TEA AT FOUR. DINNER AT EIGHT. MURDER AT MIDNIGHT.

In 2001, Robert Altman (MASH, The Long Goodbye) took the unexpected step into Agatha Christie territory with Gosford Park, a murder-mystery whodunit set in an English country house starring a host of British acting greats and with an Oscar-winning screenplay by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes. It would become a huge success with audiences and critics alike.

Set in 1932, the action unfolds during a weekend shooting party hosted by Sir William McArdle (Alan Bates), and his wife Lady Sylvia (Kristin Scott Thomas) at his estate, Gosford Park. Among the guests are friends, relatives, the actor and composer Ivor Novello (Jeremy Northam), and an American film producer (Bob Balaban). When Sir William is found murdered in the library, everyone – and their servants – becomes a suspect.

Also starring Charles Dance, Michael Gambon, Richard E. Grant, Helen Mirren, Clive Owen, Maggie Smith, Emily Watson and many more, Altman produced another masterpiece deserving to be ranked alongside Nashville and Short Cuts as one his finest forays into ensemble drama.

Good news...I was about to purchase the Canadian release a while back.

[Gambit1138]

So excited. My first Altman and one of my favorites.

More Altman on Blu is never a bad thing.

[captainron_howdy]

Yes! Love this film!!!!

[RedHarvest]

Now I can dump that horrible Canadian release.

[Cremildo]

Might be the first ever Arrow release I'll pre-order.

[The Sovereign]

I just watched this again about a week ago - recorded from one of the movie channels. It's a terrific film and the cast is like an all-star team. It was way overdue for a better release.

Not sure why the artwork wasn't posted?

The last great Altman film. Happy to upgrade!

[alynch345]

Terrific news. Gosford Park was one of my first DVD purchases, and I've been wanting to upgrade pretty much ever since Blu-ray became a thing.

[BagheeraMcGee]

Excellent news! Day one! (and I also contemplated getting the Canadian disc and am glad I resisted).

[leoganzi]

Great! Thanks to Arrow, I don't have to wait for the upcoming Studio Canal release from Germany

[GeoffOliver]

My parents like this movie. It’s a lot like Downtown Abbey (my mom’s favorite show), which makes sense because they have the same writer and much of the same cast.

[Scottie]

Great news! One of Altman's best!

[Mr.F]

I had benn thinking that criterion would release this. Since this is a Focus/Universal title I guess Far From Heaven will also be released by Arrow

Actually his last film A Prairie Home Companion is the last great Altman film.

[thetrixrabbit]

So. Happy.

[postmodel]

Brand new cast interviews! I wonder who though? I feel like most of these big names would call for an exclusive listing like: Brand new interview with Helen Mirren exclusive to this release!

[infiniteCR]

After how atrocious (not an exaggeration) the previous release was, I'm cautiously optimistic and waiting on some screencaps.
