Format:DVD
Why do so many people rank this film as one of their perennial favourites? There's hardly been another movie as smooth, witty, smart, or beautiful as Casablanca. Ingrid Bergman is just lovely in her first major movie - the camera smartly lingers on her at any opportunity. Bogart is as rough and as tender as the 1940s-era movie heroes come, and the sly Claude Rains steals every scene he's in. Even the soft, curling cigarette smoke seems to be an actor in the cast. Add to that many famously quotable lines, a stellar supporting cast, and the tragic background of lost love among the ruins of World War II, and you're in for a real treat.

Format:HD DVD
The picture quality for a movie of this age is beyond expectations. Warner Brothers did an amazing job with the remastering process on this film.
This is my favourite movie of all time. I have it on VHS and DVD. This HD DVD was an easy buy, and I was quite impressed with the upgrade in the picture quality. Very well done WB!!!!

First, it would appear that ordering the lowly DVD as opposed to the fancy BluRay does not entitle you to any fancy packaging.
As a stand alone product this is a good way to learn the background of the actors, the way the film was made, and the subtle features you may not have known about the cast, e.g. the majority of the cast had fled Europe as the darkness of war rolled over the continent.
Another bonus, is the total film review by Roger Ebert, scene by scene, in his voice which was made some time ago. Ebert, an excellent film reviewer has since lost his physical voice to cancer and it's good to hear him again.
The price is fair, but the packaging left a lot to be desired as an "Anniversary" piece.
Regardless, Casablanca can still bring a tear to a patriots' or lovers' eye!

No Better Love Story
Bogart and Bacal! No better couple who made many movies but this is the very best. War time drama and romance that no one could forget. We needed many more by them. Read more

A great old turkey
Apart from some of the dialogue, such as the "hill of beans" speech, this was fun to watch. As history, it's okay, too. Read more

Casablanca: A beautiful gift to us all!
Two of the stars didn't want to be in the movie, and no one knew how the picture would end until they shot the final scene. Read more
