Criterion has announced a May 25th release date for Stagecoach (1939) in both a standard 2-disc DVD set and single disc Blu-Ray release.

Previously released in 2006 in a 2-disc special edition by Warner, new rights holder Criterion is, well, giving Stagecoach the Criterion treatment as bonus features are plenty (below) and all new.

SYNOPSIS:
This is where it all started. John Ford’s smash hit and enduring masterpiece Stagecoach revolutionized the western, elevating it from B movie to the A-list. The quintessential tale of a group of strangers thrown together into extraordinary circumstances—traveling a dangerous route from Arizona to New Mexico—Stagecoach features outstanding performances from Hollywood stalwarts Claire Trevor, John Carradine, Thomas Mitchell, and, of course, John Wayne, in his first starring role for Ford, as the daredevil outlaw the Ringo Kid. Superbly shot and tightly edited, Stagecoach (Ford’s first trip to Monument Valley) is Hollywood storytelling at its finest.
