Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Giuliano Montaldo's thriller Grand Slam (1967), starring Klaus Kinski, Adolfo Celi, Riccardo Cucciolla, George Rigaud, Janet Leigh, and Robert Hoffmann. The release will be available for purchase on April 26.

Description: From Paris, Rome, New York, London...A Carnival of Thieves Comes To Rio To Make A Grand Slam!

A quiet yet cunning schoolteacher recruits an elite team of international criminals for the ultimate caper: robbing $10 million in diamonds from and impenetrable Rio de Janeiro vault at the frenzied peak of the city's Carnival. The planning is meticulous. The crime must run like clockwork. But even if they can pull off the most daring theft in criminal history, are the wildest surprises of all yet to come?

Often imitated but never surpassed, Grand Slam is a classic heist thriller in the tradition of Rififi, with one of the best twist endings of the 1960s. Hollywood legend Edward G. Robinson, Klaus Kinski (Nosferatu), Janet Leigh (Psycho) and Adolfo Celi (Thunderball) head an international cast in this white-knuckle hit that also features an ultra-swinging score by the legendary Ennio Morricone.
