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. The DVD release has theatrical
trailers, a related documentary, optional French soundtrack, and
optional English and French subtitles.
