I'm rather certain that I at least registered that Shout Factory was putting The Seven-Per-Cent Solution on Blu-ray today. It may have subconsciously driven my posting of Holmesian editions of this feature late last week.

Three years ago, I wrote a piece (for a now-deprecated feature) wishing that the screen adaptaion of Nicholas Meyer's apocryphal Holmes novel would come back into print on DVD at least, if not Blu-ray.

Nicol Williamson (Excalibur) plays the Great Detective, Robert Duvall plays one of the best screen Watsons (not joking), Laurence Olivier is kindly math professor Moriarty, and none other than Alan Arkin plays Sigmund Freud.

The Blu-ray/DVD Combo edition runs $25 on Amazon, and includes a freshly-recorded, 20ish-minute interview with Nicholas Meyer. If you're any sort of Holmes fan, just get the thing. I found a single copy in one store in Austin, so Amazon is your best bet.

I'm writing a review to go up on Ain't It Cool. I'm thrilled that this one is back out in the world.
