Casablanca

Charming New York adventurer Rick runs a club in Casablanca. It is 1941, and the city on Africa's Atlantic coast is a destination for all kinds of humanity: spies, poor people wanting to expatriate, resistance heroes, hustlers, traffickers, professional gamblers. The beautiful Ilssa arrives at the club, along with her husband Victor Lazlo, hunted by the Nazis. Rick had met the woman in Paris a year earlier and there was a brief, intense romance between the two. When they meet again there is a spark again. Rick is in possession of two valuable passes and plans to leave with the woman. A legendary film of the Hollywood of yesteryear, capable of influencing virtually every genre from that time forward, Michael Curtiz's "Casablanca" for more than 80 years remains unassailable in power and charm.
