really brown', 'I am a drunkard....'That makes him a citizen of the World', 'Maybe not today, mayeb not tomorrow but soon and for the rest of your life', 'this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship'. The settings are also a dream, if I could spend one day in a Hollywood movie, I would spend the evening in 'Rick's' listening to Sam. Why do I love this film so much? Because it can leave you seething with anger at the sight of the Nazi's taking over the bar, then have the hairs on the back of neck stand on end as the French respond with the National anthem, then frightened as the Captain brings the dream to an end with one blow of his whistle for discovering the backroom, then laughing out loud as his gambling winnings are handed to him - all in the space of a couple of minutes. Funny, moving, inspiring, romantic, exciting, devilish, it is one of a VERY SMALL number of films that really does have it all! p.s. Just to further dispel a rumour: 'Play it again Sam' just like 'Beam me up Scotty' is an urban myth, it is never spoken!
Review: CASABLANCA 1942 - Casablanca is a 1942 American romantic drama anti-Nazi propaganda film directed by Michael Curtiz and based on Murray Burnett and Joan Alison's unproduced stage play Everybody Comes to Rick's. The film stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid; it features Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Dooley Wilson. Set during World War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, "love and virtue". He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her Czech Resistance leader husband escape the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis. Story editor Irene Diamond convinced producer Hal B. Wallis to purchase the film rights to the play in January 1942. Brothers Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein were initially assigned to write the script. However, despite studio resistance, they left to work on Frank Capra's Why We Fight series early in 1942. Howard E. Koch was assigned to the screenplay until the Epsteins returned a month later. Casey Robinson assisted with three weeks of rewrites, but his work would later go uncredited. Wallis chose Curtiz to direct the film after his first choice, William Wyler, became unavailable. Principal photography began on May 25, 1942, ending on August 3; the film was shot entirely at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, with the exception of one sequence at Van Nuys Airport in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. Although Casablanca was an A-list film with established stars and first-rate writers, no one involved with its production expected it to be anything out of the ordinary.[3] It was just one of hundreds of pictures produced by Hollywood every year. Casablanca had its world premiere on November 26, 1942, in New York City and was released on January 23, 1943, in the United States. The film was a solid if unspectacular success in its initial run, rushed into release to take advantage of the publicity from the Allied invasion of North Africa a few weeks earlier.[4] The film's reputation grew as audiences embraced it. Casablanca won three Academy Awards: for Best Picture, director, and writing (screenplay). Its lead characters,[5][6] memorable lines,[7][8][9] and pervasive theme song[10] have all become iconic. The film has consistently ranked near the top of lists of the greatest films of all time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a cast.
*by N***H on 3 July 2025*

We all know the film is an all time classic which everyone should see. As regards the bluray, top marks for crisp picture and lots of extras. In an increasingly depressing era for cinema this remains a tonic.
