How do you like them apples, double-dippers?

The good news is that it looks like The Criterion Collection will be saving us the folly of a double-dip with their release of Mr. Arkadin, the flick from which the quote above is taken (saving those of us who weren't suckered in by any of the crappy public domain discs out there, anyway). Three different versions of Orson Welles's 1959 butchered would-be classic will be presented on Criterion's three-disc The Complete Mr. Arkadin.

Here's the cover, newly posted on Criterion's site, where you can also check out the specs (just click the link above):

I can't wait to get my mitts on this one.
