Casablanca - winner of Best
Picture, Best Director (Michael Curtiz) and Best Screenplay (Julius and Philip
Epstein and Howard Koch) Oscars and possibly the film from Hollywood’s golden
era that has aged better than any other “as time goes by” - turns 75 this year.
Casablanca was honored at the 8th
annual TCM Classic Film Festival in April with a screening on the final night
of the event at the TCL Chinese Theatre, that opulent icon of glamorous days
gone by that is just now celebrating its 90th year.

Underseen & Underrated: "Unfaithfully Yours" (1948), from the Madcap Mind of Preston Sturges
Preston
Sturges’s final remarkable comedy, the deliriously dark Unfaithfully Yours (1948), screened twice at this year’s TCM
Classic Film Festival, on April 7 and on April 9, the last day of the annual event. That it screened a second time
speaks to the impact of this lesser known Struges jewel the first time it was
shown; many of the screening slots on the festival’s final day are held open
for repeat showings of “smaller” films that proved to be especially popular on
their first run.
