Editorial Review:
A truly perfect movie, the 1942 Casablanca still wows viewers today, and for good reason. Its unique story of a love triangle set against terribly high stakes in the war against a monster is sophisticated instead of outlandish, intriguing instead of garish. Humphrey Bogart plays the allegedly apolitical club owner in unoccupied French territory that is nevertheless crawling with Nazis; Ingrid Bergman is the lover who mysteriously deserted him in Paris; and Paul Heinreid is her heroic, slightly bewildered husband. Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Conrad Veidt are among what may be the best supporting cast in the history of Hollywood films. This is certainly among the most spirited and ennobling movies ever made. --Tom Keogh

Casablanca: easy to enter but much harder to leave especially if you're wanted by the Nazis. Such a man is Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) whose only hope is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) a cynical American who sticks his neck out for no one especially Victor's wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) the ex-lover who broke his heart. Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Laszlo's transport out of the country and bitter Rick must decide what counts more - personal happiness or countless lives hanging in the balance.Running Time: 102 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/LOVE & ROMANCE UPC: 012569797710 Manufacturer No: 1000018994

Rating:  - If you don't like this movie go see "Dumb & Dumberer"- you'll like it
You are a complete tool if you did not like this film. I read Julia S.'s one-star review about how the characters don't have chemistry. Hmm, well, if I'm guessing correctly chemistry to you means John Travolta and Barry Pepper in "Battlefield Earth", right? Not a chance by the way. This film is Bogey at his best, a landmark achievement to say the least. And on HD-DVD? A must-own needs to be purchased again folks.
Rating: - You must remember this ...
Aaaahhh ... Bogey. AFI's No. 1 film star of the 20th century. Hollywood's original noir anti-hero, epitome of the handsome, cynical and oh-so lonesome wolf (with "Casablanca"'s Rick Blaine alone, one of the Top 5 guys on the AFI's list of greatest 20th century film heroes); looking unbeatably cool in white dinner jacket or trenchcoat and fedora alike, a glass of whiskey in his hand and a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. Endowed with a legendary aura several times larger than his real ... Read More
Rating:  - Blu-ray edition mostly paper media and fancy packaging
The Blu-ray edition of Casablanca will be wonderful if you enjoy lots of postcards, booklets, and a fancy box. If, however, you're main interest is in the film itself, you won't be disappointed but neither will you be blown away by BR's enhancements.
The resolution isn't measurably better than a 2006 HD release -- after all there is only so much that can be done with a film made in 1942! But the clarity of picture and sound are worth the hefty price, especially for collectors or people who ... Read More
Rating: - The Movie Guy
Casablanca is undoubtedly one of the greatest films of all time. It is simply a fantastic movie. It holds many prestigious ranks among critics and movie goers. It was awarded the position of number 3 as the greatest movie of all time for the American Film Institute. It is on the top 250 on IMDB.com, it also won the academy award for best picture and probably on the favorite list of anyone who knows what a real movie is. It is the true benchmark film for all love stories with an all star cast. It's about ... Read More
Rating: - New Ultimate edition for collectors (and gift-givers) coming out for Christmas
Possibly the most popular film around, 1942's Casablanca pairs two iconic actors, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, in a story of lost love and reluctant heroism. Warner Brothers put out an excellent 2-disc Special Edition in 2003. (That older set is going to receive new artwork on December 2nd, but it will otherwise be the same.) This new 2-disc Ultimate Collector's Blu-ray Edition includes the features from the 2003 set and adds a documentary about studio head Jack Warner, along with a bunch of memorabilia. ... Read More
