Lorre Classic in Australian Cinema

The historic Astor Theatre, located in the St. Kilda area of Melbourne, Australia, will show Casablanca (1942) on Sunday, June 18, 2023.

Casablanca will be shown at 4:30 pm.

Tickets are $19.50 for adults, $18 for Concessions, and $17 for members of the Palace Movie Club. Tickets may be purchased at the Astor box-office, which opens between 1 hour and 30 minutes before the start of the first program of the day. Tickets may also be purchased online through the Astor website. A nominal booking fee will be added to each ticket purchased online.

The Astor Theatre is located at the corner of Chapel Street and Dandenong Road in St. Kilda. Parking is available along Chapel Street. A parking lot is also available off Chapel Street. The Astor is also well-served by public transportation, including trams and trains. More information about parking is available on the Astor’s website.

Opening in 1936, the Astor Theatre is the last single-screen cinema in Melbourne, Australia. With its golden curtains parting to reveal the screen before the movie begins, its stalls and dress circle, Lorre fans entering the Astor can step back in time to enjoy an evening at the cinema as moviegoers would have experienced it when Peter’s movies – and Casablanca – were originally shown.

Happy viewing!
