The Digiplex Destinations, a new and innovative chain of digital cinema theaters, has announced the "Casablanca 70th Anniversary Event." The one-time-only two-hour showing is designed for fans of the classic 1942 Humphrey Bogart-Ingrid Bergman film and takes place on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 7 p.m., at Digiplex theaters in New Jersey and Connecticut.
The presentation will begin with Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne taking audiences behind the scenes of this epic love story in a special original production showcasing stories from those who were on the set, as well as those who simply admire the film. This beautiful and timeless classic will then be shown on the silver screen, with full digital projection and sound. Tickets are $12.50.
Casablanca is a classic tale of unrequited love and is a project that defined the "golden age" of Hollywood and allowed audiences to fall in love with cinema all over again. This event will be the only opportunity to see this stunning digital presentation grace the silver screen.

"Casablanca is one of the most important movies ever made by Hollywood," said A. Dale "Bud" Mayo, Digiplex Destinations chairman/CEO. "When we project it digitally on the big screen, our customers will enjoy it as it was meant to be seen, although with much better sound and a better picture than our parents or grandparents could have ever imagined.
"For Digiplex, uniting classic movies with high definition digital projection and sound was the beginning of a beautiful romance."
