In this episode, John and Hadley discuss the 1942...or 1943 classic Casablanca! Directed by Michael Curtiz, this noir-romance-thriller-war drama-melting pot of a movie has been breaking hearts and inspiring generations of auteurs for decades. Considered one of the greatest films of all time, Casablanca tells the story of Rick and Ilse, lovers torn apart by World War 2 and brought back together in Casablanca by a series of life altering and desperate circumstances. John and Hadley discuss their wannabe film buff origins, break down the plot of this timeless tale, and introduce the film being discussed next week on the first episode of WE WANNA BE FILM BUFFS.
