Kino Lorber are preparing a 4K Blu-ray release of Robert Altman's
The Long Goodbye (1973), starring Elliott Gould, Nina van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden, Mark Rydell, and Henry Gibson. The release is expected to arrive on the market before the end of the year.
Description: Elliott Gould (Busting, The Silent Partner) gives one of his best performances as a quirky, mischievous Philip Marlowe in this fascinating and original send-up of Raymond Chandler's classic detective story from maverick filmmaker Robert Altman (McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Nashville). Co-starring Nina van Pallandt (American Gigolo), Sterling Hayden (The Killing), Mark Rydell (Punchline) and Henry Gibson (The Blues Brothers) with a screenplay by Leigh Brackett (The Big Sleep, The Empire Strikes Back), The Long Goodbye is a gloriously inspired subversion of the film noir genre with the "sun-baked Sodom" of 1970s Hollywood as its backdrop.
Private eye Philip Marlowe (Gould) faces the most bizarre case of his life, when a friend's apparent suicide turns into a double murder involving a sexy blonde, a disturbed gangster and a suitcase full of drug money. But as Marlowe stumbles toward the truth, he soon finds himself lost in a maze of sex and deceit—only to discover that in L.A., if love is dangerous... friendship is murder.
