Kino Lorber will reissue on Blu-ray Billy Wilder's
Witness for the Prosecution (1957), starring Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, and John Williams. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on February 6.
Description: The affable Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) is being tried for the murder of a wealthy woman, and legendary lawyer Sir Wilfrid Robarts (Charles Laughton) has chosen to represent him. Unfortunately, Leonard's alibi depends on the testimony of his callous wife, Christine (Marlene Dietrich) -- who, after the discovery of a legal loophole, makes the shocking decision to appear in court against him. To Sir Wilfrid's surprise, this is only the first in a series of puzzling revelations and reversals.
