A cornerstone of classic Hollywood and one of the most quoted, most beloved films ever made, Casablanca’s reputation only deepened with time—making Japanese re-release posters from the 1970s especially desirable as artifacts of how the film was reintroduced to postwar audiences as a prestige “must-see” masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"719\" data-end=\"1168\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"719\" data-end=\"738\"\u003eFilm background\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"738\" data-end=\"741\"\u003eSet in Vichy-controlled Morocco during World War II, Casablanca follows expatriate nightclub owner Rick Blaine as his past collides with history: Ilsa Lund arrives with resistance leader Victor Laszlo, and Rick must choose between personal love and moral responsibility.
