Welcome to Rick's, the hot spot in Casablanca! Rick's, run by Richard "Rick" Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), is where people come from all over Europe in order to escape World War II and the terror of the Nazi's . Visitors gamble at the roulette table, make fishy deals at their tables, bribe officials at the bar, and toast to future health everywhere. All of this takes place under the tunes from Sam's (Dooley Wilson) piano while Rick refrains from drinking with customers. One night Rick is approached by Guillermo Ugarte (Peter Lorre), a regular, who trusts Rick and asks if he can hold some visa papers for him. This is the beginning of a heart breaking episode for Rick, since he once again has to face a woman who previously broke his heart. This woman is Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), a woman he meet in Paris before the Nazi's occupied France and who he was supposed to escape with. However, she ran off at the last minute and he has not seen her since he saw her last in Paris. Casablanca has a fabulous cast as it is telling a story buried in secrets, spies, murders, and lies. In the end, Casablanca will provide a suspenseful adventure interlaced with love and greed with honorable and cynical characters. |
