Casablanca - Special Edition 2 Disc Set


Humphrey Bogart is an American expatriate and war profiteer in WW II Morocco, content to merely run the Cafe American until his love from Paris, Ingrid Bergman, returns to his life. The mixture of elements: love, honor and the Nazi occupation are a receipt for a truly great story of the American Cinema. Starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Written by Murray Burnett (play) and Joan Alison, Julius Epstein, Philip Epstein and Howard Koch.

 


Selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry of American Film.
