It's just come to my attention that Criterion in the US are upgrading Anthony Mann's The Furies (1950) to Blu-ray, it's due out in April.
This is an impressive if imperfect work, the western, film noir and melodrama converging in Anthony Mann's movie, adapted from the Niven Busch novel. I wrote about the film here almost nine years ago (now that's a sobering thought!) and it's good to hear it's getting reissued in high definition. Unfortunately, I'm locked in to Region B for Blu-ray but I'd like to think it might come on the market in Europe, maybe via Eureka if not Criterion's UK division.
