Sean,
I'll check into the version you describe. I know Jonathan a little and he
has given me some rare tapes in the past (Kubrick's Fear & Desire, Welles'
Don Quixote). I have an issue of Video Watchdog around somewhere that
compares the different versions. I'll see if I can dig that up. I've only
seen the butchered US Mr. Arkadin and I'll admit I was disappointed.
Nag me if you don't hear back from me right away.
Sincerely,
Bryan Wendorf
Festival Director
