Michal Curtiz (1942)

Critical score 9/10

The film was set during WW2 and portrayed the struggles of people on the hunt for a better and safer life, it was refreshing to see a wartime piece that wasn’t centred around the view of the Germans or British. The movie also had a strong element of romance which was executed very well.

Stand out scene:

The stand out scene for me is when Ilsa and Rick see each other again, it is a key moment in the film and highlights the feelings of love and longing returning between Rick and Ilsa, the audience can tell they know each other without them saying it.
