I pride myself on watching classic movies but I have something to share with you. I haven’t seen Casablanca even though I know a quote or two from the movie. Being a classic film I plan on having Charlie watch this in his Homeschool Drama Class. I would like to invite you to watch the movie with us. Charlie and I will even provide the snacks.
In Charlie’s Homeschool reading class Charlie will be reading Casablanca Collectors Edition Magazine The Greatest Love Story Ever 75 Years Later 2017 98 pages .I can’t wait until I have the opportunity to look through the magazine as well. In the meantime I hope you enjoyed our Homeschool Resource: Casablanca.
Casablanca is a 1942 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz, and starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid. Filmed and set during World War II, it focuses on an American expatriate (Bogart) who must choose between his love for a woman (Bergman) and helping her husband (Henreid), a Czechoslovak resistance leader, escape from the Vichy-controlled city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Germans. The screenplay is based on Everybody Comes to Rick’s, an unproduced stage play by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison. The supporting cast features Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Dooley Wilson.
Warner Bros. story editor Irene Diamond convinced producer Hal B. Wallis to purchase the film rights to the play in January 1942. Brothers Julius and Philip G. Epstein were initially assigned to write the script. However, despite studio resistance, they left to work on Frank Capra‘s Why We Fight series early in 1942. Howard Koch was assigned to the screenplay until the Epsteins returned a month later. Principal photography began on May 25, 1942, ending on August 3; the film was shot entirely at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, with the exception of one sequence at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles.
