dir. Blake Edwards
Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau is dead. At least that is what the world—and Charles Dreyfus—believe when a dead body is discovered in Clouseau's car after being shot off the road. Naturally, Clouseau knows differently and, taking advantage of not being alive, sets out to discover why an attempt was made on his life.
Charles Dreyfus, who has finally cracked over inspector Clouseau's antics, escapes from a mental institution and launches an elaborate plan to get rid of Clouseau once and for all.

dir. Gordon Hessler
Gordon Hessler's 1971 Poe adaptation gets its first 4K through the Hammer Presents line, with Robards and Lom in the lead and a July 20 ship in the UK and Canada. Hessler's original dreamlike cut was famously simplified for the AIP theatrical release, and Hammer hasn't said yet whether the disc carries the director's vision, the studio version, or both. Packaging and audio specs aren't posted yet.

Kino Lorber 4K. Early impressions are positive, though some shots remain grainy due to the source material. The Henry Mancini score in lossless is the draw for Pink Panther fans.
