See 'Casablanca' on film one last time

June 27, 2014 12:00 am • Last Updated: June 26, 2014 4:49 pm

Here's looking at you, 35mm film! As Olde Mistick Village Art Cinemas gets ready to move from 35mm prints to digital technology, it's marking the occasion with a special screening. It is bringing in the great "Casablanca" - meaning it will be the last chance to see the 1942 classic on 35mm here. In honor of the occasion and in keeping with the idea of movie prices back in the 1940s, the cinema will make the tickets to see "Casablanca" just $1. Show times starting today are 2, 4 and 7:20 p.m., with an additional 9:10 p.m. screening tonight and Saturday. All movie theaters, by the way, are having to go digital because studios will no longer be making 35mm prints.
