One Sentence Plot Summary: A stoic man with a troubled past operates a popular nightclub in the Morroccan City of Casablanca, a stopping point for many Europeans trying to escape the horrors of WWII...enter the troubled past.
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre
Best of: Setting, mood, and atmosphere are brilliantly staged. The script effortlessly weaves romance, action and comedy. Humphry Bogart either created a fantastic character or is just a weird guy.
Worst of: So many of the famous lines are now cliches that it is impossible to hear them objectively for the first time.
Notable: The line "Play it again, Sam" never appears in the film. The closest we get is "Play it, Sam" which just doesn't have the same ring.
