CASABLANCA
USA | 1942 | 1hr 42min | Warner Bros. Pictures Inc.
A cynical American expatriate struggles to decide whether or not he should help his former lover and her fugitive husband escape French Morocco.
“Seeing the film over and over again, year after year, I find it never grows over-familiar. It plays like a favorite musical album; the more I know it, the more I like it. The black-and-white cinematography has not aged as color would. The dialogue is so spare and cynical it has not grown old-fashioned. Much of the emotional effect of Casablanca is achieved by indirection; as we leave the theater, we are absolutely convinced that the only thing keeping the world from going crazy is that the problems of three little people do after all amount to more than a hill of beans.” — Roger Ebert
