Need some Thorough Edition Details and Pictures of the New Casablanca release - Blu-ray Forum

Scholer · 02-19-2013, 05:07 PM

For many reasons I still haven't had the chance to get Casablanca but I had my eyes on the new French Edition. It is advertised as Boiter Metal 70th Anniversary.... And so on but I need some solid details of the nature of this release first.

So the most vital query is that whether this has the new 4k Sourced Transfer or not?

And can any French Member owning this please upload some pics to help me decide. Or any links from other sites with pics would suffice. Hope for some quick responses, I need so.

I don't own it but I've checked the technical specs on the dvd.fr website (see link above) and on "Les Années Laser" magazine; it seems it's the same technical specs and special features in the French edition and in the American "70th Anniversary Edition" (for exemple, the English audio is in DTS-HD in both editions whereas it was only in Dolby Digital in the old editions), so I'm pretty sure it's also the same 4k transfer.

So it might really be the 4k master. So now I just need some pics, as I want ti make sure whether if it looks better to me than the US Giftset. Thanks guys for your help. Just a bit more and we're done

if it has the 70th anniversary tag I think it will be the new transfer.

the pic on the cover of the French version is the same as used on the US boxset so I would feel very confident it will utilize the new transfer.

I don't own the 2012 french edition because I've been able, like many other French people, to get the US UCE for cheaper well before a French release was planned.

However, I understood that this 70th anniversary collector edition is the new 2012 edition, unlike the 2013 UK Steelbook which is the old edition.
