Product description

Product Description

Classic war-time drama which has been mis-quoted for decades. During World War II former lovers Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) and Ilse (Ingrid Bergman) are reunited by chance in Casablanca, where he runs a nightclub and she, with her husband (Paul Henreid), is working for the French Resistance. Recriminations, rekindled desires and patriotic duty battle for primacy as Ilse's husband tries to outwit the local Nazis and escape from Morocco, whilst Rick and Ilse re-kindle their love and decide to run away together...

From Amazon.co.uk

This generously filled two-disc special edition presentation of Casablanca features the film itself in an impressively clean new digital transfer on the first disc, with hiss-free mono sound. It's prefaced by a rather pointless introduction from Lauren Bacall (it would surely be churlish to point out that Casablanca was made two years before Bacall met Bogart) and accompanied by two full-length and fact-packed audio commentaries, one from film critic Roger Ebert, who hardly pauses to take a breath, and the other from film historian Rudy Behlmer, who provides in-depth background detail.

The second disc features a plentiful collection of sundry archival features and more from Bacall, who hosts the two documentaries: You Must Remember This: The Making of Casablanca and a retrospective of Bogie's career, Bacall on Bogart. Of minor interest are two very short deleted scenes--Laszlo and Rick at the jail, and a German officer's pratfall--which in lieu of any surviving audio track have been subtitled from the original script; there's also five minutes of silent outtakes. An audio-only sample of Max Steiner's music-scoring sessions features Dooley Wilson singing "Knock on Wood" and "As Time Goes By". There are brief reminiscences from Stephen Bogart and Pia Lindstrom (son and daughter of Bogie and Ingrid Bergman, respectively); Bugs Bunny and pals in Carrotblanca; a curious 1955 Warner Bros TV version of the movie; audio excerpts from the "Screen Guild Players Radio Production" featuring the principal cast; plus the usual static galleries and other trivia. All in all, it's a valuable two-disc set that really does provide everything you always wanted to know about one of the most famous movies ever made. --Mark Walker --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

My two DVD 2003 Special Edition has a remastered print that is beautifully steady and clean, a superb rendition of the classic film we all know and are happy to watch time and again. The subtle interaction between all the cast coupled with the excellent direction and attention to detail in the sets make this an outstanding flm, especially when compared with the more frantic modern films. One would never realise that the film was shot almost on an ad-hoc basis with the cast often not knowing what they would be doing from one day to the next.
Of course it is only 4:3 B&W and has mono sound, and the Az blurb is to the point.

Disc one has two commentaries, one by film critic Roger Ebert, the other by film historian Rudy Behlmer, plus an introduction to the film by Lauren Bacall. It is split into 32 scenes which can be accessed from the menus.

The normal menus on Disc 2 give us some scenes that had been cut from the film, various bits of production data, a collection of musical out-takes by Dooley Wilson, and two more features; the brilliant spoof by Bugs Bunny and his usual cronies 'Carrotblanca', and the 21 scene feature 'Bacall on Bogart'. Disc two also has enhanced content that can be used with a PC.

BRILLIANT FILM - we used it with the Lent Study guide "A Beautiful Friendship" by Paul Kerensa and Zoe Young. Many of us knew lines from the film but we didn't realise it was actually filmed and released BEFORE the end of the war when no one knew what the outcome of WW2 would be. Watching a film where the actors and audiences of the time were living with such uncertainty, and at least one of the actors involved had members of his family perish in concentration camps, makes it a challenging and poignant film. It deals with the problems of people in refugee situations through no fault of their own so very topical too. In spite of these tensions, It is a film woven through with humour and some wonderful set pieces. Highly recommend it.

Regarded now as a classic and regularly appearing at the top end of "best movies ever made" lists. Interestingly, Casablanca was not regarded as anything special on its release; just another "studio picture". Over Time, however, it has taken on iconic status. It just oozes style and class. Everyone has seen it, everyone can quote lines from it, yet its magic lies in the fact that you can watch time and time again. A must have for any collection.......Here's looking at you, kid.

Casablanca is all about a ticket to freedom. A plane ticket authorising you to leave. The partner you left behind long ago is ready to leave. Another man.

But this review concerns the quality of the blu ray. On a plasma screen it is absolutely immaculate. On 100' projection it is just about perfect. The slightest of slight hint of grain particularly on indoor scenes. Outdoor scenes are invariably immaculate. As good a monochrome picture as you are likely to experience.

The audio comes through as DTS but is in fact still mono as you would expect. There are ten subtitle options, including English should you wish to see those glorious lines of dialogue. So many classics.

My 70th Anniversary Edition does not actually state anywhere on the box that it is so. It does state that it is a 'new 4K resolution scan' which I assume amounts to the same thing. I can't see any Region information on the box or the disc but it played fine on my UK player.

Of all the Options the 'Warner Night at the Movies' looks interesting. I could watch all the shorts and stuff that were typical of the build-up to seeing Casablanca once you had sat down in the cinema in the 1940s.

It had me leaning forward in my seat. Powerful movie making.

One of the best films ever made. Casablanca is just pure class and I can see why this film won three Oscars back in 1944, including best film. I know Humphry Bogart and Ingrid Bergman where brilliant, but my hat goes off to Claude Rains(wolf man) who was a brilliant actor. This Blu-ray comes with loads of features and the picture quality is very nice. This is a must buy if you love this film.

Not 'the beginning of a beautiful friendship' - but the continuation, At £17 plus I was concerned about the price. But no longer. Simply stunning and I mean stunning (the 70th anniversary edition) . I will watch again and again. This is what blu ray is for, the classics re-mastered. Forget the newer films; bish, bang, bosh and largely forgettable. Not this film. Buy & enjoy, Again and again. Worth every penny
