Was going to order the Carlotta Blu-ray at a cost of almost $30 at Amazon UK but I will wait for the price to go down or wait for Criterion to re-release on Blu-ray. Saw the DVD BEAVER screen shots too and liked what I saw.

Have a link below to a Ebay seller in France who is currently selling Carlotta's Blu-ray Dossier Secret A.K.A. Mr. Arkadin at $14.81 and free shipping. There are currently 7 available and the seller has a 100% rating so I will buy it at that great price.

TCM did a broadcast of Mr. Arkadin this morning and I decided to do a comparison to my Criterion dvd box set and the Carlotta Blu-ray (Dossier Secret). TCM was showing the Comprehensive version and it looked just as good as the Blu-ray in sharpness and contrast. I hope Criterion will release a Blu-ray upgrade but for now the Carlotta Blu-ray is a good option to see the movie.

HD versions of all three Criterion-released edits are now available on the newly-launched Criterion Channel streaming service (in North America). Most, if not all, of the box set extras are available to stream as well (not certain if the radio shows are available).

Thanks Roger on the info about the Criterion streaming service. Will look at that site for other Criterion titles not released on Blu-ray.
