Named the greatest male film star of all time by the American Film Institute, Bogart defined the noir detective role, creating the persona of “cool” along the way. The Academy Award winner dominated the 1940s and 1950s with a long list of now-classic films.
“Casablanca,” which regularly appears on lists of all-time greatest films, will show on Jan. 20. The 1942 film casts Bogart in his first romantic lead, opposite Ingrid Bergman. Bogart is Rick Blaine, an American living in Casablanca and walking a thin line between the Nazis, the Vichy government and the resistance. A man with a mysterious past, Blaine must ultimately decide between his love for a woman and supporting the resistance movement against the Nazis. The film won the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director (Michael Curtiz), and Bogart was nominated for Best Actor. The film also features Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Dooley Wilson, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre.
