10 - Casablanca (1942)

Here it is, one of the most iconic movies of old Hollywood, a movie that some people can quote without ever having watched it, a movie that will never grow old. “Casablanca”, released in 1942, directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart among other wonderful actors. What makes it such a classic, though? And is it really that good? I hope you enjoy!

Om Podcasten

A podcast where I talk about movies from the 30s to the 60s. I will be looking at the plot, themes, characters, funny anecdotes, and anything worth mentioning. The structure of the podcast will alternate between very famous movies from the time (eg Hitchcock) and lesser known movies that are definitely worth talking about. I will also be dedicating some episodes to specific actors and directors and looking at their contribution to cinema.
