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.--Tom Keogh

still magic after all these years.......2008-02-15
Even now, after all these years, you can still see that this film was an absolute classic.
Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) is the owner of 'Ricks', the best saloon in town. When escaped resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) and wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), who is also Rick's ex lover, turn up at the saloon, closely followed by a Nazi Officer (Conrad Veidt), things get very complicated.
The relationship between Bogart and Bergman, is part of the magic of the film. Claude Raines, who is the local French Cheif of Police, is wonderful in the part and is involved in most of the moments of humour and his relationship with Bogart also provides some magic moments.
Peter Lorre, Sidney Greenstreet and Dooley Wilson (who as piano player Sam, sings 'as time goes by'), all contribute to the atmosphere of the film.
A spell binding storyline, with a surprise ending. Even the cast did not know how the plot ended until the final scene was filmed. So, if somehow you have not seen this before, you are in for a real treat. If you have already seen it, enjoy it once more.
Won many acadamy awards and is said to be America's best loved and popular film. You will understand why.
The only rom com I will happily watch.......2008-02-08
This wonderfully ripe romantic comedy should have been the last rom com ever made. Alas it only inspired many more, which were to get progressively worse until we got to the level of dire we are at today. Rom com makers, if you must make your money by exploiting the public's bad taste in movies and desires for emotional pick me ups, please stop following the current formula and go back to this marvellous template for original if corny romantic comedy. Let this classic be a lesson to you.
That special something.......2008-01-17
Love - some might say, should not hurt! A lovers song " As time goes by" of Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) and Rick Blaine (Humphery Bogart)still lingers with bittersweet memories for both. A love torn by war and circumstances. A man with patriotism and vision Victor Laszlo ( Paul Henreid) is married to the lovely Ilsa. The couple arrive in Casablanca to escape from oppression and make their way to America to start a new life, a new future. The happenings in Casablanca add to their strength of character, love, nationalism and their story touch our very hearts? A beautiful movie, a splendid story, a true classic movie with something special.
A TRUE MASTERPIECE.......2007-12-09
Spoilers ahead, but then again, who isn't familiar with Casablanca, even if one hasn't seen it?
I've been watching 'Casablanca' over and over again since I bought the Special Edition DVD, and is there any film out there one can watch again and again without ever being tired of it? And does any film appeal to a broader audience? Just everything about it seems to be as close to perfection as it only can be.
But what exactly is so special about it? Is it its great genre mix, never equaled by another film? When we think of 'Casablanca' first, we remember it as a romantic film (well, most of us do). But then again, its also a drama involving terror, murder and flight. One can call it a character study, centering on Rick. And there are quite a few moments of comedic delight, just think of the pickpocket ("This place is full of vultures, vultures everywhere!") or the elderly couple on the last evening before their emigration to the US ("What watch?").
But 'Casablanca' is not only great as a whole, it still stands on top if we break it apart and look at single lines of dialog, scenes or performances alone. Is there any other film which has more quotable dialog than 'Casablanca'? 'Pulp Fiction' is on my mind here, and 'All About Eve' and 'Sunset Blvd.' come close, too, but still I think 'Casablanca' tops everything else. And not only is the dialog great, it's unforgettably delivered, especially by Humphrey Bogart ("I was misinformed.") and Claude Rains ("I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on here"). Many of scenes have become a part of film history; the duel of 'Die Wacht am Rhein' and 'La Marseillaise' is probably one of the greatest scenes ever shot (the only I can think of that would rival it for the #1 spot is Hynkel and the globe from Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator'), and the last scene is probably even familiar to the few people who've never seen 'Casablanca'. Am I the only one who is absolutely convinced that the film wouldn't have become what it is today if Rick and Ilsa would have ended up as the lucky couple?
About the performances: So much has been said about the uniqueness of Humphrey Bogart's and Ingrid Bergman's chemistry as Rick and Ilsa, about Claude Rains' terrific turn as Renault, about the scene-stealing performances by Peter Lorre (one of the 10 all-time greatest actors) as Ugarte and Sydney Greenstreet as Ferrari and about Dooley Wilson stopping the show as Sam. I'd love to emphasize here two other performances, one that is not mentioned quite as often and one which is blatantly overlooked: Conrad Veidt as Major Strasser had a really difficult task here, as his character is the only evil one, but still Strasser is not a one-dimensional character, and it took more than 50 years until another actor gave an equally (maybe even more) impressive performance as a Nazi, Ralph Fiennes in 'Schindler's List'. But why no one ever mentions S. K. Sakall, who plays Carl, the jolly waiter at Rick's Café Américain, is beyond me. He has definitely more screen time than Lorre, Greenstreet and Wilson, and probably about as much as Veidt, and he's a joy whenever he's on the screen. I simply love his reaction when the pickpocket ("Vultures everywhere!") accidentally bumps into him, or the reaction to the "What watch"-dialog. Or how he says he gave Strasser the best table, "being a German, he would have taken it anyway". His performance is simply criminally overlooked.
So is there a weakest link in 'Casablanca'? Every film, no matter how close to perfection, has a minor flaw or two, so one can find them in 'Casablanca', too, if one really tries hard. So yes, one might ask how much sense the entire mumbo jumbo about the letters of transit makes. One might point out that Paul Henreid, although his performance is certainly good, doesn't come close to the greatness of any of his co-stars. However, the film is so close to perfection that I'm almost ashamed that I'm so desperately trying to find less-than-perfect elements.
So whatever films will come, how many sequels will overflow the screen, and how much junk we will have to sit through, one thing is certain if we're desperate to see a great film: We'll always have Casablanca!
A True Classic.......2007-10-07
If you have never seen this this movie, then u must!
Humphrey Bogart stars as Rick Casablanca, a shady New York private detective on the trail of Nazi scientist Victor Laszlo and his evil wife Ilsa.
George Lucas (in his directorial debut) does a fine job maintaining the suspence throughout the 168 minute running time.
The song and dance routines weren`t to my liking, but everything else is first class. Olivia de Havilland was particularly excellent in the role of "Sam", Ricks girlfriend who famously declared "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
Casablanca is a true classic. 5 stars!
Amazon.co.uk Review
This generously filled two-disc special edition presentation of Casablanca features the film itself in an impressively clean new digital transfer on the first disc, with hiss-free mono sound. It's prefaced by a rather pointless introduction from Lauren Bacall (it would surely be churlish to point out that Casablanca was made two years before Bacall met Bogart) and accompanied by two full-length and fact-packed audio commentaries, one from film critic Roger Ebert, who hardly pauses to take a breath, and the other from film historian Rudy Behlmer, who provides in-depth background detail.
The second disc features a plentiful collection of sundry archival features and more from Bacall, who hosts the two documentaries: You Must Remember This: The Making of Casablanca and a retrospective of Bogie's career, Bacall on Bogart. Of minor interest are two very short deleted scenes--Laszlo and Rick at the jail, and a German officer's pratfall--which in lieu of any surviving audio track have been subtitled from the original script; there's also five minutes of silent outtakes. An audio-only sample of Max Steiner's music-scoring sessions features Dooley Wilson singing "Knock on Wood" and "As Time Goes By". There are brief reminiscences from Stephen Bogart and Pia Lindstrom (son and daughter of Bogie and Ingrid Bergman, respectively); Bugs Bunny and pals in Carrotblanca; a curious 1955 Warner Bros TV version of the movie; audio excerpts from the "Screen Guild Players Radio Production" featuring the principal cast; plus the usual static galleries and other trivia. All in all, it's a valuable two-disc set that really does provide everything you always wanted to know about one of the most famous movies ever made. --Mark Walker

Whatever Bogart had, ever actor since has been looking for it........2006-11-07
O.K. so Humphrey Boghart never said 'Play it again Sam' that little movie myth does not stop Casablanca being one of the best two or three films ever made and certainly one of the most loved. Why? Well if film makers knew that they would all make films as good at it. We could start with the actors, everyone perfect for the part they play. The story, a love story set against the background of the war and a man willing to give up the woman he loves for the greater good. The charachers, a cynical bar owners who risks nothing for no one, a beautiful woman torn between two good men, a brave hero of the resistance, a corrupt policeman who has a good side and a faithful retainer. The setting, exotic and dangerous. All these make Casablanca the great film it is. Most of all however it is Bogart as Rick, whatever Bogart had, ever actor since him has been looking for it. He must have been in more truely great films, The Maltese Falcon and The Treasure of Sierra Madre for instance, than almost any other actor.
If you have never watched Casablanca, where have you been? Go out buy or rent it and get ready for one of the greatest movies ever made.
A must purchase of a great film.......2006-04-17
This must be one of best classic dvds available at any money.
First is the superb digitally enhanced picture,depending on the quality of your equipment especially your scart lead this transfer to disc is almost perfect,and being a black and white film the contrasts and shadows are trully spellbinding.
The most authorative commentaries you are likely to come across provides you with so much detail about the film that any book would appear useless.
You are given a step by step account of Bogards and Bergmans character throughout the film, I am at a loss to tell you how good the commentaries are.
This is a must buy for the sheer quality of one of the greatest films ever made to one of the most accomplished dvds you are likely to watch.
YOU MUST BUY - STEAL - SELL YOUR BODY TO SCIENCE - OR BORROW THIS DISC --IT IS A TOUR DE FORCE A MASTERPIECE
GET IT KNOW !!!
You must remember this..........2006-03-08
NOTE: I am reviewing the film, not the DVD.
I watched this last Xmas on TV, with my family, and not one person thought it was bad (I have a large family, btw): the funny bits were still funny (Rick's cynical line, "I'm the only cause I know", for example), the sad bits were still heart-wrenching ("Of all the gin joints in all the world...") and the characters still captivated (Claude Rains taking his winnings after closing down 'Rick's' because of illegal gambling).
I think the plot is complex and riveting, although it confuses some people: for the record, Bogie and Bergman DO love each other but they sacrifice their relationship for 'the cause' (hence the line, "it doesn't take much to see that the problems of a few small people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world").
All the performances are likeable (esp. Bogie and Rains), and the whole look of the film is so polished you'll swear it was made yesterday (I exaggerate, but only a little). Of course, it's important to remember that this was made during the war, and the film's message is one of comradeship - put aside your personal problems and help your country, you ingrates! Or something like that. It's not all stiff politics, though: when Rick says, "We'll always have Paris" you'll be reaching for your (metaphorical) hankerchief.
It's on TV throughout the year, particularly at Xmas, but buy the DVD anyway. It's unforgettable, true, but you'll still want to watch it again and again, to revel in the beauty of it all: the incredible dialogue, the great performances, THAT ending, etc.
Oh, and btw: anyone who thinks this film's a turkey has no taste in films. It's official!
Wonderful Film.......2006-02-12
I thought that this was one of hte most wonderful films I have ever seen like so many on here who have watched it. The acting is absolutely amazing- Claude Rains in particular is fantastic in his part. I wish scripts were written like this more often as it is superlative. If you haven't seen this and are wondering whether what all the other reviewers have said is true- it is this is flabbergastingly good
This gun is pointed strait at your heart!.......2005-12-22
1942 the Nazi occupation of France. Refugees must take a long and torturers rout Through Casa Blanca on their way to America; there "Everybody comes to Rick's."
Here we also stay for a while to watch a drama unfold. There are overlapping stories. One of a young couple trying to get to America and the girl wondering if a girl should have to do something was wondering what would happen if her husband, "a boy in many ways", would find out? A second rate crook obtains something of value at the expense of two germane curriers. A Police Captain shocked to find there is gambling going on at Rick's. Many other stories surround the main theme of a love triangle that started in Paris and now can mean so much to individuals or the effort for freedom.
Will the Nazi's win their prize?
Will Capt. Renault get the girl?
Will Rick get away with Ilsa?
This film has become quite a classic. There are many quotes and misquotes attributed to the film. You will find your self kibitzing. One memorable seen for all is the showdown where the Germans are singing "Watch on the Rhine" and Yvonne (Madeleine LeBeau) over powers them leading the "La Marseillaise."
Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the classics of the noir psychological thriller, In a Lonely Place is one of Humphrey Bogart's finest performances. He is almost unbearably intense as Dixon Steele, a screenwriter with high standards and a nasty temper who finds himself under suspicion when Mildred, a hat-check girl he knows, is found murdered. Immediately he gets an alibi from a neighbour, Laurel, and equally quickly, he recognises that this is a woman who meets his standards: the question is, as suspicion of his involvement in Mildred's death continues, can he make himself meet hers?
This is a wonderful study in trust and suspicion and the limits of love; Bogart's performance is impressive simply because he is prepared to go well over the limits of our sympathy in the name of emotional truth. The scene where he explains imaginatively to a cop and his wife how the murder might have happened is a spine-chilling, creepy portrait of amoral artistic brilliance. Gloria Grahame is equally fine as the woman who lets herself love him, for a while.
On the DVD: In a Lonely Place comes with an excellent documentary in which Curtis Hanson (LA Confidential) explains the importance of the film to him and discusses its place in the work of Bogart and the director Nicholas Ray; there is also a quick interesting documentary about the restoration and digitisation of classic films. The film is presented with a visual aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and with restored Dolby Surround sound that does full justice to the film's snappy dialogue and the moody George Antheil score. --Roz Kaveney

Will they, won't they?.......2007-12-28
Will they stay together or won't they? Did he do it or didn't he? After the success ot Treasure of the Sierra Madre Bogie was not just mean but could be believably on the edge of madness - just like Jack Nicholson. The inner man is destructive and provides a fine core for Bogart to build the character around. And this is about the best of Gloria Grahame I have evr seen. A more understated part than most she is understandably the enigmatic, likeable and beautiful woman yo would want living next door.
Great.......2006-03-27
This film is a wonderful exploration of psychological doubt. What seems at first to be a simple film noir full of wise craching and sexy women turns into an interesting exploration of relationships- of how to maintain and not maintain relationships wherein one of the partners is unstable in some way. The actors turn in fantastic performances, Bogart as people have said above is flawless in his portrait of Dixon but Gloria Graham is wonderful too- torn between her doubts about Bogart and her love for him. You can see the chemistry crackle between them- they have some marvellous exchanges of dialogue which light up the set with wit, but you can also see why this man is a potential wife beater, a potential murderer. Bogart gives us a thug who is tender and kind, who protects an actor who is out of work and a drunk, who wants to write only films he will be proud of- instead of a pure thug- we have a nuanced portrait of a man who might be a murderer. Quite simply this is possibly the best noir of all the ones I have watched- a wonderful wonderful experience which all should share.
Classic noir.......2004-03-15
This is a dark, beautiful film from director Nicholas Ray, best known for "Rebel Without A Cause". Ray was one of Hollywood's outsiders with a reputation for dark, edgy pictures that went against the grain of what a commercial movie should be. "In A Lonely Place" finds the brilliantly-cast Bogart as a weary, volatile, couldn't-care-less screenwriter who is mistakenly suspected of the murder of a young girl. The mysterious, ice-cool blonde nextdoor (Gloria Grahame) gives him an alibi... but why? The pair proceed to seduce each other but their complex relationship is put to the test by Bogart's insecurities and barely suppressed temper... is he capable of murder after all?
It's a powerful, well-written film with a suitably moody L.A feel, a terrific anti-hero performance from Bogart (proof of his acting chops and why he was such a big star), and a fittingly well-wrought climax. One of my favourite '50s movies.
A really good Bogart film, with a powerful storyline............2003-02-02
"I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me." Dixon Steele
Humphrey Bogart plays Dixon Steele, a Hollywood Screenwriter with a violent nature. After he is called upon to write a screen play for a trashy book, he engages the help of Mildred Atkinson (Martha Stewart) to summarise the book for him at his house. (Atkinson is young, naive and annoying; I think she is the only thing that overcasts a great movie).
Atkinson eventually leaves to go home (she goes to a cab station) and we never see her again. Nor does anyone else; she's been brutally murdered and dumped at a roadside.
Having been the last person to see her, Steele is naturally suspected by the police. However, his alibi is backed up from his beautiful neighbour, wannabe actress Laurel Grey (Gloria Grahame.)
A standard film would then centre on the budding romance between Steele and Grey, but "In a Lonely Place," to its credit, does not. Instead the end result of the film makes you want to see it all over again, despite the ending (I will not spoil it for those who have not seen it!) It is a really powerful film, and due to the great acting you definately empathise with the characters, and understand the conflicting emotions of love and fear.
This is a good film, and one I would recommend buying.
A tense romantic story about violence and love........2001-07-18
This film looks like a suspense story, it has a sharp crackling feel to it.Two people are drawn together when a screen writer is accused of murder and the heroine provides him with an alibi. They are perfect together, sexual chemistry sparkling. But he has a temper and we wonder how dark is his dark side. She has a history of running away from trouble. The dialogue is snappy, we love these people, their humour, their frailty. But the tension is racked up as the police suggest he may really have committed the murder. What we see is a wonderfull romance, and the high price that is paid for violence, it's corroding effect on a relationship. The movie slides lightly through these heavy themes and leaveS one with a sense of satisfaction when it arrives at it's conclusion.

The 1980's - what fun we had!
This excellent film is as funny now as it was then! It's worth a few pounds and an evening in for anybody!
'Like a good ice cream'.......2005-02-15
Lovely film, a real pleasure. Bill Paterson is the star of the show but Scottish stars like Rikki Fulton add to it. Some of the acting is a little dubious for example Clare Grogan is very wooden at times.
I would certainly recommend the film especially to homesick Glaswegians who will recognise many of the sights.
Low Key Gem.......2005-01-21
This wonderful gem is very understated and typical of Bill Forsyth's best work (see also Gregory's Girl, That Sinking Feeling and Local Hero however do take care to avoid Gregory's Two Girls like the plague a 0 star clunker).
Dumped DJ Dickie Bird (the perennially excellent Bill Paterson) wants to be taken seriously and tries his hand at some investigative journalism. After seeing an attack on an ice cream van manned by Alex "Taggart" Norton and Clare Grogan being trashed he gets involved in an internecine ice cream war.
A warm, amusing script coupled with an understated Mark Knopfler Score (bits of Love Over Gold for the record) and sympathetic direction/cinematography results in a great feel good film, a star is docked as feels a little dated.

classic chaney........2006-06-11
glad to finally see something of lon chaney.
for a long time , the only films i have seen were "phantom of the opera" and "the hunchback of notre dame."
thankfully, that has all changed for the better.
thrilled to see a reconstructed version of the lost film "london after midnight" and also "the unknown," both directed by regular chaney collaborator tod browning. the inclusion of "laugh, clown, laugh" is also an added bonus. but the choice "ace of hearts" lets everything down slightly.
this could have been a six dvd set of films like "the monster," "the unholy three,"(both versions) "west of zanibar," "tell it to the marines," "HE who gets slapped" etc.
the documentary on this collection is one of the best and most detailed i have ever seen: plenty of home footage and clips of chaney's most famous films.
it is certainly true that whilst he wasn't a horror actor ,some of his films were rather bizarre and eccentric.
i really hope that this release will be the first of many.
Lon Chaney is mesmerizing..........2005-05-04
This DVD set is simply brilliant! I watch it all the time. Lon Chaney is by far the best actor I have ever seen. He just holds you, keeps you there, fascinated by him. I have never seen anyone so amazing on the screen as him and he was mostly a silent screen actor apart from one talking film called "The Unholy Three", which sadly has not yet been released and it is also brilliant! The two best movies on this set are "Laugh Clown Laugh" and "The Unknown". Michael F. Blake's commentary's and documentary are excellent giving us an insight into how the movies were made and a little information about Lon Chaney the man. I also really enjoyed watching the composer's contest winner's documentary. I think they did a remarkable job composing the music for these movies. This is such a treat for any movie enthusiast. I'm so proud to own this and other Lon Chaney films. To me they are priceless.
Master Lon.......2004-08-06
Lon Chaney was one of the most memorable actors of the silent era. This is a good collection. The picture quality is mostly good (except for Ace of Hearts which needs digital reworking). The extras include a bio on Chaney which is quite interesting. I am still waiting for the Unholy Three (1930) to be released.
For all lovers of gore and cinematographic atmosphere.......2003-12-05
Lon Chaney was but a name to me, when I first watched this luxurious double-DVD, and already he feels quite familiar to me. Not enough praise can be lavished on TCM's initiative, the restored films are pristine and gorgeous to look at, the newly commissioned scores are idiomatic, melodic and challenging in a way that doesn't distract you from the actual films, and the long documentary offers fascinating angles at Hollywood and the gore of the 20's. Of the films, 'Laugh, Clown, Laugh' is an underrated gem, very similar, and quite superior, to Chaplin's 'Limelight', with climaxes I'm not liable to ever forget again - a true classic. The grotesque, incredibly morbid and outrageously un-PC 'Unknown' is ... well, sort of hard to take, but one is spellbound for its one hour duration. For the price of those two, for the documentary and for the knowledgeable commentaries that follow each of the three films, I can only recommend any lover of silent films or melodrama or cinematic atmosphere to purchase this set.

A GOOD BIGFOOT MOVIE.......2007-08-06
Much to my surprise, Jim McCullough's "Creature From Black Lake" turned out to be quite the opposite of everything I had expected. As a matter of fact, I can even recall thinking midway through....."gee, when's this supposed to get bad?". Well it never did and anyone who's a fan of films like "The Legend of Boggy Creek" will surely appreciate this one.
The story is simple: Two college students (Pahoo & Rives) travel down south to investigate the existence of a sasquatch, or as the locals refer to it..."The Creature". While most of the townspeople refuse to talk about the subject, they do encounter a few willing participants who tell of their Bigfoot stories. Eventually they hook up with a couple of sweeties, one who happens to be the sheriffs daughter(surprise, surprise) and meet up one night for a little make-out session, only to be interrupted by one very hairy and uninvited guest...bet you'll never guess who. Ultimately, the friends have to face off against this mysterious creature in the fight of their lives.
What I found most impressive, was the directors success in creating a very high level of tension and suspense when the creature is lurking near by. Also, the grainy picture quality is pretty effective, much like "The Texas Chain Saw Masacre" was. Aside from the suspense, there's also a lot of charming moments. The two lead characters are very likable with their somewhat innocent qualities, and some of the other characters were pretty fun to watch as well.
You will want 90 minutes of your life back.......2006-12-03
The transfer is awful. Muddy, fuzzy and lacking green tones. The story is talky and drawn out, with one character's aversion to chicken mentioned ad nauseum as is his preference for hamburgers. When you see the "creature" it's only for a moment and because of the quality you don't see much. It's always a worry when the same person's name crops up about 15 times in the credits. Don't watch this film. No, really. Don't.

Bing Crosby and Jane Wyman in a tuneful technicolor pic.......2004-07-22
This is a two film (on one DVD) set. Both films star Bing Crosby and Jane Wyman. "Here Comes the Groom" is in Black and White. It was made in 1951 and directed by Frank Capra. It was one of Bing's favorite films (referred to in his autobiography "Call Me Lucky"). The main song is "In The Cool Cool Cool of the Evening". Excellent musical comedy with some serious moments.
The second film "Just for You" is in Colour and was made in 1952. It contains some excellent musical numbers (sung with real zest) including "Zing a Little Song"; "The Live Oak Tree" and the "Ten Ten from Tennessee". Bing plays a widower who is having trouble with his teenage children (Natalie Wood & Robert Arthur). There is some excellent comedy from Ethel Barrymore, who plays a school headmistress cum motor mechanic. Ethel specialises in starting tricky outboard motors!! Again the film is mainly a musical comedy, but has some serious (and quite moving) moments.
The quality of both picture and sound is truly outstanding. This double feature set is excellent value for money. A real winner.
