Valentine's Day is about L-O-V-E, and tonight, the Cinefamily offers up a romantic doubleheader to stoke that tender feeling. First up are Wendy Clarke's favorite Love Tapes: compiled by the artist since 1979, these heartfelt, three-minute videos feature people musing on love over handpicked background music and are vicariously cathartic. Next up: Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as erstwhile lovers in the for-all-time wartime romance, Casablanca. When a luminous Bergman asks Sam to play it again, and weary Bogie hears it, the flashback intrigue sustains us until the bittersweet, breathtaking finish.
