Arrow Video is thrilled to announce the UK Blu-ray premiere release of iconic Wyatt Earp epic My Darling Clementine, director John Ford’s celebrated return to the Western genre following his equally acclaimed and iconic Stagecoach. Starring Henry Fonda as the legendary lawman in arguably the most famous of his on-screen portrayals.

This 1946 classic comes in a glorious new 4k digital transfer, alongside two different cuts of the film, the original version that premiered in December 1946 and the longer ‘pre-release’ cut that had played to preview audiences. Both versions, along with a host of extras which are detailed below, come packaged together as an exclusive slipbox edition, limited to 3,000 copies.

Alongside both cuts of the film, this new version will also include another Wyatt Earp tale Frontier Marshal, Allan Dwan’s 1939 film starring staring Randolph Scott and Cesar Romero. These restored western masterpieces will be available on Blu-ray from 17th August 2015.

Synopsis

Wyatt Earp has long fascinated filmmakers. Actors from Burt Lancaster and James Stewart to Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner have played the legendary gunfighter, but no portrayal is more definitive that Henry Fonda’s in My Darling Clementine.

John Ford’s first Western since his seminal Stagecoach, My Darling Clementine ranks among the director’s finest. Telling the story of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and the friendship between Earp and Doc Holliday, Ford renders this famous tale into a lyrical masterpiece, filmed in his beloved Monument Valley and full of iconic moments.

This limited edition contains two versions of the Western classic – the version that premiered in cinemas in December 1946 and the longer ‘pre-release’ cut that had played to preview audiences earlier that year – as well as another Wyatt Earp movie from 20th Century Fox, Allan Dwan’s Frontier Marshal starring Randolph Scott and Cesar Romero.

Three classic films from legendary directors Wojciech Has and Federico Fellini make their debut on Blu-ray thanks to Mr Bongo Films. Has' The Saragossa Manuscript and The Hourglass Sanatorium and Fellini's Casanova get the high-def treatment in their fully restored versions on 7 September 2015.

Described by world famous filmmakers Luis Bunuel and David Lynch, and rock star Jerry Garcia as their favourite film, legendary Polish director Wojciech Has' psychedelic epic The Saragossa Manuscript is a mysteriously magical and sometimes disturbing 1960s cult classic like no other. Adapted from the highly esteemed explorer Jan Potocki's magnum opus, The Saragossa Manuscript encompasses a whole new supernatural world. During Napoleon's invasion of Spain, two soldiers of opposing sides discover a strange manuscript at an Inn. Spanning centuries and nations the magical text chronicles the adventures of Alfonso van Worden (Zbigniew Cybulski - Ashes and Diamonds) and follows a rich slew of journeys from the humorous to the horrifying, to the chilling final revelations. Alternatively frightening and comical in its mind-bending exploration of human nature The Saragossa Manuscript beautifully presents Has' intricate approach to storytelling.

Wojciech Has' cinematic universe of byzantine sets, hallucinatory images and galleries of grotesque characters is brought to life in his psychedelic masterpiece The Hourglass Sanatorium. Adapted from a collection of short stories by Polish-Jewish writer Bruno Schulz, and funded by the Polish Arts Council, this beautifully re-mastered edition dispenses with traditional narrative, fashioning an audiovisual mosaic that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. Set in the pre-World War II era, a young man named Joseph (Jan Nowicki - Tulips, Spirala) visits a strange dilapidated Sanatorium to see his dying father Jakob (Tadeusz Konrat - Adventure in Marienstadt, Zawilosci Uczuc). Upon arrival he finds a hospital crumbling into ruin, where time is slowed down in order to maintain his father's life signs. Joseph must venture through the many rooms of the sanatorium, each filled with sinister worlds conjured from his memories, dreams and nightmares.

Federico Fellini's most sumptuous and dark production, the daringly visual and imaginatively designed Casanova is renowned as one of the greatest films of the 1970s. Celebrated for its production values, costume design and Nino Rota's haunting score, Casanova charts the nobleman's search for happiness that leads his road to tragedy. Breaking through the myth of Giacomo Casanova, Donald Sutherland (MASH, The Hunger Games) portrays the notorious womaniser in his waning days, engaging in various amorous and political adventures. Casanova craves respect as a scholar and yearns to pursue his interest in alchemy. A sex scandal lands him in prison, but an escape to Paris provides him a new lease of life. Yet every court in Europe and its attendant patrons and hostesses will only entertain him if he lives up to his reputation in the ritual displays of sex and courtship which form part of the daily life of 18th Century Europe.
