Roman Holiday (1953)/Casablanca (1942): Classic classics

Meet in the balcony around 3:10 PM to enjoy two of Hollywood's most classic classics on the big screen and with a big audience -- as they were meant to be seen!

Roman Holiday (1953) (Show Time: 3:25 PM)

Director: William Wyler

Starring: Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, Eddie Albert

Plot: When an innocent, young princess from an unnamed, European country goes on the lam from her embassy minders, she enjoys a blissful 24-hours in the Eternal City in the company of a dodgy, American journalist and his photographer buddy. But Cinderella had a curfew, too...

Then, it's Hollywood's greatest studio film! Ever.

Casablanca (1942) (Show Time: 5:35 PM)

Director: Michael Curtiz

Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt

Plot: On the brink of the American entry into WWII, a cynical, embittered saloon keeper sees his plans to sit out the war in French N. Africa go up in cigarette smoke, when the woman who shattered his heart 18 months earlier walks into his gin joint -- with her heroic, resistance fighter husband in tow...

If you'd like to go for dinner and a chat after Casablanca, gather on the balcony landing after the movie.
