Maverick Queen (Blu-ray) ***Preorder*** 8/4

Brand New HD Master by Paramount Preservation – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative! Sensational Barbara Stanwyck tangles with Butch Cassidy and the treacherous Sundance Kid as Kit, the “Maverick Queen,” in this Zane Grey Western classic! A feisty saloonkeeper who stands above the law, Kit has allied herself with Butch Cassidy (Howard Petrie) and his “Wild Bunch” of outlaws. Though Sundance (Scott Brady), Butch’s sharp-shooting lieutenant, wildly pursues her affections, Kit has fallen for Jeff (Barry Sullivan), the gang’s mysterious new member. But Jeff is secretly a Pinkerton detective, acting undercover to infiltrate and destroy Cassidy’s Bunch. As Sundance’s suspicions and jealousy of Jeff become murderously aroused, Kit, whose allegiance is turned by love, triggers a final fiery shootout with the West’s most colorful and notorious outlaw gang! The Maverick Queen dazzles in blazing “Trucolor” and was the first film shot in Republic Pictures’ “Naturama” widescreen process, showcasing the gorgeous Western scenery.
