On Wednesday, March 21, at 7:00 pm (local time), the film that topped the AFI's list of the "100 Greatest Love Stories of All Time," will screen at select theaters nationwide.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">  </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqE7BrIbIWNKDk81SRGxMqS_NFgXq5zqrBa5tksFErwxE7vC0AuCPYTrrbzIGjy2nD78_MtrqDq8fw5CDKA-sJBq1u7Lngd2GAsCqwu6x5KcFOc8Kf8gcdvsH8q9EPTfB0aeFpois7PIT/s1600/Claude++Rains,+Conrad+Veidt++%28Casablanca%29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqE7BrIbIWNKDk81SRGxMqS_NFgXq5zqrBa5tksFErwxE7vC0AuCPYTrrbzIGjy2nD78_MtrqDq8fw5CDKA-sJBq1u7Lngd2GAsCqwu6x5KcFOc8Kf8gcdvsH8q9EPTfB0aeFpois7PIT/s200/Claude++Rains,+Conrad+Veidt++%28Casablanca%29.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Conrad Veidt and Claude Rains</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Winner of Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director (Michael Curtiz) and Best Original Screenplay (the Epstein brothers and Howard Koch), <i>Casablanca </i>was nominated for a total of eight Academy Awards in 1942, including nominations for Best Actor (Humphrey Bogart), Best Supporting Actor (Claude Rains) and Best Musical Score (Max Steiner). Is there a silver screen classic that better defines World War II romance? I don't think so. Who can resist a wartime tale of lost love and broken hearts with stars like Bogart and Ingrid Bergman - </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> set in Morocco and Paris</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">? And then there's the phenomenal supporting cast - Claude Rains, Paul Henreid, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Conrad Veidt, S.Z. Sakall, Dooley Wilson, Leonid Kinskey, Joy Page and Madeleine Lebeau (still with us at age 88) - a brilliant script and Max Steiner's iconic score. </span><br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtnjSJsPSmqJg8KTt4jTwwOZ5xcnQ5KTbr2dd4QUc7hui3MSIJbcl4SFq1HdbgOJyWNXT1rMpUZkUJIog8Dw8OsmTQbFSdBWPt0L7cVKlATn68Uypgb3ZK_rETn3UbC9Fmh1YtqF13jOzn/s1600/Casablanca+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtnjSJsPSmqJg8KTt4jTwwOZ5xcnQ5KTbr2dd4QUc7hui3MSIJbcl4SFq1HdbgOJyWNXT1rMpUZkUJIog8Dw8OsmTQbFSdBWPt0L7cVKlATn68Uypgb3ZK_rETn3UbC9Fmh1YtqF13jOzn/s200/Casablanca+2.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The beginning of a beautiful friendship</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The presentation will begin with a special 15-minute segment hosted by TCM's  Robert Osborne who will take the audience behind the scenes on the making of the <i>Casablanca</i>...and more.
