Sequence 1
4 Before watching:
Read the following passage from the review of the film Casablanca and an-
swer the questions:
Casablanca was first shown in November 1942, a few days after Allied forces
had landed in Morocco to liberate the city from the Nazis. For its fiftieth an-
niversary, the film was shown once again in main cinemas in London and
New York, and in the intervening years it has never lost its popularity. How
has this film become probably the best-loved of all motion pictures? The
question has been asked many times.
• When did Allied forces land in Morocco to liberate the city from the Nazis?
• The film lost its popularity and never regained it, did it?
• Think of definition /synonyms for the italicized words.

NARRATOR
With the coming of the Second World
War, many eyes in imprisoned Europe
turned hopefully, or desperately,
toward the freedom of the Americas.
Lisbon became the great embarkation
point. But not everybody could get
to Lisbon directly, and so, a tortuous,
roundabout refugee trail sprang up.
Paris to Marseilles, across the
Mediterranean to Oran, then by train,
or auto, or foot, across the rim of
Africa to Casablanca in French Morocco.
Here, the fortunate ones, through money,
or influence, or luck, might obtain
exit visas and scurry to Lisbon, and
from Lisbon to the New World. But
the others wait in Casablanca – and
wait – and wait – and wait.
