The Germans wore gray, you wore blue.

I've been reading a book called "Round Up The Usual Supsects: The Making of Casablanca :Bogart, Bergman, and World War II" by Aljean Harmetz Casablanca is one of my favorite films going back to when I was a teenager and would spend the evening watching old movies in the dark in my bedroom. Casablanca was almost always shown on Channel 11, one of the nyc channels of my youth, for some reason. Anyway after reading the book I was really in the mood to watch the movie again. However since my beat up old video tape was in deep storage (which would require half a day of unpacking my spare room to find) I decided it was time to upgrade to dvd. Luckily a beautiful two disk set has come out with the most gorgeous restored print I've ever seen.
