Warner Archive: New 4K Restoration of Waterloo Bridge Heading to Blu-ray

Warner Archive has announced that it will release on Blu-ray Mervyn LeRoy's film Waterloo Bridge (1940), starring Vivien Leigh, Robert Taylor, Lucile Watson, Virginia Field, and Maria Ouspenskaya. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.

Synopsis: Myra and Roy meet and fall in love on Waterloo Bridge during an air raid. Their love will be one of the war's unspoken casualties. Heartbroken after Roy is reportedly killed in action, Myra turns to prostitution to make her way. The report, however, is false. Roy later returns from a POW camp, eager to begin life anew with his beloved. But Myra's shattered spirit may no longer hold any room for happiness. Vivien Leigh plays Myra, at once winning and breaking viewers' hearts in this exquisite melodrama. In a compassionate performance that was his all-time favorite, Robert Taylor is gallant Roy. Under Mervyn LeRoy's astute direction, they make Waterloo Bridge a meeting place for lovers.
