We’ll Always Have Casablanca
This year marks the 75th anniversary of “Casablanca,” one of Hollywood’s most beloved classics. It’s remembered as a great romance, but more interestingly, it’s a film about refugees trying to escape war-torn Nazi Europe, performed by a cast of mostly European refugees who had recently done the same.
