Kino Lorber will release on Blu-ray John Sturges'
The Hallelujah Trail (1965), starring Burt Lancaster, Lee Remick, Jim Hutton, Pamela Tiffin, and Donald Pleasence. The release will be available for purchase on December 13.
Description: As the winter of 1867 approaches, Denver inhabitants led by chronic drunk Oracle Jones (Donald Pleasence), who has visions when inebriated, realize with horror that their supply of whiskey will run out before the snows melt. Oracle devises a plan to bring cases of whiskey from a distillery, but is thwarted at every turn. A temperance leader (Lee Remick), three Sioux Indians, and the U.S. Cavalry become interested in the shipment, and a sandstorm and quicksand add to the difficulties.
