More than just a film, Casablanca is to many a snapshot of Europe before America entered the war in 1941 and to others a universal statement of war, love, and commitment. We will screen the film at the first session (optional to attend) and the following two sessions discuss the times, the cast, the writers, the crew, and the studio that led to this masterpiece, as well as its impact even today. The only requirement is to watch the film and discuss how it all came together.
