On Wednesday, March 21, Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies presents the classic World War II romance Casablanca in select theaters -- locally at many Cinemark and Century Theatres locations -- at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. The special one-day-only event is a lead-up to the 70th anniversary release of a re-mastered Casablanca on Blu-ray.

The film will be featured for two showtimes daily at the Megaplex Theatres Jordan Commons in Sandy beginning Friday, March 23.
