Dateline November 26, 1942: Casablanca premiered at the Hollywood Theater in New York City on November 26,
1942, to coincide with the Allied invasion of North Africa and the
capture of Casablanca. It is a 1942 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz and based on Murray Burnett and Joan Alison's un-produced stage play Everybody Comes to Rick's. The film stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid; and features Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Dooley Wilson. Set during World War II,
it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, "love
and virtue". He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her
Czech Resistance leader husband escape the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis.
