Casablanca at Appalachian Theatre of the High Country, Boone NC The Appalachian Theatre will host an in person screening of “Casablanca,” where audiences will hear Humphrey Bogart say the iconic line, "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." Academy Award winners Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman light up the screen in one of the most enduring romances in movie history. Set during World War II in Vichy-controlled Casablanca, nightclub owner Rick Blaine must choose between a life with the woman he loves and becoming the hero that both she and the world need. This 1942 American romantic drama film was directed by Michael Curtiz, and starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid. It focuses on an American expatriate (Bogart) who must choose between his love for a woman (Bergman) or helping her and her husband (Henreid), a Czech resistance leader, escape from the Vichy-controlled city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Germans. The supporting cast features Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Dooley Wilson. Casablanca went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Its reputation has gradually grown, to the point that its lead characters, memorable lines, and pervasive theme song have all become iconic, and it consistently ranks near the top of lists of the greatest films in history. In 1989, the United States Library of Congress selected the film as one of the first for preservation in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Tickets to the in person screening of “Casablanca” are $12 for adults and $6 for children ages 12 and under and are available online as part of the theatre’s touchless ticketing program online. Seating capacity in the theatre is reduced with reserved seating. Everyone, regardless of age,
