Warner's June 2022 4K is from a new restoration of George Stevens' 1956 Texas epic, native 4K HDR10 in the original 1.66:1 framing. The Edna Ferber adaptation runs over three hours and Warner's bitrate shows it on a single BD-100 disc. The Mexican color and Giffin Reata sky shots get the dynamic range they were graded for.

Warner's 4K steelbook got mixed reactions on the artwork. Collectors wanted classic poster designs instead of the modern illustrated look. The disc itself rated well, and the standalone 4K arrived alongside Cool Hand Luke and The Maltese Falcon as part of Warner's classic catalog push.
