Kino just announced Irma for a Blu-ray release.
Ha, mine arrived today & I had a quick zoom through it. The picture does look stunning, & those rich colours! A few blobs here & there, you'd think MGM would do a complete clean-up, but that's MGM for you.
I'm not at all sold that this is from the new 4K - I'll be very interested to see the new Kino. This has no discernible grain at all, the titles are weaving like crazy (as are the little scenes that happen within them) and there are specs throughout that I'd venture to say wouldn't be there in a new 4K cleanup. If I had to hazard a guess, this is a previous HD transfer - and the color is terrific and it doesn't look bad at all and certainly lots better than the DVD, but I'd be VERY surprised if this is the new 4K.

At the very least, a nomination was in order.[...]By the way, Shirley absolutely breaks my heart in Sweet Charity. Love her in that.
