 Casablanca review May 31, 2010
MIMI (Overland Park, KS)
What can I say that hasn't been mentioned many times previously? This is obviously a classic in every sense of the word. The only plot item I find difficult to believe is Ingrid Bergman's character falling for someone else so soon after hearing that her husband has been killed. Other than this the movie is great. The Blu-ray transfer is fantastic - it probably looks better on a modern video system than it did in most theaters when first shown in the 1940s. While I'm not quite old enough to have seen (or appreciated) this movie when it was in original release, it certainly wears its age well.
A Triumph of the Hollywood Studio System May 24, 2010

The Hollywood studio system has been much maligned. Stanley Kubrick moved to England to evade it and Robert Altman totally ignored it. But as Roger Ebert points out in his excellent commentary, Casablanca shows what that system could accomplish. Warner Brothers was cranking out a new film every week in 1941. Casablanca was filmed on a Hollywood back lot, but the presence of so many Europeans in Hollywood fleeing the Nazis who appear in Casablanca makes the film look like it was filmed in North Africa.
Michael Curtiz was the director of the film, but Ebert points out that the producer Hal B. Wallis was responsible for the final product. Script revisions came out daily. Ingrid Bergman was unable to shoot new scenes because her hair had been cut for her next Warner Brothers film.
Somehow Wallis and his team came up with a masterpiece.

One of the greatest American movies of all time, with a beautifully restored print, an interesting commentary track by Roger Ebert, some "deleted scenes" and other little extras -- all worth having in the highest quality possible. And when the successor to Blu-Ray comes around (and you KNOW it's coming), you should buy this movie in that format as well, so that it never goes away, even as time goes by.

We have the standard DVD version but wished to try the blu-ray format. Being black and white, we thought the improvements over the previous version would be minimal. Not so! Differences are remarkable. One can see details in the artists' dresses, for example, that are entirely missed in the DVD version. Strongly recommended, especially for Casablanca fans like us who never miss a chance to seeing it again!

This is a great film no matter the format. You should have this film if you like older films, especially a classic Bogart film like this, and Ingrid is a beautiful as ever. We ordered the bluray version when we forgot we already had the regular dvd version. Anyway, the bluray version is good quality but I do not think it is noticeably better than the regular dvd version, so I don't recommend getting the bluray-that's why the 4 stars.
