And this is the setting of Casablanca, which was shot in during the height of the controversial rule of the French State. In the movie, Casablanca is a hotbed of illegal activity. The not-so-neutral French held city has become a gathering place for individuals fleeing from encroaching German forces. In this crowded holding pen, people desperate to reach the security of North America attempt to buy exit visas—but these tickets to freedom are pricy.
Amongst those trying to escape is Victor Laszlo Paul Henreid , whose reputation as an anti-Nazi activist has prompted an elite group of German officers to call on the local French authority.
The popular nightclub is as well known for its black market deals as its cocktails and hard liquor. Sure enough, Laszlo and his lady friend show up, asking discrete questions about a man recently and forcibly arrested in connection with the valuable visas. Suddenly the tough American, who claims no allegiance to either Axis or Allies, finds himself intrigued.
And his obvious curiosity over Ilsa soon has both Strasser and Renault wondering about his possible connection to Laszlo and the liberation cause. Considered a piece of film history, this black and white production is one parents may be eager to share with their children.

Lazlo then shows up with Isla Lund Bergman , his wife, looking for those papers. From frame one this delivers a great story, with compelling characters done in a fashionable but not overbearing style.
Bogart may have had a somewhat limited range, but he could nail it when it was in his wheelhouse. Here, he never hits any false notes. One of the biggest problems with modern movies is that few performers pop in a couple of minutes. But Peter Lorre has scant minutes of screen time, and creates a complete character, as can be said of Greenstreet. Claude Rains treats every sentence like a dessert. But it allows for a great ending, one of the most famous in all of cinema.
