Casablanca [Chorley Empire Cinema]

Easy to enter, but much harder to leave, especially if you're wanted by the Nazis.

Such a man is Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), whose only hope is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a cynical American who sticks his neck out for no one especially Victor's wife, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the ex-lover who broke his heart.

Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Laszlo's transport out of the country and bitter Rick must decide what counts more - personal happiness or countless lives hanging in the balance.Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture, Casablanca marks decades as a beloved favourite.

No matter how often you've seen it, this looks like yet another beginning of a beautiful friendship with an unforgettable classic.
