1942; directed by Michael Curtiz; screenplay by Howard Koch, Philip and Julius Epstein
With an impossibly perfect cast featuring Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Paul Henreid, Peter Lorre, Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Conrad Veidt, and Dooley Wilson, Casablanca is one of Hollywood’s most celebrated films. Bogart is stoically content as an isolationist café owner in wartime Casablanca until lost love Bergman shows up with her husband (Henreid), a Resistance leader. Screenwriter Koch was a Bard College graduate. 102 minutes
