Cannot wait for this one. This channel reminds me of staying over my nana's house when i was very young and she let me stay up and watch Twilight Zone and the Late Late Movie with her. ❤

I really enjoy this film noir with many talented actors. Thanks CCC!

I love this one, even though there are quite a few versions floating around and though I've seen this film many times, I'm not sure which version I was watching. I've always thought this was like a student film made by a master. Of course, anything by Welles is crucial.

I love the arty camera work n settings are visually powerful and some great dialouge Film is more than linear

This is a gem!
Mr. Arkadin, ORSON WELLES.
Great upload, CCC!

[TheRickie]

To me, one of the best movies ever made.

Yunz can't fool me.
It's one of Orson Welles home movie's.
I'm digging it.

[artroraback]

Thanks for sharing this fantastic movie!

One of the funniest bits of dialog ever committed to film: the two agents of the Politzei speaking over each other in a wave of babble, and finishing with the word, "murder." Genius!

[noellschneider]

I could not stop watching it though...

[mishrakaushik]

43:28 i love the dialogues. I am afraid even after 20000 years murder is still a business in the hands of amateurs

[clarehennessey]

I just loved this movie, thank you very much.

[uslines]

Thank you for providing this great film😊 😊in B/W..

[fiorellafenati]

great film, articulated, full of suspense and twists. Orson Welles is the usual Grande.

[christophedevos]

A strange but certainly fascinating movie, more a crossover between film noir and a Beckett play or maybe a metafictional reflection of Welles on his own movies. In its approach it remind me as well of his later pet project, 'The other side of the wind', that was recently reconstructed. Thank you for uploading.

[michaelpessin]

Thanks for all the great 👍 movies...!!

The scenes with Akim Tamiroff are great. They seem to be out of a different movie..almost a Samuel Beckett quality... He's so good he's worth the trip. He's got some old school tricks. Two bad Akim never wrote about his work with Orson. Three films...

[psidvicious]

Very strange movie. I was hoping there would be a final scene that would tie everything together and make sense of it all, but it never happened. Welles did a much more coherent (and only 30 minutes) version of this in the radio show, The Adventures of Harry Lime (The 3rd Man). Welles played Harry, who was the main character, instead of Van Stratten.
