"Round up the usual suspects!" Casablanca continues Cinema Cemetery's trek through World War II, this time exploring life in "unoccupied France" on the outpost city of Casablanca in Morocco. Here, refugees both wealthy and poor, await the chance to flee the war-ravaged Europe and escape to the United States. Deception, treason, bribery, and an occasional bout of Dueling Pianos are all common place.
Hailed by some as one of the greatest movies of all time, do Humphrey Bogart and Casablanca still hold up, or does it only now amount to a hill of beans. Here's looking at you as you are listening to us on this week's episode of Cinema Cemetery.
