Well, people who have great affinity towards film should be aware of “Casablanca“, A real Fresco of all time. It is considered as classic and the most loved melodrama which was filmed in the year 1942. Directed by very talented Hungarian- accented ‘Micheal Curtiz’. This movie has won 3 Academy Award (1944) which includes Best Director (Micheal Curtiz), Best Picture and also Best Writing Screenplay (Julius j. Epstein, Philip g. Epstein & Howard Koch).

The movie is about Expatriate Rick Blaine (Humphrey Boggart), a cynical night club owner in Casablanca, discovers that his ex-lover llsa (Ingrid Bergman) has arrived in Casablanca with her Resistance leader husband, Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) with the German on Victor’s trail. llsa has come to the club to beg Rick for the precious letters of transit that have come into his possession. The documents would allow Victor to escape Casablanca and continue the fight against Fascism.

The movie flows with many interesting sequences where Rick and llsa face each other in the club. Ingrid Bergman has played with her facial expression in those scenes where llsa meets her love Rick in front of Victor. The expression on her faca takes a rapid change with happiness first on meeting Rick after a long time, to guilty action of leaving him behind. Her acting is worth appreciating.
