Sweet Charity (1969) Coming to Blu-ray
Kino Lorber Studio Classics announced today that they are working on a Blu-ray release of Sweet Charity (1969) from a new 4K restoration. All I can say is, “It’s about time!” I don’t think a week passes where I don’t watch the YouTube video above (which displays how Sammy Davis Jr. can steal a whole movie with a single scene). I can’t wait to add this scene and the rest of Sweet Charity to my Blu-ray collection.
