The American Film Institute asked people to vote for the best love story film. Top
of the list was Casablanca (1942) with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
Bogart played Rick Blaine, an American who was living in Casablanca, in North
Africa, during the war. Rick had a café. One day someone in the café gave Rick
two letters. The letters were very important because they could help two people
leave Casablanca.
One day Rick’s ex-girlfriend, Ilsa Lund, arrived at the café with her husband. They
were in danger, and needed to leave Casablanca immediately. They wanted to
buy the letters from Rick so that they could go to America together. But Rick was
still in love with Ilsa and he didn’t want to sell her the letters. He wanted Ilsa to
stay in Casablanca. At the end of the film Rick chose to help Ilsa and her husband
and he gave them the letters. As the plane was leaving Casablanca, Rick told Ilsa
to go with her husband. He did the right thing by helping her and her husband to
escape from Casablanca.
