Casablanca, GFT, 28 May, 2017
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of Claude Rains’ death, we’re screening one of his greatest Oscar-nominated performances, as Captain Louis Renault in the iconic Casablanca. Incurable romantic Rick (Humphrey Bogart) has gathered together the pieces of his broken heart and taken refuge in Morocco, running a bar brimming with corrupt officials and patriotic refugees. Memories of Paris and a lost love sustain him. Then, out of all the gin joints in the world, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) walks into his. Conceived in chaos and executed in confusion, the miracle of Casablanca is that it emerged as a flawless Hollywood classic.
