Kino Video has officially announced and detailed its upcoming Blu-ray releases of Alfred Hitchcock's Under Capricorn (1949) and John H. Auer's I, Jane Doe (1948). The two releases will be available for purchase in June.
I, Jane Doe
Synopsis: In this courtroom drama, a woman (Vera Ralston, Dakota) stands trial for murder. While stationed in France during World War II, a married American fighter pilot (John Carroll, Flying Tigers) commits bigamy and marries a local French girl (Ralston). After the end of the war, he disappears, returning back to the U.S. The war bride follows him to the U.S., finding him married to a successful lawyer (Ruth Hussey, The Uninvited). The bigamist tries to get her deported and in the ensuing argument, she accidently kills him. And to everyone's surprise, the man's widow decides to take on her case and defend her. Wonderfully directed by Republic Pictures veteran John H. Auer (City That Never Sleeps, Hell's Half Acre).
Technical Specs:
Under Capricorn
Synopsis: Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotten star is this lush melodrama directed by Master of Suspense Alfred Hitchcock. Cotten plays Sam Flusky, a native Briton banished to Australia for murder. Bergman is his wife, Henrietta, the disturbed sister of the man Flusky was convicted of killing. When a new governor arrives, he brings with him his cousin, Adare, an old friend of Henrietta's, who sets out to help her conquer her demons and return her life to normal. But there are complications: Is Henrietta going insane, or is someone trying to poison her? No one but Hitchcock could handle these questions with such surefire tension, and the performances the entire cast are excellent.
