Our new series Good Taste in Movies: American Film Classics – An Aesthetic Introduction kicks off with Michael Kurtiz's wartime classic, the first truly modern movie. In Rick's bar in Casablanca, so popular among the city's European refugees, American exceptionalism clashes with global sentiments, and hardboiled cynicism with the romantic ideal. Can cinema's most charismatic couple do the right thing, or will they be too tempted to put themselves first?
