Kino Lorber have revealed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of Jules Dassin's
Topkapi (1964), starring Melina Mercouri, Peter Ustinov, Maximilian Schell, Robert Morley, and Jess Hahn. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Description: Beautiful thief Elizabeth Lipp (Melina Mercouri) and criminal genius Walter Harper (Maximilian Schell) put together a plan to steal an emerald-encrusted dagger from Istanbul's Topkapi Palace. As part of their crew, they hire small-time hustler Arthur Simon Simpson (Peter Ustinov) to act as their fall guy. When the Turkish secret police capture Simpson at the border, they persuade him to spy on his partners in crime, mistakenly believing that they're Communist agents plotting an assassination.
NEWLY RESTORED.
