The Proud Rebel (1958) - RESTORATION IN PROGRESS

We will be restoring The Proud Rebel (1958) and releasing it on Blu-ray and DVD. Starring Alan Ladd (Shane), Olivia de Havilland (The Heiress) and Dean Jagger (Twelve O'Clock High), the Technicolor Western was helmed by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) and produced by Samuel Goldwyn, Jr. (Man With a Gun).
The film also features a young David Ladd (Alan's son), as well as Cecil Kellaway, Henry Hull and Harry Dean Stanton.
Extras will include an interview with David Ladd shot this year and conducted by Alan Rode. Rode will also be doing an audio commentary for the film.
About the material: The Proud Rebel scan we have acquired is in 4K and from an IB Tech print. It has some inherent flaws, but will be, by far, the best presentation of this beloved western once we're done restoring it. The clip is from our first restoration pass and it shows the relative sharpness of the material. The clean up thus far has been very minimal and there is a long way to go. No color grading was done on the clip, either.
Release is expected later this year or early next.
