“Ride the Pink Horse” will be released on March 17, 2015, with the following special features (according to Criterion’s website):

A fine actor and a classy man. That’s the way Andrea King remembered him.
“And so handsome!” she was quick to add.
Andrea had the pleasure of working with James on “Maverick” in an episode entitled “Two Tickets to Ten Strike,” and they both appeared in the feature film “Darby’s Rangers” from Warner Bros. This was one of his first leading roles on the big screen, and although they shared no scenes together, Andrea visited with him at length while on the set. He was a bit nervous about the project, but very excited, too.
Turner Classic Movies will be airing a day-long tribute to James Garner, including the film “Darby’s Rangers” with Andrea King.
Here’s the announced lineup (all times are East Coast):
6:00 AM Toward the Unknown
8:00 AM Shoot-out at Medicine Bend

Although it hasn’t been released on DVD in the United States yet, Universal’s “Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid” is swimming to the surface on Blu-ray Disc via Olive Films on July 8, 2014!
Andrea King gives a delightful performance as nightclub singer Cathy Livingston, who tries to woo Mr. Peabody (William Powell) as he struggles with midlife crisis and the notion that a mermaid (Ann Blyth) has fallen in love with him.
You can find a very good advance review of this release on DVDbeaver.com. No special features, but the audio and video quality (check out the terrific screen captures) seem to be excellent!
Happy shopping!
