Boasting 'pristine audio and video...and an abundance of exciting bonus material,' Olive Films has announced the next two titles in their new Criterion-esque Signature series: the 1952 John Wayne romantic drama The Quiet Man and 1966's The Night of the Grizzly.
Both were originally released by Olive in 2013 but will be receiving new 4K restorations. Bonus features to the DVD and Blu-Ray are below.
The Quiet Man and The Night of the Grizzly will be available on October 25th.
The Quiet Man
Sean Thornton (John Wayne), an American boxer with a tragic past, returns to the Irish town of his youth. There, he purchases his childhood home and falls in love with the fiery local lass, Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara).
But Kate's insistence that Sean conduct his courtship in a proper Irish manner with matchmaker Michaleen Oge Flynn (Barry Fitzgerald) along for the ride as chaperone is but one obstacle to their future together; the other is her brother, 'Red' Danaher (Victor McLaglen), who spitefully refuses to give his consent to their marriage, or to honor the tradition of paying a dowry to the husband. Sean couldn't care less about dowries or any other tradition that might stand in the way of his happiness. But when Mary Kate accuses him of being a coward, Sean is finally ready to take matters into his own hands.
The Quiet Man would go on to win two Academy Awards in 1953, including Best Director and Best Cinematography and received five more nominations including Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor.
BONUS FEATURES:
The Night of the Grizzly
Adventure is the name of the game in the action-packed, western-tinged The Night of the Grizzly.
Clint Walker stars as 'Big Jim' Cole, a former lawman who trades his badge for rancher duds when he inherits land in Wyoming. But no sooner has the Cole family begun settling into their new life when nature - in the form of a blood-thirsty grizzly bear - rears its ugly head. Adding to the terror and tension are a group of envious neighbors who want the Cole property for themselves, and the unwelcome return of an outlaw from Big Jim's past who's out for revenge.
Directed by Joseph Pevney, The Night of the Grizzly features a who's-who of great character actors including Keenan Wynn, Jack Elam, Leo Gordon and Ron Ely.
