Casablanca will be on Turner Class Movies Sat nite at 7 PM Central Time. Yes I did say that no one should get a college degree that has not seen and discussed the film. Dan Jenkins (Semi Tough author) claims to have seen it one hundred times. Harry Reasoner did perhaps his most famous 60 minutes segment on the making of the film, he even donned a white sport coat and resurrected the original set for the occasion. Nazis, Vichy France, a former gun smuggler (Humprhrey Bogart) to the Spanish Underground, a gorgeous woman (Ingrid Bergman), and another underground hero, her current escort.
Yep it will all be happening Saturday night at the Blue Parrot and Rick's Cafe American in Morocco.
This film is on every list of the Ten Best Films that has been compiled.
OH, warn the teenagers, oh not about the sex or violence, this is a 1941 film after all, but this may really shock them, yes like Dr. Strangelove,
it is in black and white!
