Casablanca is a 1942 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz, and starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid.

The screenplay is based on Everybody Comes to Rick's, an unproduced stage play by Person:Murray Burnett and Person:Joan Alison. The supporting cast features Person:Claude Rains, Person:Conrad Veidt, Person:Sydney Greenstreet, Person:Peter Lorre, and Person:Dooley Wilson.
