Casablanca [1942]

starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt
directed by: Michael Curtiz

Release Date June 01, 2006
What can you say about Casablanca that's not been said? Well, you could say it's a Last Man Standing choir contest in a Moroccan bar with Germans, French and Americans in the play-off and no viewer vote. There's a black pianist called Sam who doesn't know who he's playing it again for. Sorry - whom. Otherwise, just the luckiest bunch of circumstances coming together to rush out a wartime film to bolster the North Africa campaign: a love story, brilliant script, great director and the unlikeliest hit combination of actors make this 10-week wonder iconic and irresistible. Bergman falls for a guy with a face like a bag of spanners. Well, it never happened to me !
