The Plaza Classic celebrates the centennial of the legendary Warner Bros. Studios by bringing back perhaps their most famous film and one of the most beloved. In his most famous performance, Humphrey Bogart plays Rick, the cynical American expatriate running a saloon in French Morocco during World War II. Rick’s lonely existence is suddenly changed with the arrival of his former lover (Ingrid Bergman) and her resistance leader husband (Paul Henreid). How this film came to be is a drama in itself. It faced multiple casting and directorial changes, and the screenplay was in constant rewrites by five different writers, up until the end of shooting. The result was a masterpiece that won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and is ranked by many as the most romantic movie ever made. — Jack Fields
