MGM has unveiled final specs for 'The Pink Panther,' with the classic comedy coming to Blu-ray this January with a host of bonus features.
Bucking the studio's recent trend of issuing bare bones catalog titles on Blu-ray, the 1963 Peter Sellars farce (which spawned a franchise of sequels) will come with multiple extras when it hits high-def on January 27.
Among the supplements are audio commentary with director Blake Edwards, five featurettes ("The Pink Panther Story," "Beyond the Feline: The Cartoon Phenomenon," "The Coolest Cat in Cortina: Robert Wagner," "The Tip Toe Life of a Cat Burglar: A Conversation with Former Jewel Thief Bill Mason," "Diamonds: Beyond the Sparkle") and the original theatrical trailer.
Tech specs will see a BD-50 dual-layer disc with 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video and a remixed English DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround track.
As previously announced, suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $34.95.
