Casablanca: easy to enter, but much harder to leave, especially if you're wanted by the Nazis. Such a man is Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), whose only hope is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a cynical American who sticks his neck out for no one, especially Victor's wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the ex-lover who broke his heart. Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Laszlo's transport out of the country and bitter Rick must decide what counts more - personal happiness or countless lives hanging in the balance. Review: Best “B” film ever made! - What can one say? Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, and Claude Rains all take on the Nazis in 1942, AND WIN! The Marseillaise c’est magnifique! Even if the US was allied with Napoleon when it was composed. Who cares? Death to the SS, (and in real life, too!). Review: Old School Atmosphere - What else can be said. If you want a review, google Siskel & Ebert. Who's who of the best character actors from the golden age of Hollywood. Then add Paul Henreid, Lauren Bacall, and Bogey at the top of their game and you have one of the best movies ever made. Tell the millennials to stop complaining that it is in black and white and just watch the movie. Appreciate the time when the film was made and what was going on in the world. Cheers. Off you go.

Best “B” film ever made!

Timeless Classic
This is a near perfect movie in my opinion. Characters are all very interesting, awesome plot and location. Great action and adventure in black and white with no special effects! At no point in the movie did I find myself not fully engaged. Truly a must see for anyone who truly loves great movies. I think it's Humphrey Bogart's finest work.

"Here's looking at you kid."
A classic has been reborn in blu-ray. I think there are more quotes of movie lines from Casablanca that any other movie in the history of cinema. ""Here's looking you kid." "Of all the gin joints in all the world she has to walk into mine." "Louie, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship." Don't have Casablanca in blu-ray. Order one from Amazon Prime today. What are you waiting for?

Great picture, quiet sounds. Over all, worth it.
The package came in great shape and the blue ray was sealed. There is no menu to begin, but goes straight into the movie, which is fine. I bought it for the movie anyway, and finding a good quality version of Casablanca is not always the easiest venture nowadays. It is not streaming legally on any platform, so I went ahead and bought the blue ray. The picture was crystal clear. The only problem I had was that of the sound—it was terribly quiet, so I had to put my television volume to 100%. However, once at 100%, the volume was perfect. After the movie plays, the blue ray brings you to a menu that includes behind the story functions including commentary, additional footage, trailers, etc. It’s worth the money, and probably the best you’re going to get when it comes to finding a nearly 80-year-old film in a modern format.

A Classic you Must See
This movie is a must for anyone building a classic film library. The young viewer will think it moves slowly, because today’s films flash scenes at the viewer. Sit back and watch real actors at their craft. No CGI, no flashing scenes, just art, pure art.

Casablanca in Blu-ray - Fabulous
This Blu-ray version of "Casablanca" of the 1942 film is excellent. The story of European Refugees in Casablanca, Morocco, is well known. Of course, you have the original "As Time Goes By." This Blu-ray disc show facial detail and highlights that I've never seen before. I own the film on VHS and DVD, they don't come close.

Tra i migliori film di tutti i tempi. Sceneggiatura perfetta, ambientazione realistica al massimo, splendida fotografia con un bianco e nero ricco di toni e sfumature, memorabile colonna sonora musicale, e un regista che ha amalgamato il tutto per creare un film perfetto. Straordinario tutto il cast con la Bergman, Bogart e Reins stellari. Dvd con eccellenti video e audio col doppiaggio italiano originale dell'epoca. In super cult assolutamente da non perdere.

It's a great story and they did a great job converting it to Blu Ray.

For the past 10 years or so I have made it my mission to collect and watch classic old movies. The more I watched, the more films I grew to love. And yet Casablanca was one I steered clear of for a while. I was sure I was going to get some sloppy, trite mushy love story. Boy was I wrong! Casablanca, like Citizen Kane and Gone with the Wind before it is reguarded as one of the greatest films ever made. And like those two, it is with good reason. Quite simply, it is my favourite film of all time. Let's reel off everything good about this film (this may take time so I hope you're sitting comfortably). The cast: Rick (Bogart) is synnical and yet warm and kind. He lets others go about their business however detestable and stands up for what he believes him. He sticks his neck out for nobody and yet helps his friends whenever he can. Why does he do this? Because, like the best heroes, he is flawed, but the good people in life, like Ilsa, Lazlo and Sam bring out the good in him. Claude Rains as the Police Captain is one of my favourite and one of the most versatile actors of all time. Even he has good in him and comes good before the film finishes. And let's not forget Peter Lorre as Umgati. Many scenes and lines are burned into cinema history: 'Vultures everywhere', 'Are my eyes really brown', 'I am a drunkard....'That makes him a citizen of the World', 'Maybe not today, mayeb not tomorrow but soon and for the rest of your life', 'this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship'. The settings are also a dream, if I could spend one day in a Hollywood movie, I would spend the evening in 'Rick's' listening to Sam. Why do I love this film so much? Because it can leave you seething with anger at the sight of the Nazi's taking over the bar, then have the hairs on the back of neck stand on end as the French respond with the National anthem, then frightened as the Captain brings the dream to an end with one blow of his whistle for discovering the backroom, then laughing out loud as his gambling winnings are handed to him - all in the space of a couple of minutes. Funny, moving, inspiring, romantic, exciting, devilish, it is one of a VERY SMALL number of films that really does have it all! p.s. Just to further dispel a rumour: 'Play it again Sam' just like 'Beam me up Scotty' is an urban myth, it is never spoken!

Sin subtítulo en español y sin menú principal, fuera de eso la calidad de imagen es buena y el estuche viene con un lindo protector
