At the height of World War II, American ex-patriate Rick Blaine (Humprey Bogart) owns an upscale nightclub in Casablanca, Morroco. It is there that Rick becomes bitter at the hands of fate when it brings his former lover Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) back to him, along with her husband and famed Czech Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid). Rick, whom has professed to be netural in all matters, finds himself caught in the middle between two opposing forces, a German major and a rebel leader, in a position of power due to his possession of valuable letters. With love and danger looming in the air, WHRO's Cinema 15 presents Casablanca on Saturday, February 17 at 8 p.m.
