Casablanca (DVD)

Synopsis

"The best Hollywood movie of all time." -Leonard Maltin

Casablanca: easy to enter, but much harder to leave, especially if your name is on the Nazi's most-wanted list. Atop that list is Czech Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henried), whose only hope is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a cynical American who sticks his neck out for no one... especially Victor's wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the ex-lover who broke his heart. So when Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Laszlo's safe transport out of the country, the bitter Rick must decide what's more important - his own happiness or the countless lives that hang in the balance.

One of America's favorite films of all time. This classic romantic drama stars Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman with an excellent supporting cast in a story of love, war, betrayal and sacrifice. Bogart and Bergman light up the screen as Rick and Ilsa, former lovers briefly reunited in the chaos of war. He is a world-weary nightclub owner who "sticks his neck out for nobody" and she, a beautiful woman fleeing the Nazis with her Resistance-hero husband. Only Rick can help the pair escape... and only if Ilsa can reawaken the idealism she killed in him when she left him long ago.

Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture, Casablanca is America's most popular and beloved movie - and rightly so" (The Motion Picture Guide).
