Synopsis

Academy Award winners Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman light up the screen in one of the most enduring romances in movie history - Casablanca.

Rick Blaine (Bogart - The African Queen, The Caine Mutiny) owns a nightclub in Vichy-controlled Casablanca, frequented by refugees desperate to escape German domination. Despite the ever-present human misery, Rick manages to remain uninvolved in World War II now raging across Europe and Northern Africa. But all that changes when Ilsa Lund (Bergman - Gaslight, Notorious) walks through the front door of Rick's club--Rick must now choose between a life with the woman he loves and becoming the hero that both she and the world need.

A movie that everyone needs to see
06 December 2008
To be talking about a film 60 years after its release is quite remarkable. This just shows what an impact ‘Casablanca’ has had on cinema. A romantic tale unlike any other, ‘Casablanca’ tells the tale of cynical bar owner Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart). Blaine morbidly struggles through life taking in and helping illegal refuges until a chance meeting shocks him to the core. Out of the blue, an ex-lover who broke his heart arrives in Casablanca seeking his help – a reunion that will change his life forever. ‘Casablanca’ is so much more than just a love story. The plot is intriguing and keeps you on your toes all the way through and Bogart’s performance is one of the great performances. This is a movie that everyone needs to see – even if it is only to save you from embarrassment when someone asks you (and they will) what you thought of it.
