More from the Republic library via Olive Films as they have announced Pursued (1947) for release on both standard DVD and Blu-Ray.

Streeting on August 21st, the debuting Blu-Ray will have a special pre-order price of $17.98 until Sunday.


Considered Hollywood’s first “western noir," Pursued was written by Niven Busch (Duel in the Sun) and co-stars Robert Mitchum (Out of the Past) as Jeb, a man emotionally scarred by his tragic past and inner demons.

Judith Anderson (Rebecca) plays Mrs. Callum, a widow who rescues Jeb when he was a child and raises him as her own with her two biological children. Making Jeb’s life even more complicated is the fact that he and his adopted sister, Thorley (Teresa Wright, Shadow of a Doubt) fall in love with each other, while his adopted brother, Adam (John Rodney) has come to hate him.

Dean Jagger plays Grant, a one-armed stranger who seems bent on tormenting Jeb, Alan Hale plays Jake Dingle, a casino owner who becomes Jeb’s business partner and Harry Carey, Jr. plays Prentice, a young man in love with Thorley.

Pursued features gorgeous black-and-white cinematography by James Wong Howe, rousing musical score by Max Steiner (Casablanca) and great direction by legendary director Raoul Walsh (White Heat).

SYNOPSIS:
The most decorated American soldier of World War II, Audie Murphy parlayed his heroic exploits on the battlefield into a successful film career in Hollywood. His handsome, boyish appearance and shy, soft-spoken manner made him an appealing and uniquely different kind of action hero which provided an intriguing contrast to his athletic skill and quiet intensity.

While Murphy was lauded for his fine performances in John Huston's The Red Badge of Courage (1951) and his own film autobiography To Hell and Back (1955), the actor's real claim to fame was his convincing embodiment as a movie archetype - the strong, resilient man of the West.

Of the 44 films that he made, more than half of them were westerns. The Audie Murphy Westerns Collection presents four of his best entries in this popular genre, each digitally remastered.

It will retail for $29.99, but is available at ClassicFlix.com for only $23.99. Bonus features (below) will carry over from the 2-disc standard def release.


SYNOPSIS:
At the height of World War II, the 918 Bomb Group suffers devastating losses and Brigadier General Frank Savage (Gregory Peck) is sent to take command. Because of his strong discipline his men resent him, and although Savage remains impersonal under heavy attack and un-relenting firefights, he becomes personally involved in their well being - a dangerous position for any leader - especially in the middle of a war!

"One of the most honest and powerful war pictures" (Life) of all time, this "thrilling, dramatic thunderbolt" (The Hollywood Reporter) "soars right up into the bright blue yonder" (Los Angeles Times)! Blending "thrilling action" with "personal drama brought to heroic heights" (The New York Times), this winner of two Academy Awards stars Gregory Peck in "the best performance of his career" (Look), a role which earned him a Best Actor Oscar nomination!

BONUS FEATURES:

• Commentary with Historians Rudy Belmer, Jon Burlingame and Nick Redman
• Featurette: Memories of Twelve O'Clock High
• Featurette: WWII and the American Home Front
• Featurette: Inspiring a Character - General Frank A. Armstrong
• Featurette: The Pilots of the Eighth Air Force
