Looks stunning.

[Hawkmonger]

I'm chomping at the bit for Blood and Black Lace (and Rollerball). But they will have to join the queue!

[JAMIOUSE]

Black Lace does look stunning, just think until Arrows releases we've had to contend with crappy washed out prints. Whatever Arrow do can only be an improvement over past releases.

"Time for us to reveal the final specs for our The Long Good Friday + Mona Lisa boxset!

Release Date: 4th May 2015
Format: Dual Format Blu-ray + DVD
Starring: Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren, Dave King
Directed by: John Mackenzie

Synopsis:WHO LIT THE FUSE THAT TORE HAROLD’S WORLD APART?

Harold Shand (Bob Hoskins) is a businessman with great ambitions. Spotting the development potential of London’s derelict Docklands area years before the Thatcher government, he tries to broker a deal with his American counterpart (Eddie Constantine) that will make them both millions. But who is killing Harold’s other associates and blowing up his businesses – and why?

Universally regarded as one of the greatest British gangster films ever made, The Long Good Friday rocketed Hoskins to international stardom. He’s given sterling support from Helen Mirren (as his upper-crust mistress), Paul Freeman (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and Derek Thompson (Casualty), and there’s even an early appearance from future James Bond Pierce Brosnan.
This special limited edition also includes Mona Lisa, Hoskins’ return to the gangster genre – although the kingpin here is played by a mesmerisingly slimy Michael Caine, with Hoskins merely George the chauffeur, transporting high-class prostitute (Cathy Tyson) from client to client. But when she enlists his help in tracking down an old friend, George finds himself exploring a hellish underworld that he never imagined existed.
