Editorial Review:
Considered by many to be the greatest Hollywood movie ever made, this WW2 classic takes place in war-torn Casablanca and tells the tale of mysterious nightclub owner Bogart and his old Flame (Bergman), her husband, underground leader (Heinreid), and other skeletons from his past. Won 3 Oscars - Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay.
Description of Casablanca (Two-Disc Special Edition):
A truly perfect movie, the 1942 Casablanca still wowsviewers 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 (Two-Disc Special Edition) Reviews:
For classic movie lovers best version 
2009-11-09 - This item was really great with all the additional options and I gave it to my sister for a birthday present. I wish I got a copy of it for myself when I opened it and I told her so. That made her want it even more, well what can you do it was a great present for a movie but and I would recommend it to anyone who like old movies with snappy dialog. It is a very clever move.
AGREE-NOTHING SPECIAL 
2009-11-04 - As a Casablanca fan, I wanted the best DVD version possible. I consequently ordered the Blu-ray version expecting a substantially improved version as compared to earlier releases. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The Blu-ray version is not noticeably better than the earlier versions. For someone who has an earlier version, I seriously question whether it is worth spending the money on the Blu-ray version. For someone who does not have an earlier version, it is a judgment call as to whether is worth getting the additional materials.
A must-have for the film collector
2009-11-02 - The Casablanca Ultimate Collector's Edition is something that anyone who enjoys classic cinema must have as a part of their collection. The quality of the Blu-ray DVD is outstanding, but it is the other parts of the collection that truly make this package an outstanding value. I am so glad that I made it a part of my collection.
Great!
2009-10-26 - If you enjoy Bogart films, then you will love this, it is the 4th Bogart film I have seen & I truly enjoyed it. Buy it on blu-ray as the audio is pretty bad on DVD, mind you though I don't know if the Blu-ray is better. It helps if your home theater receiver has a mono film track setting.
I would watch this over Citizen Kane any day
2009-10-23 - Casablanca came out one year later and of course the subject matter is entirely different. But for a classic of American cinema, I think this is eminently more watchable.
All-time great is presented well in the Two-Disc Special Edition: two full commentaries plus an entire disc full of extras.
Clean transfer, great character actors, timeless story. PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM!
