Sherlock Holmes Collection Gift Set?

For December pre-order here:

http://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-Holme...d=RZBUHVL45BBB

Says starring Robert Stephens, Colin Blakely and Christopher Lee.

MGM, 2 discs, 319 Minutes.

The only film, that I know of, that has these three in it is The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970) which was previously released by MGM (and the DVD is available at Amazon) and is listed at 125 minutes, on 1 disc.

Does anyone have any info on this new release?

Restored? Lots of extras? Other?

I searched Google but no luck.

Thanks,

James

It's this, but I would guess it's existing releases repackaged:

Thanks!

The only, that I can find, Hound of the Baskervilles from MGM is a comedy with Peter Cook so not worth waiting for this set for me.

Actually, the Hound of the Baskervilles they are most likely referencing is the Hammer production from '59, with Peter Cushing as Holmes. MGM has had the rights to this forever and released the single disc back in 2002.

I have that one on the way anyway so it would be a double dip. Will by Private Life by itself.

I believe the previous Hammer Hound release was non-anamorphic. I wonder if ...

Cool. I have the Hound release (fun movie), liked Without a Clue, and was thinking about buying the third one. Guess I'll add this to my want list.
