Back in 1942, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman starred in Michael Curtiz’s romantic drama classic.
Set and filmed during World War 2, the story follows Bogey’s American expat Rick, the owner of a nightclub in Vichy-controlled Morocco.
When his old flame (Ingrid Bergman) seeks him out, he soon realises she needs her help.
Her Czech rebel husband needs to escape the country before being captured by the Germans, led by Conrad Veidt’s Major.
Veidt was a refugee German actor who fled the Nazis with his Jewish wife, was the highest paid actor in the film despite second billing and died a year after its release.
Despite being an A-list movie, Warner Bros didn’t expect Casablanca to stand out as it did. Nominated for eight Oscars, what is now considered one of the greatest films of all time took home Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay.
