I'd expect it to be from the BFI as they released the dvd.

I was hoping it may have been his 80's Holmes gig, Masks of Death etc.

I also have the DVD edition, and don't see how a BR release would improve much on it, really.

Now, Masks of Death would be a fantastic release. I wanted to watch it for so long, and ages ago had to buy a bootleg of it from one of those rare movie dealers on the web. It's so bittersweet.

Okay, so this is actually out now. It's got favorable reviews over on CHFB.
Now the big question. Dip in for this release or hold out to see if Warner Archive put a disc out.
