The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 50th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray is heading our way

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (50th Anniversary Edition) is heading to Blu-ray thanks to Kino Lorber Studio Classics. It is going to feature the orginal U.S. Theatrical Cut in HD for the first time ever, as well as the Extended Cut. They have both been mastered from 4K transfers..

The film was completed at the end of 1966, but wasn’t released until the end of 1967.

It is expected out this summer.
