One of the best, and certainly one of the most quoted, films in theatre history, Casablanca contains all the essential components of a Hollywood blockbuster: adventure, romance, intrigue, suspense, and naturally, noxious Fascist bad men. With a director [ if you doubt this last one as an essential element, then reference the success of the Indiana Jones films ].

With a director [ picture ever made. and cast second to none, Casablanca makes a strong case for consideration as the best movie ever made. And although I loath clichés, it is true that they just don’t make ‘em like this one anymore... Casablanca Rick's, a place called of Fascist controlled Europe. watering hole in Vichey-controlled Morocco on the edges of Nazi dominated Europe. An important travel center, Casablanca plays host to many colorful characters with any number of varying agendas.

Arms dealers, spies, and revolutionaries walk side-by-side through streets littered with thieves. But at Rick’s, everyone seems Rick Blaine [ Humphrey Bogart ] appears content with his life of serving buyers and making money, at least until the day she walks in, Ilsa Lund [ Ingrid Bergman ], the love of Rick’s life. Less than two years earlier, as the Fascists moved into Paris, Rick and Ilsa fell in love.

But in the act of fleeing the Fascist advance, Ilsa sent Rick a note at the train station informing him that she could not go with him. She offered no explanation. Now, she was appearing in his conglomerate with her hubby, fugitive and Fascist resistance leader Victor Laszlo. As the hours pass, and the Nazis desperately search for Laszlo in an attempt to cut off his escape, Rick learns the truth about Ilsa and her reason for leaving.

At present, Laszlo’s destiny is in his hands. Since his days in Paris, Rick’s made a practice of being practical, both in his business life and in his personal life… But will Rick use his influence and connections to help himself or Victor Laszlo? Will his idealism overcome over his hardened pragmatism? The Third Reich is closing in, and Rick must make a call per Ilsa and Laszlo before time runs out… The recipient of widespread urgent commend in the more than six decades since its release, Casablanca is one of the few films deemed as a cinema classic that really lives up to the mega-hype surrounding it. The set design, costumes, and direction are absolutely flawless. The dialogue is wonderful. Bogart and Bergman are perfect as the lovers ripped apart, and Claude Rains is unforgettable as Captain Renault. If you’ve got a dislike to pre-1980 pictures or some other peculiar reason for missing out on this one, then I highly inspire you to observe Casablanca. You will not regret it.
