U.S. label ClassicFlix has confirmed that it is finalizing a new remaster of director Stuart Heisler's classic western Along Came Jones (1945), starring Gary Cooper, Loretta Young, William Demarest, Dan Duryea, and Frank Sully. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
The label has also provided a few stills from the new remaster, which can be seen below.
Synopsis: Screen legends Gary Cooper (High Noon) and Loretta Young (Lady from Cheyenne) saddle up for an action-packed comedy/western that's "loaded with laughs" (Variety). With inspired performances and lively direction, Along Came Jones hits the bull's-eye for classic western entertainment.
Melody Jones (Cooper) is a mild-mannered cowpoke who barely knows the difference between a six-shooter and a carbine rifle, but when he rides into Paynesville, he immediately commands the respect - and fear - of the entire town. The locals believe he's the notorious Monte Jarrad (Dan Duryea), a ruthless outlaw who's been terrorizing the frontier with his daring robberies and lightning-fast draw. At first, Jones enjoys his newfound fame, but that quickly ends when he finds himself the target of a bloodthirsty posse, a determined private investigator, Jarrad's double-crossed partners and the most dangerous enemy of all: Jarrad himself!
