Casablanca
Casablanca: easy to enter, but much harder to leave, exceptionally 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, specially Victor’s wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the ex-lover who broke his heart. Ilsa offers herself in interchange for Laszlo’s transport out of the country and bitter Rick must determine what counts more – personal pleasure or innumerable lives hanging in the balance.
A genuinely perfective movie, the 1942 Casablanca still wows viewers today, and for good reason. Its distinctive story of a love triangle set versus terribly high stakes in the war versus a monster is sophisticated rather of outlandish, intriguing rather of garish. Humphrey Bogart plays the allegedly apolitical club proprietor in unoccupied French territory that is nonetheless crawling with Nazis; Ingrid Bergman is the lover who mysteriously deserted him in Paris; and Paul Heinreid is her heroic, somewhat bewildered husband. Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Conrad Veidt are amidst what may be the best supporting cast in the history of Hollywood films. This is surely amidst the most spirited and ennobling movies ever made. –Tom Keogh

 “You will have to do not forget this”….
By W. M. Robbins
It’s hard to believe that when Casablanca was filmed at Warner Bros. Studios in 1942 it was “just another” of the 50 or so films that the studio was devising each year, as Lauren Bacall points out in the documentary regarding the film included in the special features. The movie was an instant success with audiences everywhere, and won three Academy Awards including Best Picture. Called “America’s most ordinary and beloved movie- and justly so” by The Motion Picture Guide, and “The best Hollywood movie of all time” by Leonard Maltin, Casablanca was voted the #2 film in a list of the top 100 films of this century by the American Film Institute.
Set in refugee strewn French North Africa in 1942, Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a night club owner, and his friend Captain Louis Renault (Claude Rains), Prefect of Police, enter into a wager as to whether or not Resistance Leader Victor Laslo (Paul Henreid) will be competent to escape Casablanca and reach the Free World. When Laslo arrives in Casablanca, Rick is stunned to find him accompanied by his ex-lover, Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman). Filled with mystery, suspense, intrigue and romance, Casablanca will stay a favored of classic movie lovers for years to come.
The supporting cast include Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre and Dooley Wilson as Rick’s piano playing confidant, Sam. The entire cast are superb, the settings are excellent, and the cinematogrophy is wonderful.
The song “As Time Goes By” was made widely known and esteemed by Casablanca, as it’s melody is entwined all around the film, and it too is now a classic, filled with romance and nostalgia.
This is one film that utterly MUST be in your DVD library!

Casablanca HD DVD technical quality
By HD DVD fan
I agree that any review of an HD DVD disk ought to include an opinion as to it is technical quality, if possible comparing it to the regular DVD release. For the Casablanca HD DVD, I found the following sentiment in the online magazine Perfect Vision, a high end technologically oriented magazine: “Casablanca is the film to see as the black-and-white showcase of hi-def. The setting of Morocco and Rick’s Café Americain jump from the screen in breathtaking crystal clarity.”

 Special Edition? Nothing Special
By A
I was likewise peeved by the lack of details with regards to this “Collector’s Set”, so I went hunting.
Bottom line: Unles you want lobby cards, 8X10 stills, and a few other “collectables”, save your money. The DVD itself in the “Collector’s Set” appears to be identical to the DVD in the firstborn release. Based on other vendors’ sites, here’s what you get for the extra money:
- Lobby Cards: 8 Original fixed edition lobby card prints.
- Senitype: Exclusive fixed edition senitype® effigy from movie with 35mm film frame.
- Theatrical Poster: Original one sheet movie poster (27 x 40 ).
- Exclusive Collection: 6 Original Limited Edition B & W Photograph Stills.
Information in regards to the DVD in the “Collector’s Set” is:
DVD CONTAINS:
- Digitally restored effigy and cleaned soundtrack.
- Theatrical trailers.
- YOU MUST REMEBER THIS, a 36-minute documentary newly altered with lately discovered, unseen outakes and screen tests.
- Special introduction by screen legend Lauren Bacall, wife of Humphrey Bogart.
I didn’t see any new DVD features on any site.
This is one of the biggest films ever made, but the “extras” aren’t worth the extra $… to me. I’ll gladly take the introductory release, which will have to be in everyone’s DVD library!!
