Casablanca February 14, 2008

It almost seems unnecessary to describe the myriad delights of CASABLANCA, nevertheless… From the star-crossed romance between Rick (Bogart) and Ilsa (Bergman), to the complex intrigue of German-occupied French Morocco during WWII, to the supremely entertaining witty repartee between nightclub owner Rick and French police chief Louis (Rains), to that wonderfully heartbreaking airport farewell (never has the phrase “hill-of-beans” been used so romantically), CASABLANCA holds its own as one of the best and most enduringly entertaining films of all time. The Brattle’s connection with the film is the stuff of legend and our now traditional Valentine’s Day screenings are always sell-outs… be sure to get your tickets early!
