A screening of the classic wartime romance starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. It was nominated for eight Oscars in 1943, and won for Best Picture, Best Director (Michael Curtiz) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Julius J. Epstein, Philip G. Epstein, and Howard Koch).

Based on an unproduced stage play called ‘Everybody Comes to Rick’s’, Casablanca (1942) is set amongst a group of characters stranded in the North African town by the war. Bar-owner Rick (Bogart) must choose between his love for Elsa (Bergman) and the need for her and her husband, Czech Resistance leader Victor (Paul Henreid), to escape back to Europe and continue the struggle against the Nazis.

The screening will be preceded and followed by the recording of the Best Pick Podcast.

Doors open at 13.30, for a 14.30 start.

Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
