The Film Detective has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of John Sturges' The Capture (1950), starring Lew Ayres, Teresa Wright, Victor Jory, Jimmy Hunt, Barry Kelley, William Bakewell, and Frank Matts. Currently, the release is set to arrive on the market on January 18.

Also included with this article is an exclusive new trailer for the upcoming release.

Description: From writer Niven Busch, the author of Duel in the Sun, comes an equally torrid sizzler, loaded with the intrigue and passion that marked the golden age of cinema. Cast with strong performers, this story of guilt and forbidden love still packs a jolt. Injured and on the run from police, Lin Vanner (Lew Ayres) confesses the sordid details of his life to a priest, which includes the death of a man he'd turned over to the police. Vanner also reveals that he fell in love with the dead man's widow (Teresa Wright), only to have his past catch up to him. Haunting and offbeat, The Capture (1950) was directed by one of Hollywood's best, John Sturges (The Great Escape).
