At the Vancouver International Film Center on Tuesday, February 6, 2007, Dal Richards hosts a showing of his all-time favourite film, Casablanca, at the Centre's monthly Cinema Salon at the Vancity Theatre at 1181 Seymour Street at 7:30pm. “While almost everyone has seen this war-time classic on video there isn't a lot of opportunity to see it on the big screen — and it makes a world of difference to see it larger than life”, Dal explains. “I'm looking forward to sharing some of the stories from behind the scenes about the making of Casablanca…the intrigues involved in choosing the cast and the music for this award winning classic…and my all time favourite film.”

Tickets are $9.50 and are available in advance at www.vifc.org or at 604.685.0260
