I have to say that I've never watched this film in full until I got this DVD and then I was amazed. I never knew the logistics of the story before, that Casablanca was an underground weigh station for people -- mostly rich Jews, who were the only ones who could afford the long journey by plane and then the long wait in Casablanca until they could procure the necessary travel documents -- trying to escape Europe and the Nazi Holocaust. Bogart as a person found his truest niche in this film as a rich, weathered elite who walked the nearly impenetrable but thinnest of lines between bleeding-heart caring and seething contempt. Bergman, on the other hand, is that rarest of women whom guys like Rick resolve to accumulate all their money and power in the first place to protect and champion. If he's the hard outer shell, she's that gooey inner heart of gold he exists to protect -- until it seems that she was false and thereby is born his supremest of cynicisms that never dies.

Love comes at a great price in this film! Love of freedom, life and a love of your life. Many choices of tough love, no love and the most costly, putting your love of someone aside for what you deep-down in your heart and soul what is right to help out a cause that concerns the world and put those feelings aside for a just cause, knowing only a handful of people will know, but we all care!

There has been so much written about CASABLANCA over the years it would be silly to venture to critique it again. Sufice it to say, it is a CLASSIC and if you haven't seen it, you are missing a wonderful example of great movie-making.

Casablanca is a classic! You have never seen it you should. The blu ray system brings a much sharper picture and a more dynamic gray / color scale to the screen that renders a theater quality image. The entire film is brilliantly done.

Casablanca is one of the best films with Humphrey Bogart. Suspenseful and engrossing with a fast pace. Ingrid Bergman is especially great in her roll.
