YesAsia Editorial Description
World War II Morocco springs to life in Michael Curtiz's (THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, YANKEE DOODLE DANDY) classic love story. Colorful characters abound in Casablanca, a waiting room for Europeans trying to escape Hitler's war-torn Europe. Humphrey Bogart plays Richard "Rick" Blaine, a cynical but good-hearted American whose café is the gathering place for everyone from the French Police to the black market to the Nazis. When his long-lost love, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), surfaces in Casablanca with her Resistance leader husband, Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), Rick is pulled into both a love triangle and a web of political intrigue. Ilsa and Victor need to escape from Casablanca, and Rick may be the only one who can help them. The question is, will he?
Top-notch performances include Claude Rains as the chief of the French police and the major authority figure in Unoccupied France, Peter Lorre as the doomed Senor Ugarte, Sydney Greenstreet as Senor Ferrari, and Dooley Wilson as Rick's loyal friend and the café's pianist, Sam. The mesmerizing musical score, by Max Steiner, along with the well-structured plot, flawless acting, and unforgettable dialogue makes this one of the best films of all time.
"...Absolutely sound, rock-solid in its use of Hollywood studio craftsmanship....The black-and-white cinematography has not aged as color would. The dialogue is so spare and cynical it has not grown old-fashioned..."
- Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 09/15/1996
"...One of the most perfect Hollywood movies ever made..."
- Lisa, Schwarzbaum (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 08/08/2003
"Possibly the most famous film ever made, CASABLANCA has everything..." - Ceri, Thomas (Total Film Critic), Total Film, 07/01/2000
"...Here Humphrey Bogart transformed himself into a romantic hero..."
- Premiere Staff (Premiere Staff), Premiere, 12/01/2003
"Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart provide the chemistry that sets this apart from countless other tales of doomed wartime love affairs."
- Andrea, Toal (Sight and Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 03/01/2004
