More on Casablanca:
Released by Warner Bros Pictures in 1942, Casablanca won three Oscars and was nominated in an additional five categories. Directed by Michael Curtiz, the classic romance stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre.
The Plot: “In Casablanca, Bogart plays Rick, a nightclub owner who gets involved in smuggling refugees out of Vichy-controlled Casablanca. Bergman is Ilsa, the woman he once lost and who is now seeking to escape the Nazis with her husband, Victor (Henreid). And Rains is the corrupt police inspector whose loyalties are hard to place.”
