Casablanca

Podcast Release Date:

Feb 07, 2025

You must remember this…

Humphrey Bogart thought he lost Ingrid Bergman when the Nazis invaded Paris, but their romance (and all of WWII-torn Europe) gets a second chance in a Casablanca nightclub years later. But is Rick heartless enough to make Ilsa his Plus One on the last plane out, and leave her freedom fighter husband Paul Henreid in Third Reich custody?  Or is this 1942 Best Picture winner actually a love letter to patriotism, as the cynical American and his French BFF Claude Rains flirt with choosing country over womanizing. February Patrons find out now.
