CertificationPG Our Rating
Nothing more can be said about this classic melodrama from the peak of the Hollywood studio-film era. Hardened cynic Bogart softens when he meets old flame Bergman who is now a refugee in neutral wartime Casablanca. Together they outwit the Germans... and of course there's that famous song. Watch this classic or some day you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow...

A true classic in every sense of the word! The story of men at war, with Clift as the private who refuses to box, Sinatra as the chirpy Italian and Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr romping adulterously in the surf. It won 8 Oscars including Best Picture, in 1953. Still absolutely superb.
