Kino Lorber have dated and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of James Goldstone's
Swashbuckler (1975), starring Robert Shaw, James Earl Jones, Peter Boyle, Geneviève Bujold, and Beau Bridges. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on May 19.
Description: The year after Jaws, Robert Shaw (From Russia with Love) returned to dangerous waters—this time with Geneviève Bujold (Anne of the Thousand Days) and James Earl Jones (Star Wars)—in this lusty, rollicking pirate adventure! In the 18th-century Caribbean, after rescuing his friend Nick Debrett (Jones) from execution, swaggering buccaneer Red Ned Lynch (Shaw) comes to the aid of wronged noblewoman Jane Barnet (Bujold). The feisty lady is also good with a sword, and together the three attempt to free the citizens of Jamaica from the treacherous Lord Durant (Peter Boyle, Young Frankenstein). Beau Bridges (The Landlord) and Geoffrey Holder (Live and Let Die) also star in this high-spirited high-seas epic!
