Great review, with two exceptions

You have listed the Premier episode from the _1955_ Casablanca TV
series, found in the special features, as:

_Television Adaptation: 1995 Who Holds Tomorrow_.

You also did not mention that this TV episode, which originally ran in a
one-hour time slot, runs for only 18 minutes on the DVD. It is nothing
more than a few random scenes from an hour-long show.

As a side note, as you say in the review, "....You Must Remember This:
A Tribute to Casablanca, the 35-minute documentary that was the main
supplement of the 2000 single-disc release. That documentary is also
included in this set, so there's really no point hanging on to that old
release."

On the new _Casablanca_ release, the documentary "You Must Remember
This" has been modified: The first two minutes, featuring Lauren Bacall,
have been removed from the main featurette and can now be seen only at
the beginning of the movie on the new version.
