Overview |
The time: World War II. The place: Morocco. The film: Casablanca, perhaps the most legendary achievement in cinematic history. Suspenseful, gloriously romantic and filled with unforgettable dialog, this winner of three Oscars®* continues to top critics' lists of all-time favorite films, for as Roger Ebert so aptly put it, "Casablanca is the movie!" Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman light up the screen as Rick and Ilsa, former lovers briefly reunited in the chaos of war. He is a world-weary nightclub owner who "sticks his neck out for nobody" and she is a beautiful woman fleeing the Nazis with her Resistance-hero husband. Only Rick can help the pair escape...and only if Ilsa can reawaken the idealism she killed in him when she left him long ago. Bogie and Bergman are incomparable as the star-crossed lovers who'll "always have Paris" – and Casablanca is the quintessential, eminently quotable film you'll watch again and again "as time goes by."
