Kino Lorber are preparing a Blu-ray release of Otto Preminger's
The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell (1955), starring Gary Cooper, Charles Bickford, Ralph Bellamy, Rod Steiger, and Elizabeth Montgomery. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Description: U.S. Col. Billy Mitchell (Gary Cooper) is a decorated World War I veteran airman frustrated by the military's mistreatment of the flying program. With military brass and many in the government still favoring battleships, Mitchell sees funding cut to aviation, resulting in the unnecessary deaths of pilots. When Mitchell publicly accuses his superiors of ineptitude, he is court-martialed. At the trial, Congressman Frank Reid (Ralph Bellamy) advises Mitchell, who faces Maj. Guillion (Rod Steiger).
