Coming from Twilight Time on August 15, 2017, is the classic 1958 drama The Long, Hot Summer, based on the William Faulkner short stories.

From a new 4K master created by Fox. This will be a limited edition of 3000 units.

Modified Synopsis from IMDb:
Accused barn burner and con man Ben Quick (Paul Newman) arrives in a small Mississippi town and quickly ingratiates himself with its richest family, the Varners. Sixty-one year old widower Will Varner (Orson Welles), in ill health, owns many businesses and property in Frenchman's Bend, Mississippi, including a plantation. To him, his children are a disappointment, who he sees as not being able to carry on the Varner name in the style to which he has built around it.

Directed by Marin Ritt (Hombre, The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, and many more) and starring a cast of Hollywood legends including
Paul Newman (Hombre, The Hustler, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Cool Hand Luke),
Joanne Woodward (The Three Faces of Eve, The Fugitive Kind, Paris Blues),
Orson Welles (The Third Man, Chimes at Midnight),
Anthony Franciosa (A Face in the Crowd, Tenebrae),
Lee Remick (Anatomy of a Murder, Experiment in Terror),
and Angela Lansbury (Samson and Delilah, The Manchurian Candidate).

If you are going to create threads, then do them correctly with useful information. Throwing up a stub pointing to another website and leaving it just to be first to create a thread is not acceptable.

Typically Twilight Time announces the pre-order date, cover art, and special features one month prior to release date, so sometime around mid-July. I will update here when that happens. You can also check the main Twilight Time thread (first post has updated release information and order links).

So this really is from a new master, not the Italian release reviewed on this site?

I can't find that information, but based on reviews, this must be a new master. It's a beautiful presentation.

ps still available @14.95 https://www.twilighttimemovies.com/l...r-the-blu-ray/
I'm giving the link since their website search engine is not finding it - even with the comma after Long, even using their listed title "Long, Hot Summer, The" :-)

The reason why it's not showing up is because it's sold out on TT's site. It is still available at SAE:
