and White; Not Rated; 102 minutes; 1942
One of the most memorable of all film
experiences, CASABLANCA is a true Hollywood legend. All the elements of the
production—story, cast, photography, direction, and music—are woven expertly
together to create a motion picture monument. Wartime refugees gather in
Morocco to obtain scarce exit visas to Lisbon. The final airport sequence is an
event not to be forgotten.
REVIEWS
"Cinema par excellence . . . one of
the outstanding entertainment experiences of cinema history."
- Leslie Halliwell, HALLIWELL'S FILM AND
VIDEO GUIDE
"A picture which makes the spine
tingle and the heart take a leap . . . they have so combined sentiment, humor
and pathos with taut melodrama and bristling intrigue that the result is a
highly entertaining and even inspiring film."
- THE NEW YORK TIMES
