CASABLANCA - FILM STUDY

Projected on our big screen, this will be a scene by scene look at one of the best loved films in history. Cythia Thayer will facilitate discussion, and movie-lovers of all kinds are encouraged to come - from the casual viewer to the serious scholar. Expect great conversation as well as great popcorn!

The movie's several subplots and fascinating lighting/set/costume devices which support the main plot, will be critiqued and discussed. Cynthia Thayer will facilitate and she encourages any and all commentary from the participants.

Casablanca is a 1942 film set during World War II in the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca, directed by Michael Curtiz, and starring Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine and Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund. It focuses on Rick's conflict between love and virtue: he must choose between his love for Ilsa and his need to do the right thing by helping her husband, Resistance hero Victor Laszlo, escape from Casablanca and continue his fight against the Nazis.

The film was an immediate hit, and it has remained consistently popular ever since. Critics have praised the charismatic performances of Bogart and Bergman, the chemistry between the two leads, the depth of characterization, the taut direction, the witty screenplay and the emotional impact of the work.

This comparatively low-budget, romance/adventure film was recognized as a masterpiece from the beginning. Casablanca won several Oscars at the 1943 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Writing.
