"Casablanca" (1942) directed by Michael Curtiz and written by Philip G. & Julius J. Epstein and Howard Koch (based on a play by Murray Burnett & Joan Alison) is widely known as one of the greatest and most important films in the history of cinema. Even those who dislike old and black and white movies enjoy “Casablanca”. Today you’ll learn why.

A perfect combination of universal, sharp and well-characterized screenwriting with a direction that is dynamic, rich and layered, "Casablanca" is the second film examined in the WHY IT'S A CLASSIC series.

A classic earns its place in the canon through recognizable quality. It stands out from heaps of contemporaneous works to always be named as the highest point an artform can aspire to. A classic prospers through history; it is canonized by time. Artistry alone can guarantee survival because history gives no handouts. Times change, cultures change, peoples change, but beauty, craft and excellence always remain. This series is a celebration of the pantheon of great films.

It’s 1941, Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) owns an American café in Casablanca, destination of thousands of immigrants escaping Europe on account of World War 2. Rick takes no sides, managing his bustling bar/casino while interacting with all sorts of odd fellows, including Ugarte (Peter Lorre), Ferrari (Sydney Greenstreet) and the corrupt chief of police, Louis Renault (Claude Rains). Things get dicey when Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), resistance fighter extraordinaire, arrives with Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), Rick’s former girlfriend who broke his heart.
