Directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, this romantic drama is still hailed for its all-star cast, exceptional screenwriting, and memorable soundtrack, and continues to be ranked as one of the greatest motion pictures ever made. This inaugural volume in the Critical Insights Film series contains insightful essays analyzing the reasons for this film classic acclaim, as well as its influences on the film industry as we know it today. Essays are 2,500 to 5,000 words in length and offer analyses of Casablanca based on cultural and historical contexts, close viewings from particular critical standpoints (from traditional to postmodern), comparisons in the light of other films, and critical receptions over time. All essays are written by renowned film scholars of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, providing in-depth, academic coverage of all key issues and interpretations. -- Publisher (Salem Press - http://www.salempress.com/press_titles.html?book=443). 630 00 $a Casablanca (Motion picture) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80079669 650 0 $a Romance films $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Film criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85088039 630 07 $a Casablanca (Motion picture) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01358178 650 7 $a Film criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00924259 650 7 $a Romance films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01747951 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 700 1 $a Plath, James, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n93118129 830 0 $a Critical insights. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2009184323 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180119053102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE72C2F2FCE711E799AF106097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
