That does indeed look sweet, thanks for the link. Although I don't have a WB coupon.

Jeez Louise, maybe I'll hold off getting the Casablanca/The African Queen double DB feature and wait for this.

On the Blu-ray.com link for this collection, when you go to this page it says under Packaging:
Slipcover in original pressing
Figure/replica/props/memorabilia included


What does "figure/replica/props/memorabilia included" mean, I wonder?

Collectible art cards featuring the original poster art for each movie.

OK thanks!

Anything else or just the art cards?

When I saw "figure" listed, I was hoping for a Humphrey Bogart bobble-head doll LOL!

[MifuneFan]

Nope, that's it . A Bogie bobblehead doll would be hilarious now that you mention it though.

Or a life sized replica of the Falcon statue!

I think a Hepburn bobble-head would be more appropriate! OUCH! Sorry about that guys.

Yes she was a real life bobble-head wasn't she? Oh, that is an ouch!

I like the life-sized Falcon statue idea. Maybe with a beak that opens to store the BD cases.

On a serious note, I bet one can purchase a replica of the Maltese Falcon. That would be kind of neat to have in my living room.

Here's one to purchase. Looks pretty good. http://www.hauntedstudios.com/prodde...Fct9OgodingA3g

I received my copy from Amazon yesterday and can confirm that YES, all the special features and extras mentioned in this review https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Casab.../33623/#Review ARE on the Casablanca/The African Queen double feature 2 BD set.

And I am SO psyched about sitting down to watch these 2 great films and all the extras!

Thanks to those who helped me with my questions on this 2 BD set. You

I have that falcon and it's pretty freaking awesome.

I put it on a birthday list a couple years ago and even when I got it I thought 'a hundred bucks for this...I dunno...' but it's really well done and looks great on my bookcase.

No problem. I'm always glad to be of help. I finally picked up a copy of Sierra Madre this weekend myself. I can't wait til Big Sleep makes it to blu though.

I do not want to pay $100 for a Maltese Falcon statue replica, but I'd love to have one on my shelf. It's the stuff that dreams are made of.

I've rediscovered The Maltese Falcon in a huge way since buying the Blu-ray about this time last year. I've watched the Blu-ray seven times since I bought it.

There are a ton of Humphrey Bogart films missing in action on Blu-ray.

The Big Sleep
In a Lonely Place
High Sierra
Key Largo
Dark Passage
Dead Reckoning
To Have and Have Not
The Two Mrs. Carrolls
Knock on Any Door
The Left Hand of God
The Harder They Fall

...and so on...

Yeah but the Big Sleep is my favorite.

The UK steelbook that was released a year ago, does that include the 4K transfer or old one?

It's the old one unfortunately.

It's an either-or question - which can't be answered with "nope" - and it was answered over 2 months ago.

I believe the term you were looking for is "heresy ".

I'd like a well produced color version as well but not the muted 80s era colorized junk that exists now. I do have the 70th anniversary edition, Blu disc only.

Guess this makes me a film heretic.

Oh and I recently went for The Humphrey Bogart Collection. Four magnificent films in one pack. My single Blu is now a nice living room decoration (in its case ). Hope there 's a Volume Two in our future to include "Key Largo" and "The Big Sleep".

Nice catch on the spelling but you want to colorize Casablanca!? Please, gimmie a break! _
