Vinegar Syndrome's Etiquette Pictures has announced that it plans to release on Blu-ray acclaimed actor Patrick McGoohan's sole feature directorial effort, his 1973 adaptation of Jack Good's
Othello-inspired musical,
Catch My Soul.
Etiquette has restored this lost rock opera, which stars Richie Havens, Lance LeGault, Tony Joe White, Susan Tyrrell and Season Hubley, from its original 35mm camera negative and will be releasing it on November 22 in a deluxe Blu-ray/DVD combo pack.
Extra features, which have been co-produced by Samuel B. Prime, will include newly shot interviews with the films co-star Tony Joe White, executive producer Charles Fries (
Cat People, Flowers in the Attic), associate producer Huw Davies, and the daughter of the film's Academy Award-winning cinematographer, Conrad Hall (
American Beauty, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid). Additional extras will be announced as they are completed.
Ryan Emerson, co-founder of Etiquette Pictures, is looking forward to giving new audiences the opportunity to appreciate this forgotten piece of transgressive, early 70s cinema, saying: "
Catch My Soul was a deeply personal project for its director, McGoohan, writer, Good, and producer, Fries. It's extremely exciting to finally bring this unjustly lost film to home video."
