Repertory Series
Sponsored in Memory of Peggy Yntema
Epstein Brothers Centennial   

Twin brothers Julius and Philip Epstein were the screenwriters (either together or apart) on dozens of Hollywood classics – including the Brattle’s #1 favorite movie CASABLANCA – and we’re thrilled to celebrate their 100th birthday with this short tribute. Ranging from the romantic drama of MR. SKEFFINGTON, to the intrigue of wartime CASABLANCA, to the screwball comedies of THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER and ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, the films in this series touch on the Epsteins’ strength in all genres. Don’t miss these delightful films!

(1942) dir Michael Curtiz, w/Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman [102 min]
The Epstein Brothers’ crowning achievement, this is one of those films where everything just works… and the script is one of the things that works the best. Chock-full of classic lines, CASABLANCA features Bogie and Bergman as star-crossed former (and future?) lovers who cross paths again in Nazi-occupied French Morocco. A staple of Brattle programming from the very beginning, CASABLANCA is a timeless movie that can be enjoyed again and again – and it’s an extra special treat on the big screen!
