Bogie’s finest films included in new collection
by Dennis Seuling
“The Best of Bogart Collection” (Warner
Home Video) is a bonus-packed assemblage
of four movies that can truthfully be called
“Bogie’s Best.” All are classics.
“Casablanca” (1942), one of the most
popular, most quoted films of all time,
takes place in the title city during World
War II. The plot revolves around a couple
of letters of transit, an old flame unexpect-
edly turning up, a corrupt police captain,
and a villainous Nazi general. The excel-
lent cast includes Ingrid Bergman, Claude
Rains, Paul Henreid, Sydney Greenstreet,
and Conrad Veidt. This is Bogart’s most
famous picture and received a Best Picture
Academy Award. Now in pristine Blu-ray,
it has never looked better. Bonuses include
commentary by Roger Ebert, additional
scenes and outtakes, a vintage cartoon, and
an introduction by Lauren Bacall.
“The Maltese Falcon” (1941) focuses on

Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in ‘The African Queen,’ one of four Bogart films in
a new Blu-ray set.
