A romantic war adventure film from 1942, in which Humphrey Bogart plays a nightclub owner in Casablanca, Morocco, and Ingrid Bergman plays his former lover.
Note: Casablanca has a classic blend of love interest and international intrigue, and many lines from it are extremely familiar: “Here's looking at you, kid” (Bogart's toast to Bergman), and “Play it once, Sam — for old time's sake&ellipsis4; Play ‘As Time Goes By’” (Bergman's request to the pianist in Bogart's club), which is often misquoted as “Play it again, Sam.”
Largest city in Morocco. It is a port on the Atlantic Ocean.
Note: The city was the setting of Casablanca, a 1943 film starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
