Casablanca
Movie Information
In Brief: Possibly the most beloved of all movies, Michael Curtiz's Casablanca (1942) is a combination of happy accidents, studio professionalism and plain dumb luck that came together to create the most perfect of all Hollywood studio movies, a perfect blend of studio system efficiency that still allowed for personal creativity. It has more quotable lines and crowd-pleasing scenes than a dozen other movies put together. If you've (unthinkably) never seen it or if you've only even seen it on TV, this screening is a chance to see it on the silver screen and to understand how it came to be called the silver screen in the first place with its gloriously shimmering images. If there is such a thing as a truly perfect film, this may be it. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke originally published on June 10, 2014.
