"Round up the usual suspects." Considered one of the greatest movies of all time by many, Casablanca is one of those films that is just timeless. American expatriate Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) owns a nightclub in Casablanca, Morocco, which is under German occupation at the time of the film (December 1941, around the time of Pearl Harbor). Although he claims to be neutral, his neutrality is severely tested when his former lover, Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) arrives with her husband, Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), who is a Czech Resistance fighter who has escaped from a Nazi concentration camp, attempting to escape to America - something which the Germans do not intend to let happen. Filled with romance, suspense, and wonderful acting, Casablanca is a must-see for everyone.
Rating: 4/4
