has any one seen, or have the spanish arkadin?

i tried searching for it on a few international dvd grinders' sites, but no luck.

Jaime I have seen the full spanish Arkadin many years ago. If I remember well it should be the same version of Corinth, but I could be wrong. Every detail of that you can find on the excellent book by Esteve Riambau, ORSON WELLES UNA ESPANA IMMORTAL, edited in Spain in 1993 for Ediciones Documents Filmoteca (number 3). Two chapters are for MR. ARKADIN.
What is very well noticeable are the actresses changed: Irene Lopez Heredia in the role of Katina Paxinou and Amparo Rivelles in the role of Suzanne Flon. In the titles Robert Arden in called BOB HARDEN and the beginning aphorisma is attributed to Plutarco!
I should have somewhere an old vhs only related to the different parts. I'll let you know.
Forget my english!

your english is fine. thank you very much for the info. i used to be able to read fluent spanish, don't think i can any more so the book might be tough. i would be very interested in knowing if you find the video.

any ideas how i can find dvd sellers from spain? i had a hard time with that.
