Popcorn Culture - Throwback: Casablanca

Casablanca is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made, and for good reason. Starring classic Hollywood icons Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, the film is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. With World War II in the background, a club owner named Rick agrees to help his ex, Ilsa, and her husband. To no one's surprise, both Rick and Ilsa realise they still have all sorts of feelings for each other. We review the legendary Casablanca and discuss if it has aged well, the appeal of classic Hollywood cinema, as well as the magnetic charisma of both Bogart and Bergman.
