Kino Lorber have dated and detailed their upcoming 3D Blu-ray release of Edward Ludwig's film
Sangaree (1953), starring Fernando Lamas, Arlene Dahl, Patricia Medina, Francis L. Sullivan, and Charles Korvin. The release will be available for purchase on September 25.
Synopsis: After the Revolutionary War, the dying General Darby (Lester Matthews, The Raven) bequeaths his Georgia plantation to Dr. Carlos Morales (Fernando Lamas, Jivaro), the son of an indentured servant who has been raised and educated by Darby. The general's daughter (Arlene Dahl, Journey to the Center of the Earth) tries to break her father's will in order to control the estate and stop the creation of a group of free medical clinics for the poor to be overseen by Carlos. The true culprits behind her opposition are her fiancé, Harvey Bristol (John Sutton, Jane Eyre), and his father, Dr. Bristol (Francis L. Sullivan, Joan of Arc), who have their eyes set on the Darby holdings. A plague outbreak in Savannah complicates matters further in Sangaree, the first three-dimensional film in Technicolor, directed by Hollywood veteran Edward Ludwig (Big Jim McLain).
Noteworthy as the first 3-D production from Paramount, the first 3-D film in Technicolor, the first 3-D film based on a best-selling novel, and the first 3-D film billed with an A-list cast.
