Cinema Retro has received the following press release:
First 4K Ultra HD in the Paramount Presents Line Debuts May 17, 2022
with New and Legacy Bonus Content
One
of the greatest Westerns in cinematic history arrives for the first
time ever on 4K Ultra HD with High Dynamic Range (HDR) as part of the
Paramount Presents line when THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE debuts May 17, 2022 from Paramount Home Entertainment.
Four-time Academy Award®-winning*
director John Ford brought together an all-star cast for what is
considered by many critics to be a quintessential—and yet
pioneering—Western late in his storied career. Starring James Stewart
and John Wayne (together for the first time), alongside Vera Miles, Lee
Marvin, John Carradine and Lee Van Cleef, THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE
tells the engrossing story of a senator (Stewart), his old friend
(Wayne), and a despicable outlaw called Liberty Valance (Marvin).
THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE was
selected in 2007 for preservation in the United States National Film
Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically,
or aesthetically significant.” Adapted from a short story by Dorothy
M. Johnson, the screenplay by James Warner Bellah and Willis Goldbeck
gave us the often-quoted line “When the legend becomes fact, print the
legend.”
Meticulously remastered in stunning 4K Ultra HD for its 60th anniversary this year, THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE
is presented in collectible packaging featuring a foldout image of the
film’s original theatrical poster and an interior spread with key movie
moments. The release also includes access to a Digital copy of the film
