There will be a short film shown before this feature.
During the Second World War Casablanca was a bustling city, filled with Europeans fleeing the Germans and waiting for visas to travel to America. And American expatriate Rick (Humphrey Bogart), who mysteriously cannot return to his country, owns the most popular café in town.
When former lover Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) walks in one night with her husband, the Resistance hero Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), we start to discover what lies beneath Rick's cynical exterior.
No less than six writers worked on the script, and it produced some of the most quotable lines in cinema history.
