"The Complete Mr. Arkadian" - (Criterion) Any HTF Reviews? (1 Viewer)

[howardWB]

Couldn't find a thread about this new Criterion release here. Read some reviews on Amazon and DVD Beaver. Wondering though, if someone could post a full HTF review, as I appreciate the details on the reviews here most.
If I missed a thread on this, please post the link.

Thanking in advance!

Regards,
Howard

I believe you didn't find the thread because you misspelled "Arkadin" (happens to the best of us). Robert Harris has weighed in here: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...d.php?t=232139
though there's been no official HTF review so far (is an HTF reviewer assigned to Criterion? I can't recall).

If you are a fan of the film or of Welles then order it right now; it's awesome.

Just picked this set up for a very good price as a blind bye. What order do you all recommend that I should view the three versions of the film?

Thanking in advance!

Heck...it's just one of my favorite obscure movies.....

You get all known English speaking versions and the paperback novel, plus as many extras as Criterion has ever done to a single project.

Absolutely worth your dollars.....

Personally I'd go for the new "comprehensive" version first, if you haven't seen the film before.

I second that...you can't go wrong with the comprehensive version. After that, the others are good for educational purposes.

Excellent film, warts and all. One of Welles' best that I've seen.
