Warner Archive has added one more title to its April batch of Blu-ray releases: Anthony Mann'sDevil's Doorway (1950), starring Robert Taylor, Louis Calhern, Paula Raymond, Marshall Thompson, and James Mitchell. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on April 30.
Description: Shoshone tribesman and Civil War hero Lance Poole (Robert Taylor) returns home with a Congressional Medal of Honor on his chest and a saddlebag full of dreams about prospering as a cattleman on his family's land. But Native Americans have no citizenship, no property rights. The courts, despite the efforts of Lane's attorney (Paula Raymond) offer no remedy. Lance and his people must fight to keep their land. Devil's Doorway, the first of the several groundbreaking Westerns by master auteur filmmaker Anthony Mann (The Naked Spur) is one of the earliest films sympathetic to the plight of Native Americans, standing alongside the same year's Broken Arrow. Perhaps not coincidentally, Lane Poole's tribal name is Broken Lance.
