Anchor Bay Entertainment has announced plans to release the 1980 mob classic The Long Good Friday, with Academy Award nominee Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren, on DVD April 4th, with the suggested retail price of $19.98.
Hoskins delivers a ferocious performance as mobster Harold Shand, the all-powerful boss of the London underworld. But on the day he is about to close the ultimate deal with an American crime family, Shand’s empire suddenly — and literally — begins to explode around him.
Who would dare attack Britain’s most ruthless gangster? How far will he go to find the truth? And what is the deadly secret behind the havoc of The Long Good Friday? Mirren (Gosford Park, Caligula), tough guy icon Eddie Constantine (Alphaville), and Pierce Brosnan (in one of his first film roles) co-star in this now-classic crime drama that critics compare to The Godfather and Scarface as one of the greatest gangster films of all time.
The Long Good Friday is available for pre-order at Amazon . As of yet, there is not a release date for the UK. Visit the DVD’s database for more information.
