"Seeing the film over and over again, year after year, I find it never grows over familiar. It plays like a favorite musical album. The more I know it, the more I like it."

-- Roger Ebert

"The best Hollywood movie of all time."

-- Leonard Maltin

The legendary Casablanca -- which starred Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, won three Academy Awards including Best Picture of 1943, and went on to become one of the most popular and enduring movies of all time -- will celebrate its 60th anniversary with a Two-Disc Special Edition DVD from Warner Home Video (WHV).

The 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. Among these special features are the two documentaries hosted by Bacall; interviews with Stephen Bogart and Bergman's daughters, Pia Lindstom and Isabella Rossellini; ten minutes of newly-found deleted scenes and outtakes; TV and radio shows inspired by the film; a cartoon take-off; scoring sessions; audio program; vintage trailers and more.

Voted the screen's greatest love story and the #2 film of all time by the American Film Institute (AFI), this classic wartime romance took Oscars® for director Michael Curtiz and screenwriters Julius J. Epstein, Philip G. Epstein and Howard Koch as well as for producer Hal B. Wallis.

This Special Edition is loaded with bonus features!
