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" is a treasure. It's one of those rare films that you can't see too often. Each viewing bring a further appreciation of it. It is Bogart at his best, Bergman at her most sublime and a cast of character actors with a personal, emotional attachment to the theme of the movie. It's no surprise that it has become one of the cinema's most beloved films. Its history is as fascinating as the film itself and the added features enrich a person's appreciation of the accomplishment of the film. The creative folk who make the film are every bit as interesting as the film they created.

This is a great movie, maybe the best ever made. The blu-ray makes the film gorgeous to watch. And the extra DVD material is pretty cool. The packaging is over the top, and the passport case is dumb, frankly, which makes this more expensive than it needed to be. It is also why I rated this as only 4 stars. Just give me the film. Leave the extra junk out.

A nice additional to your video library. The bonus disc is nice but nothing overly special. The print of the film is fantastic. I have watched this disc a couple of times all ready and this film holds up over time. Although Citizen Kane is still my favorite movie of all time this one rates as the best romantic film. Buy this film in any packaging the second disc isn't mandatory but it's nice.

First, let's go with the performances of some of the leading
characters, and let me start by stating that most of the
characterizations of the acting abilities of the actors in this film,
by critics, are often quite wrongheaded. Let us start with the three
top billed actors, Humphrey Bogart as club owner Rick Blaine, Ingrid
Bergman as his ex-lover Ilsa Lund, and Paul Henreid as Ilsa's husband,
the Czechoslovakian Nazi Resistance outlaw, Victor Laszlo. Virtually
all critiques of this trio leave Henreid as the odd man out, mainly
because the film focuses on the love angle between Rick and Ilsa. But,
from a purely technical standpoint, Henreid gives, by far, the best
acting performance of the trio (and, it's not even close). Because it
is the most restrained and understated, however, it usually gets
dismissed as stiff acting, rather than good acting of an intentionally
stiff character....one need only look at the cheesy scene in the bar, where Victor hears the Nazis singing their song, Die Wacht Am Rhein, and dares to get the band to play La Marseillaise, then look in Victor's eyes, to see that, far from what critics claim, Victor is a man of great passion and principles from the get go, and this break from his usual restraint gains in power
precisely because it is a break, but one that seems wholly natural for
a man who has been frustrated for the bulk of his scenes in the film,
and then ... Read More
