“Casablanca” at
Library
Greenville Public Library's “Third Floor Film Series” will kick off its
2016 season with one of the most beloved films ever made:
Casablanca. This 1942 film is an all-time favorite among serious
cinephiles and more casual viewers alike. The movie combines stylish
visuals, wickedly clever dialogue, likable characters, and an exciting
plot to provide a viewing experience that still feels fresh and lively
seventy years after its initial release.
Casablanca stars Humphrey Bogart as Rick, an American ex-pat running a
night club in Casablanca, Morocco, during World War II. Casablanca
serves as a sort of purgatory, a no-man's-land between war-torn Europe
and the freedom and safety of America, and Rick's Cafe provides a place
for displaced persons and those running from the Germans to try to
broker deals to escape. When two letters of transit offering free
travel are stolen, seemingly everyone in Casablanca is out to get them
before the Germans confiscate them. Co-starring Ingrid Bergman,
Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, and Peter Lorre, Casablanca is a true
delight.
Please make plans to join us on Thursday, January 21, at 7:00 p.m. as
we screen Casablanca. Coffee, soft drinks, candy, and popcorn
will be available free of charge, and David Nilsen will be leading a
brief discussion after the film. Looking forward to seeing you
there!
