Casablanca (1942)
Comment: One of the best love stories ever made.
Plot : In World War II Casablanca, Rick Blaine, exiled American
and former freedom fighter, runs the most popular nightspot in
town. The cynical lone wolf Blaine comes into the possession of
two valuable letters of transit. When Nazi Major Strasser arrives
in Casablanca, the sycophantic police Captain Renault does what
he can to please him, including detaining Czech underground leader
Victor Laszlo. Much to Rick's surprise, Lazslo arrives with Ilsa,
Rick's one time love. Rick is very bitter towards Ilsa, who ran
out on him in Paris, but when he learns she had good reason to,
they plan to run off together again using the letters of transit.
Well, that was their original plan....
