One of the most beloved American films, this captivating wartime adventure of romance and intrigue from director Michael Curtiz defies standard categorization. Simply put, it is the story of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a world-weary ex-freedom fighter who runs a nightclub in Casablanca during the early part of WWII. Despite pressure from the local authorities, notably the crafty Capt. Renault (Claude Rains), Rick's cafĂ (C) has become a haven for refugees looking to purchase illicit letters

Nothing short of an invasion could add much to Casablanca.
Top CriticFilm should be a solid moneymaker everywhere.
Part of what makes this wartime Hollywood drama (1942) about love and political commitment so fondly remembered is its evocation of a time when the sentiment of this country about certain things appeared to be unified.
Across seven decades, the Humphrey Bogart-Ingrid Bergman starrer has emerged as Americans' default favorite movie.
Yes, indeed, the Warners here have a picture which makes the spine tingle and the heart take a leap.
The greatest pleasure anyone can derive from this movie comes through simply watching it.
Rick and Ilsa. Laszlo and the letters of transit. Captain Renault and his charming corruptibility. "As Time Goes By." "Here's looking at you, kid." You know the routine. So round up the usual accolades.
The 70th anniversary blu-ray edition reaffirms Casablanca's status as a cult picture and Boggie's legendary performance
Its undying appeal may be the result of the Hollywood factory's skill, in those days, in fashioning something memorable out of virtually nothing.
Even hardened cynics who might be impelled to dismiss it as a collection of button-pushing clichés will most likely get swept up in the all the unabashed romance.
Every kid should see this Bogart classic.
Although it was made in 1942, "Casablanca" is still the greatest romantic drama ever made.
This is it. The best movie ever made.
This handsomely packaged three-disc DVD box set is jam-packed with extras, meant to please fans and cinema history buffs alike.
The movie has a peculiar magic to it, and it's in the richness of its details that mostly go unnoticed because of the film's pace.
Its new high-definition remastering and lossless sound should keep it fresh for a very long time to come. (70th Anniversary Blu-ray edition)
It is the product of numerous accidents, all of them happy, and I laugh, cry and have my better instincts appealed to whenever I see it.
It is one of the most timeless of all movies in terms of topic, emotion, acting and motivation.
There's a reason the world loves this wartime film, now digitally restored: more memorable dialogue than should be strictly legal, heartbreaking performances from the two leads and a plot that works with Swiss-watch precision.
One of the greatest and beloved love stories of the "Golden Years of Hollywood", an original script with essential acting and direction. Fresh.

CASABLANCA, unfortunately, suffers from the same two things that plague almost every movie released prior to the 1960s. It tends to be slow and trashy. Somehow, I actually teared up a bit within the last twenty minutes of the film. It's not often I'm as interested in a film so dated as I was here, nor is it often for
