Set in unoccupied Africa during the early days of World War II: An American expatriate meets a former lover, with unforeseen complications.
Of all the performances in all the world, Bogart’s Blaine is perhaps the most iconic. But Humph’s just one reason to revisit a perennial favourite that hasn’t dimmed with age.
The most iconic War romance in cinema history and deservedly so. This is a perfect blend of a tight script, stylish cinematography and cult performances from Bogart and Bergman.
Still the perfect movie for a certain day that falls next Tuesday.
See you again at age 80, 90, 100, etc…
Seventy years on, this great romantic noir is still grippingly powerful.
A film that just gets better as time goes by.
The most enjoyable non-western ever made.
