It's been 70 years since Humphrey Bogart first uttered that immortal line "Here's looking at you, kid."
This month is Casablanca's birthday and to celebrate the occasion the ultimate wartime romance will be re-released in UK cinemas. Out February 10th; bfi.org.uk
Casablanca is a winner of three Academy Awards (including best Picture of
1943), it is one of those rare delights that more than lives up to its
status as a “classic”. Chosen as the number two American film of
all-time by the American Film Institute, Warner Brothers has released
the film in a slick, comprehensive two-disc special edition. Possibly
one of the most quoted films of all-time, it is pure moviemaking magic.
To this day, it remains an experience unlike any other in cinematic
history.
It is not possible to overstate the importance of
Casablanca in the history of film-making. Roger Ebert notes that it appears on more best film lists than any movie, including
Citizen Kane
because it appeals to both types of movie critics, those who like
technically superior films and those who love movies that tell a great
story.
Casablanca does both. Bottom line, whether you are a fan of great movies or great DVDs, if you do not make
Casablanca: Special Edition
a permanent part of your collection you will regret it. Maybe not
today... maybe not tomorrow... but soon, and for the rest of your life.
