There is no greater tribute to Curtiz's narrative mastery than CASABLANCA, his roving camera deftly catching a dozen memorable and quotable performances (Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Dooley Wilson, et al.) in Rick's Cafe Americain. A World War II propaganda film that remains a beloved touchstone as time goes by, this Best Picture Academy Award winner represents golden age Hollywood filmmaking at its height.
