Kino Lorber have revealed that they plan to release on 4K Blu-ray Peter Collinson's
The Italian Job (1969), starring Michael Caine, Noël Coward, Benny Hill, Raf Vallone, and Tony Beckley. The release is expected to arrive on the market early next year.
Previously, Kino Lorber had announced only an upcoming Blu-ray release.
Description: Forget about the straight and narrow. Clever con Charlie Croker (Michael Caine) intends to go straight to the bank. Fresh from the slammer, he begins work on a heist that will either set him up for life-or send him up forever. Croker and his unruly lot of thieves take on the mob, the police and the gridlock traffic of Turin to rob a heavily armed shipment of gold bullion in The Italian Job.
Entertainment legend Noel Coward (in his last film role) costars in this open-throttle caper as criminal mastermind Bridger. And Benny Hill, Raf Vallone and Rossano Brazzi add to the story's fun and suspense as it zips from plan to robbery to escape to an ending that's a cliffhanger in every sense of the word! Hold on tight!
