They had a date with fate in Casablanca!

No film has captured the minds and hearts of filmgoers quite like 1944's Oscar-winner for Best Film, Casablanca. Full of mystery, romance and intrigue, this is a film for sweethearts and roustabouts alike. Set during World War Two in the limbo city of Casablanca, Rick Blaine is a club owner running from his own broken heart and troubled past. When an old flame walks in seeking his help, Rick must wrestle with himself and the city's officials in order to do what's right. There's nothing to top the chemistry between Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in this wartime weepy - except maybe the exoticism of Casablanca itself.

Join us in the Royal Academy of Arts' grand Annenberg Courtyard for an evening of classic noir romance!
