Casablanca has become one of the most classic films of all time. The main character is Rick Blaine (Bogart). Once a freedom fighter, Blaine now looks after himself and only himself, running a bar in Nazi occupied Africa. When his former lover (Bergman), a famous freedom fighter (Heinreid) and a Nazi officer (Veidt) all take interest in his bar, Blaine has to decide whether he is going to help his ex escape with her new lover or to just ignore it all.Casablanca has some moving scenes - such as the singing scene in the bar - and a quotable dialogue. The acting is superb and the story is enticing enough to make you want to know more. Seeing as this was made while world war two was still going on, it's quite surprising that people still lit this on top 100 lists today. It is simply that good.
****Good
