Title: Casablanca
A.F.I. Ranking: 3
Director: Michael Curtiz
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains
Release Year: 1942
Brief Synopsis: In 1942 wartime refugees were heading towards Rick’s in Casablanca to get whatever documents they needed to flee and live a life of freedom. One day underground leader Victor Laszlo strolls into Rick’s joint with his wife Ilsa. As soon as Ilsa sits down and sees the café’s piano player, she realizes where she is at. She is at Rick Blaine’s place; Rick who she had a fling with some time back in Paris. Rick needs to decide if he is going to help her husband or try to get Ilsa back.
My Thoughts: This movie is the ultimate classic. Who hasn’t at least heard of this movie? And if somebody hasn’t heard of this movie, they have at least heard people quote it and not even known it. As you watch this movie you just hear famous quote after famous quote. This just goes to show how iconic this movie is. It is easy to see why. This movie has everything; war, murder, scandal, romance, great music, everything a great movie should have. Humphrey Bogart is the pinnacle of cool and set a standard that leading men in Hollywood have been trying to imitate ever since. If you have never seen this movie, I recommend getting some friends together, make a good meal, and sit back and enjoy.
“Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.”
