“Casablanca Ultimate Collector’s Edition” - For The Ultimate Holiday Gift - On Blu-ray™ Hi-Def And DVD December 2 From Warner Home Video

(August 18, 2008 – Burbank, CA) – The legendary “Casablanca” -- which critic Leonard Maltin calls “the best Hollywood movie of all time,” starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman and winner of three Academy Awards® including Best Picture -- returns in a stunning new “Ultimate Collector’s Edition” (UCE) on December 2 from Warner Home Video, just in time for the holidays. “Casablanca Ultimate Collector’s Edition” will also be available in Blu-ray™ Hi-Def for the first time ever. “Casablanca” has remained a beloved favorite for almost seven decades, and was voted the screen’s greatest love story and the #3 film of all time by the American Film Institute (AFI). This classic wartime romance also took Oscars® for Michael Curtiz (Directing); Julius J. Epstein, Philip G. Epstein and Howard Koch (Writing - Screenplay) and the studio (Outstanding Motion Picture). The luxurious “Casablanca Ultimate Collector’s Edition” looks like another beginning of a beautiful friendship. The premium giftset is elegantly boxed in an intricate laser-cut Moroccan design and will include such collectibles as replicas of actual props (Victor Laszlo’s “Letter of Transit”) as well as a number of Warner studio documents (an executive’s letter commanding a new PR image for Bogart from gangster to romantic lead; a note from producer Hal Wallis re-titling the film to “Casablanca”; and a memo from Wallis to Jack Warner strongly urging casting Bogart over George Raft). The DVD set will also contain a branded passport holder, luggage tag, photo book and a mail-in offer for a reproduction of the original movie poster. Additionally, with more than seven hours of bonus features (see below) along with a documentary on Jack Warner, no matter how often one has seen the unforgettable classic, there’s sure to be something to enrich the experience. “Casablanca Ultimate Collector’s Edition” will retail on DVD for $59.98 SRP, the “Casablanca Ultimate Collector’s Edition Blu-ray™ Hi-Def” for $64.99 SRP. The previously released “Two-Disc Special Edition” will also be available with new packaging and will sell for $26.99 SRP. Orders for all are due October 21. About the Film Casablanca: easy to enter, but much harder to leave, especially if you're wanted by the Nazis. Such a man is Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), whose only hope is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a cynical American who sticks his neck out for no one - especially Victor's wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the ex-lover who broke his heart. Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Laszlo's transport out of the country and bitter Rick must decide what counts more - personal happiness or countless lives hanging in the balance.
