They had a date with fate in Casablanca!
Arguably one of the greatest movies ever produced, Casablanca is a romantic masterpiece. Humphrey Bogart takes the leading role in this "love will conquer all" movie that regularly makes it into any top ten list of films. Featuring the often-misquoted line "play it again Sam" this MGM title is a true classic. The magic of the movie lies in Bogart's understanding performance, Bergman's depiction of a torn lover and a supporting cast that includes Claude Rains as the police Chief. However, cinema history will always have a special place for Dooley Wilson's rendition of 'As Time Goes By'.
This Two-Disc Special Edition DVD features a breathtaking new digital transfer plus four hours of bonus materials including many newly discovered and never-before-seen extras.
