Maybe, but unless the OCN for Casablanca exists and is in good shape, I'm not sure 4k would make this movie look any better. From my pov it didn't make much sense to do a 4k disc for Citizen Kane since the OCN for that movie is gone iirc.

A couple of more small items from that book on Casablanca..... First, Bogart was a good amateur chess player, and in fact at this time participated in something that was popular—correspondence chess. Apparently the set-up shown in the movie is a game that he was actually doing by correspondence...
