I'll be buying El Paso, but this one (The Last Command) is far higher on my list. Really looking forward to seeing 3-color Trucolor with 4K restoration. I hope to hear more about the process of this restoration.
I've never seen The Last Command, and in the past couple years it seems to have taken on legendary status -- Any movie brave enough to cast Arthur Hunnicutt as Davy Crockett (likely looking more like the real guy than Fess Parker or John Warner) has my interest.
Coming January 8th!

Ruth Bennett (Barbara Stanwyck, Witness to Murder, The Lady Eve) has inherited an old house in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Amish country. She moves into the house with her niece, Sara Dunning (Kitty Winn, The Panic in Needle Park, The Exorcist). The house was built before the Revolutionary War and is said to be haunted by the spirits of its original inhabitants. With the help of Pat McDougal (Richard Egan, The 300 Spartans, GOG), a local professor, and one of his students, Stan Whitman (Michael Anderson Jr., The Sons of Katie Elder, Major Dundee), they delve into the history of the house and find a scandal that involves a Revolutionary War general, who was suspected of being a traitor, and his daughter, who had disappeared after eloping with her boyfriend, a young British soldier. The spirits of the general and his daughter take possession of Pat's and Sara's bodies and a dark secret is revealed. Directed by legendary TV-movie director John Llewellyn Moxey (The Night Stalker, Home for the Holidays) and with a teleplay by the great Henry Farrell (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte).

Given that pedigree, I may have to make this a blind buy.Directed by legendary TV-movie director John Llewellyn Moxey (The Night Stalker, Home for the Holidays) and with a teleplay by the great Henry Farrell (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte).
Thomas,Wow! Kino has done it again. I have a German DVD but it's a lousy transfer that I can now replace. I never thought I'd see this on blu.
Thomas, How much is Stanwyck in this film?
Thank you as I just wanted to make sure as Stanwyck is my all-time favorite actress.Stanwyck is the lead and she looks great in her Nolan Miller costumes. It's your standard haunted house vehicle and to be honest, it's one of the weaker entries. But Stanwyck is always worth watching and hopefully the spiffed up 2K transfer will make it a more enjoyable watch.

I don't understand that either since Winn is listed fourth in the credits and "The Exorcist" came three years later.Yeah, it's odd that Kitty Winn rather than Stanwyck is featured on the blu ray cover (assuming it's the final artwork) as Stanwyck is a legendary star. Winn did co-star in The Exorcist so maybe that's why they went with her rather than Stanwyck. Well, at least we can agree that Stanwyck is a great actress (sorry I couldn't resist).
