Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Henry Levin's
The Lonely Man (1957), starring Jack Palance, Anthony Perkins, Neville Brand, Robert Middleton, and Elisha Cook Jr. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on November 19.
Description: Based on a 1941 movie entitled Shepherd of the Hills, this is the story of a gunfighter who decides to return home after 17 years to make amends with his son. The son blames him for his mother's death and the reconciliation is difficult. Although there are many side action lines -- old enemies still gunning for him and new friends not sure who to root for -- the main theme is that of the interaction between father and son. The push toward one last battle is made secondary.
