Like many people, Casablanca is my favorite movie, but the story behind the film has just as much intrigue and suspense as the movie itself. The Hungarian film Curtiz (in English and available on Netflix) highlights the director Michael Curtiz and his struggle to get the movie made, and made correctly, while wresting his career and family from the grips of hyper-Americanism at home and fascism overseas. My 100 word review is now over at the fantastic film and literary website Drunk Monkeys, and you’ll find a few more of my reviews there too, mostly focusing on film noir. I hope you enjoy the review, and the film as well. Thanks!
