Criterion has announced an October 14th street date for the 1946 Western, My Darling Clementine, on a newly restored DVD (2-disc) and Blu-Ray.

The John Ford classic was released on DVD by 20th Century Fox a decade ago, then as part of several box sets including Ford at Fox, The Essential John Ford collection in 2007 and last year's Henry Fonda Set.

A few fascinating bonus features are planned to accompany the sets including the 103-minute director's preview cut that was included in the Ford at Fox set (below).

NOTE: Since last September, Criterion had only released DVD / Blu-Ray combo packs; however, since last month's announcement of The Innocents, home video's premiere label has shunned the costly combined sets for separate releases.

BONUS FEATURES:

• New 4K digital restoration of the theatrical release version of the film, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
• High-definition presentation of the 103-minute prerelease version of the film
• New audio commentary featuring John Ford biographer Joseph McBride
• New interview with western historian Andrew C. Isenberg about the real Wyatt Earp
• Comparison of the two versions by the UCLA Film & Television Archive's Robert Gitt
• New video essay by Ford scholar Tag Gallagher
• A Bandit's Wager, a 1916 short costarring Ford and directed by his brother, Francis Ford, featuring new music composed and performed by Donald Sosin
• NBC broadcast reports from 1963 and 1975 about the history of Tombstone and Monument Valley
• Lux Radio Theatre adaptation from 1947 starring Henry Fonda and Cathy Downs
