VCI Home Entertainment will bring to Blu-ray a brand new 4K restoration of William Desmond Taylor's Johanna Enlists (1918), starring Mary Pickford, Anne Schaefer, Fred Huntley, Monte Blue, and Douglas MacLean. The release will be available for purchase on July 11.
Description: Johanna Enlists is a strikingly different and very personal war story. Instead of the guns, cannons and Huns audiences were getting used to in 1918, Mary plays a young woman living quietly with her family on an isolated farm, wondering how she will ever meet a potential husband. When an entire battalion of soldiers march in to be bivouacked on the land, the war is brought home and she suddenly is faced with a wide choice of suitors.
Johanna Enlists served as an important means of encouraging enlistments that were still needed even as the film was released only a few months before the war's end. Presented in partnership with the Mary Pickford Foundation.
