This used to be my favourite. I went to see it at a cinema in the 70s, when it was distinctly arthouse. Times change, though. Now the racism grates too much. When it was made I'm sure it was meant to be radical. Rick saying he does not sell human beings when offered a price for Sam might have been cutting edge in '42. Not now.

It does not matter how captivating Ms Bergman is, I cannot see past her using that American racist insult, 'boy'.

Sam, of course, does not even have two dimensions to his character.

DVD : Romance on the High Seas [1948] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
As a soldier back in 1951 I walked miles to see this new singing sensation. The film in the UK was retitled "It's Magic" and it certainly was and is. Doris Day never fails in her musical films to give a fabulous performance, I'm just jealous of Jack Carson

DVD : Yankee Doodle Dandy [1942]
This is the best film ever but try as I might I can not get hold of it for region 2. If anyone knows where or how I can find this film to play on my DVD player, here in England, I would be grateful.
Same goes for "My Beautiful Son" AKA "Strange Relations" in the American market.

DVD : The Student Prince [1954]
I can't rate this item, but judging by the reviews of this DVD there is a much better alternative... I bought a different Asian import from an Amazon seller - The Student Prince (1954) - Ann Blyth,Edmund Purdom,John Ericson and was delighted to find that both picture and sound quality are good, the format is 16:9 widescreen and the subtitles can be turned off completely. See my review with others on the product page.
