Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
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

Rating:  - Best Movie of the 20th Century?
The picture quality of this release of Casablanca is amazing. It is clearly the best quality ever made available to the public. (I'm anxious to read reviews of the new Blu-Ray release to learn whether there is any meaningful improvement over this fantastic version.)
Many believe "Casablanca" was the greatest movie of the 20th century. Its ending is perhaps the most moving of any movie. In the course of the film, the cynical, self-interest hero (Rick) gradually develops to a point where ... Read More

With the new Blu-Ray versions of old classics, it may be time for Amazon to rethink how it publishes their reviews, normally one of the things I like most about their store!
When I heard Casablanca was coming out in Blu-Ray, my first thought was, "I wonder if Blu-Ray has anything to offer to an old Black and White film, or is it just a marketing ploy?"
So, I go to Amazon, look up the BLU-RAY VERSION of Casablanca, and find 536 reviews telling me that Casablanca is one of the best movies of ... Read More

Fast ship. No problems with the shipping, but I guess I need to make sure the next time I order, that when I correct the number (total) from 2 to 1, that the web site corrects it too. Didn't need two of this item, but I paid for them, and accepted the order, even though I had changed it to say only 1, not two. I'll never make that mistake again. After editing, we must all make sure it really edits the number.
Rating: - Casablanca- A Movie that Everyone MUST Watch
Casablanca is perhaps considered one of the best well-done and most-respected movies of all time. Before I even watched the film, I knew that I would love it from start to finish. So if you are sitting at home wondering what movie to watch, I recommend Casablanca because you will not be disappointed. Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart both do an amazing job in this film. Also this Academy Award winner for Best Picture clearly deserves a round of applause. Perfect film for families, couples, or anyone who ... Read More
Rating:  - Casablanca
Casablanca is generally considered to be on of the greatest films of all time. After watching it i can certainly some evidence for it but i'm not sure if i would necessarily hold it in that high regard.
I think a large part of my opinions of this movie come from the fact that it is an older movie and many movies have been influenced directly from it. Watching in today, much of the story, particularly the romance, seemed comical simply because i had seen it used so often. Admittedly, before i ... Read More
