CASABLANCA: Iconic quotes and anti-heroes in WWII Morocco - Four Play Ep 40 (Money Shot)

The timeless classic Casablanca from 1942 closes our Money Shot arc with one of Roger Ebert’s top films of all time. Featuring iconic performances from Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains, the film deftly portrays the confusion and chaos of World War II even in a seemingly far-flung Moroccan city. Thorin, Richard, and Monte discuss the themes of self-sacrifice, lost love, and duty to a higher cause that permeate the movie as well as explaining important historical context.
