Spoiler: Notes

The romantic lovers' triangle between the impossibly heroic Czech Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), his beautiful wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) and her ex-lover, cynical American Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), is still the same old story, but it's never looked better! Casablanca's new 4K resolution scan achieves the richest, most dynamic image possible, rendering the most romantic movie of all time the most beautiful it's ever been. So no matter how often you've seen the timeless classic that won 3 Academy Awards®* including Best Picture, you'll want to play it again and again.

Nick, you've never seen Casablanca?

well, we are getting you slowly into watching all the classics you've missed , but i figured you must'd seen this. at least now you'll know recognise the thousands of homages to it in all the other films you have seen. i'd say more, but since the entire film is quote after famous quote, everything would be a spoiler! hope you enjoy.

3 discs and a booklet, too!

I'm afraid not mate.

I've heard/known about it ever since I was a kid, because it's referenced a lot, like you said. I'm also ashamed to admit that I've only ever seen one Bogart film (In A Lonely Place), which he was fantastic in, of course. But, yeah... I'm definitely excited to finally check out Casablanca for myself! Shame I have to wait until February, but I've waited long enough as it is, so what's a few more months?

Cheers buddy.
