Criterion has announced a May 14th release date for standard DVD and Blu-Ray versions of 3:10 to Yuma (1957) and Jubal (1956).
Both are directed by Delmer Daves and star Glenn Ford (and also feature Felicia Farr). Bonus features are minimal (below).
In this beautifully shot and acted, psychologically complex western, Van Heflin is a mild-mannered cattle rancher who takes on the task of shepherding a captured outlaw, played with cucumber-cool charisma by Glenn Ford, to the train that will take him to prison. This apparently simple plan turns into a nerve-racking cat-and-mouse game that will test each man’s particular brand of honor.
Based on a story by Elmore Leonard, 3:10 to Yuma is a thrilling Western with plenty of action and directed with intense feeling and precision by the supremely talented studio filmmaker Delmer Daves.
BONUS FEATURES:
- New interviews with author Elmore Leonard and Glenn Ford’s son and biographer, Peter Ford
- PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Kent Jones
A trio of exceptional performances from Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine, and Rod Steiger form the center of Jubal, an overlooked Hollywood treasure from genre master Delmer Daves.
In this Shakespearean tale of jealousy and betrayal, Ford is an honorable itinerant cattleman, befriended and hired by Borgnine’s bighearted ranch owner despite his unwillingness to talk about his past. When the new hand becomes the target of the flirtatious attentions of the owner’s bored wife (Valerie French) and is entrusted by the boss with a foreman’s responsibilities, his presence at the ranch starts to rankle his shifty fellow cowhand, played by Steiger.
The resulting emotional showdown imparts unparalleled psychology intensity to this western, a vivid melodrama featuring expressive location photography in Technicolor and CinemaScope.
Includes a booklet featuring an essay by critic Kent Jones.
