As part of the 70th birthday celebration for ‘Casablanca,’ Warner Bros. Digital Distribution will sponsor a free screening of the Oscar-winning World War II melodrama on the movie’s Facebook page on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times.

One must begin watching the film before 9 p.m. Pacific time and only one screening per Facebook account is allowed.

Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid and Claude Rains star in the classic that features such beloved lines as ‘Here’s looking at you kid’ and that made a memorable hit of the 1931 tune ‘As Time Goes By.’ Besides the best film Oscar, ‘Casablanca’ also won Academy Awards for director Michael Curtiz and screenwriters Julius J. Epstein, Philip G. Epstein and Howard Koch.
