collector's edition, wild at heart blu-ray review

Ilsa is there with Rick, a very different Rick…one with a smile and warmth. We are offered a flashback scene of Paris right before the Germans marched in. But Rick is stunned when Victor’s wife turns out to be Ilsa, the very woman that has made Rick the cold man he is today. At first, Rick’s only concern with Laslo is a sporting one, as he has a wager that Laslo will escape to the West.

Rick’s cool, calm world is disrupted by the arrival of two parties: The Nazis, who know of Rick’s past actions as a mercenary (One that often aided the underdog), and a renowned resistance leader named Victor Laslo. Rick: When it comes to women, you’rea true democrat. You know, now I think I shall pay a call on Yvonne. There is clearly more to Rick than meets the eye, as is evidenced by the loyalty his staff shows him.Ĭaptain Renault: How extravagant you are, throwing away women like that. He watches, with indifference, the struggles of those around him. Rick is a saloon owner that chooses not to take sides. I could sit here and write a valentine, but I am going to try to show some restraint.

I should state up front that I do consider Casablanca to be one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, film of all time. This is going to be a hard review for me to write without going completely ga-ga. Rick: If I gave you any thought I probably would. Stars: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, S Z Sakall, Madeleine Lebeau, Dooley Wilson
