Rick’s Cafe is the gathering place for the good, the bad and the ugly, but Rick (Bogart) doesn’t care, as long as they spend their money. One day, of all the bars in all the world, Rick’s long-lost love, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) walks in with her resistance leader husband, Victor (Paul Henreid), and Rick is pulled into both a love triangle and a web of political intrigue. Ilsa and Victor need to escape from Casablanca, and Rick may be the only one who can help them.
Casablanca has become quintessential Hollywood, lovingly remembered for the Bogart-Bergman-Henreid romantic triangle at its emotional heart, and features some of the most fondly remembered (and often misquoted) lines in film history. Play it, Sam.
Made in collaboration with Humphrey Bogart's family and estate, Kathryn Ferguson's (Nothing Compares) doc is a honest, intimate account of the life of the greatest male star of American cinema history.
Humphrey Bogart gives a revelatory, vulnerable performance in this story of a washed-up screenwriter with a hair-trigger temper who becomes the prime suspect in a brutal Tinseltown murder.
