Vinegar Syndrome's sublabel Cinématographe will issue a standard 4K Blu-ray edition of Jack Nicholson's Goin' South (1978), starring Jack Nicholson, Mary Steenburgen, Christopher Lloyd, John Belushi, and Veronica Cartwright. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on August 27.
Description: Henry Moon (Jack Nicholson, Chinatown) is a cut-rate outlaw in post-Civil War Texas, convicted of bank robbery and property theft. Moon is sentenced to death by hanging in the town of Longhorn, a town that maintains an ordinance allowing for any condemned man to be freed from the gallows via marriage. Julia Tate (Mary Steenburgen, Clifford), a quiet virginal young woman with a secret gold mine, saves Moon from the gallows in an attempt to exploit him for free labor. With Moon intent on consummating his marriage to a virgin bride and Tate seeking to mine her hidden fortune, the two embark on an equally combative, comedic, relationship in the Old West.
The sophomore feature directorial effort from Jack Nicholson, following his counterculture comedy Drive, He Said in 1971, GOIN' SOUTH is a commonly overlooked entry in Nicholson's repertoire as an actor and filmmaker. Featuring gorgeous photography from noted cinematographer Néstor Almendros (Days of Heaven) and a talented comedic cast including John Belushi (Animal House), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Danny DeVito (Wise Guys) and Ed Begley Jr. (Blue Collar), Cinématographe is proud to present Jack Nicholson's wild western comedy on Blu-ray and 4KBlu-ray for the first time in the world from a brand new 4K restoration of its original camera negative!
