'Casablanca: 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition' Announced for Blu-ray

Warner is rolling out the red carpet to celebrate 'Casablanca's 70th anniversary this March!

In an early announcement to retailers, Warner Brothers will be bringing 'Casablanca: 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition' to Blu-ray on March 27.

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.
