Having won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 1944 Academy Awards, it is easy to see how this film, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman is consistently considered a classic. Acting out a tortured relationship of love and virture, this pair is iconic in these roles. This 1942 tale of love and war has never ceased to enthrall.
"More an icon than a work of art, CASABLANCA is still thoroughly entertaining romantic melodrama, flawlessly directed, subtly played, lovingly evoking our collective daydreams about lost chances and lost loves and love versus honor; everything about CASABLANCA is just right--it seems to have been filmed under a lucky star." -TV Guide Magazine
