Editorial Reviews

Star-crossed lovers meet during wartime under the Moorish arches of Rick's Café Americain in Casablanca. This legendary melodrama is one of the most perfectly realized movies to come out of the Hollywood studio system. Directed by Hungarian émigré Michael Curtiz, it stars Humphrey Bogart in his iconic role as the fiercely independent but ultimately honorable Rick, an American expatriate running a swanky nightclub on the French North African coast. An embittered romantic, Rick has never forgotten the beautiful and enigmatic Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), who left him waiting at the train station in Paris as Nazi tanks rolled in. Their secret love, unexpectedly rekindled at Rick's, drives a charged narrative set against an exotic backdrop. Bogart and Bergman supply enormous star power, to be sure. But Casablanca's witty script, brisk pacing, lush atmosphere, and bittersweet romance -- not to mention a splendid performance by Claude Rains as the morally flexible French official, Inspector Renault -- all help make it the classic that it is.

Casablanca French Moroccoby TomBarnes39

November 11, 2008: Early during World War II an unproduced stage play manuscript called 'Everybody Comes to Ricks' made its way to the story department at Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank, California.
The story eventually caught on and was OK'd for production.
Rick's Cafe was the gathering place for wealthy French expatriates, refugees, French, German and Italian officers. Host Rick (Humphrey Bogart)carries out a show of strict neutrality. The story revolves around stolen exit visas and when Rick's lost lover, 'We'll always have Paris,' (Ingrid Bergman), shows up at Rick's place the pot really begins to boil.
Bogart is at his best playing off a wonderful cast of characters Claude Rains and Sydney Greenstreet among them feeding him one liners which he served back with perfect timing. And it has an ending that every producer in the world would die for.
The movie was shipped off to New York's Radio City Music Hall without high hopes or fanfair.
But the first audience gave the movie its due and Jack Warner flew out of the theatre and jumped into a phone booth to tell the the West Coast studio they had a hit. Indeed they did.
If you've never seen Casablanca, you've missed one of the great ones.

I Also Recommend: The Big Sleep, Citizen Kane, Sunset Boulevard, Term Limits.
