Casablanca: easy to enter, but much harder to leave, especially if your name is on the Nazi’s most wanted list. Atop the list is Czech Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), whose only hope is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a cynical American who sticks his neck out for no one - especially Victor’s wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the ex-lover who broke his heart. So when Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Lazlo’s safe transport out of the country, the bitter Rick must decide what’s more important - his own happiness or the countless lives that hang in the balance.
Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture, Casablanca is "America’s most popular and beloved movie - and rightly so" -The Motion Picture Guide! |
