STUDIOCANAL announce an incredible brand-new restoration of Soldier Blue, as part of the Cult Classics Collection, available on 15th July on DVD, Blu-Ray and collectable 4K UHD SteelBook. We are giving away a Steelbook to celebrate!
A naive cavalry officer (Peter Strauss) and a resourceful young woman (Candice Bergen) survive a Native American attack and have to make their way home through the wilderness. As they face the hardships of the journey, the couple fall in love, only to witness a horrific bloodbath as the U.S. Cavalry takes revenge upon their enemy, in a battle that became notorious for its brutality.
The film, based on actual events, is a quintessentially gritty and bloody 70s revisionist western, starring Candice Bergen (Carnal Knowledge), Peter Strauss (Rich Man, Poor Man), and Donald Pleasence (Wake In Fright). As well as a collectable 4K UHD SteelBook, the film is released on Blu-ray and DVD with superb new sleeve art by Tony Stella.
Based on the novel by T.V. Olsen (writer of the Gregory Peck western The Stalking Moon), who used the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre as a basis for the story, SOLDIER BLUE was directed by Ralph Nelson (Oscar-nominated for Lilies of the Field). Released in 1970 with the tagline ‘The most savage film in history!’, the New York Times declared it “a staggeringly powerful magnificent film… a movie of great art and courage”.
