Casablanca (1975r)

Original b&w publicity still #C-72 from Casablanca.

Underscoring the film’s enduring stature as one of Hollywood’s most celebrated classics. Reissued in the mid-1970s, such stills renewed appreciation for Casablanca as a cultural landmark, continually rediscovered for its blend of romance, political conscience, and moral ambiguity set against the uncertainties of World War II.
 
The image presents Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) standing beneath the glowing sign of Rick’s Café Américain, framed by the heavy doors at its entrance. Alone and immaculately dressed in his white dinner jacket, Rick appears both host and gatekeeper, a man at the centre of chaos who remains emotionally distant. The composition emphasises control and isolation, visually defining Rick before love and conscience begin to challenge his carefully maintained detachment.
