Hollywood Golden Age of Cinema @HGACinema - One of the greatest films of all time, CASABLANCA, premiered at the Hollywood Theatre in New York City on this day, 26th November 1942, to capitalise on Operation Torch (the Allied invasion of French North Africa) and the capture of Casablanca.
It went into general release on 23rd January 1943, to take advantage of the Casablanca Conference, a high-level meeting in the city between Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Office of War Information prevented screening of the film to troops in North Africa, believing it would cause resentment among Vichy supporters in the region.
