- Summary:
- This volume contains fourteen essays from pop culture scholars and film critics, along with introductory essays on the film Casablanca, its director Michael Curtiz; and such resource as a bibliography, director's chronology/filmography, cast list, and awards and honors. The essays add to the critical "conversation" from different angles; collectively explaining why Casablanca is so highly regarded-still, or despite its flaws-and why it will likely remain so.
