CRITERION: Charade (Blu-Ray) in September

Criterion has announced a September 21st street date for Stanley Donen's Charade (Blu-Ray).

This hi-def release will be on a single disc and have the same bonus features (below) as the previously released standard DVD.

It will retail for 9.95, but is available at ClassicFlix.com for only 1.99.

SYNOPSIS:
A trio of crooks relentlessly pursue a young American (Audrey Hepburn) through Paris to recover the fortune her dead husband stole from them. The only person she can trust is a suave, mysterious stranger (Cary Grant). A deliciously dark comedic thriller, Stanley Donen's Charade dazzles with style and macabre wit to spare. Unavailable for nearly three years, The Criterion Collection is proud to re-release this ’60s spy classic in a gorgeous new anamorphic transfer.

BONUS FEATURES:

  • Audio commentary: A conversation with Stanley Donen and screenwriter Peter Stone
  • The Films of Stanley Donen: A selected filmography, with an introduction by Donen biographer Stephen M. Silverman
  • Peter Stone’s career highlights
  • Original theatrical trailer
