Kino Lorber have confirmed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of director Edward Dmytryk's western
Shalako (1968), starring Sean Connery, Brigitte Bardot, Stephen Boyd, Jack Hawkins, and Peter van Eyck. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this summer.
Synopsis: Saddle up for a raucous and "robust western adventure" (Variety) that packs "strong action" (Film & TV Daily) and the crackling chemistry of screen icons Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot! Based on the novel by Louis L'Amour, Shalako is a "handsome" (Variety), "rousing western" (Motion Picture Herald) that delivers nonstop thrills ... with both barrels blazing!
Gutsy, gun-slinging Shalako (Connery) is a loner who looks out for number one, until he finds himself rescuing - and falling for - a beautiful countess (Bardot) under attack by Apache Indians. But when Shalako discovers that the countess is part of a European hunting party that refuses to be led to safety, he must summon all his courage to fight the Apache and save the woman he loves... or die trying!
