The movie Casablanca was one of the greatest ever made. It starred Humphrey Bogart, and was released in 1942. It has been a point of study in University cinematography classes ever since.

Most viewers see it as first class entertainment, but Casablanca is much more than that. It was a World War II propaganda film, and I mean that in the most complimentary sense. It was designed to promote democracy and to point out the evils of totalitarian might.
