Orson Welles’s MR. ARKADIN (a.k.a. CONFIDENTIAL REPORT) tells the story of an elusive billionaire who hires an American smuggler to investigate his past, leading to a dizzying descent into a cold-war European landscape. The film’s history is also marked by this vertigo. This cut is known as the Corinth version and was unearthed by filmmaker-writer Peter Bogdanovich (“This Is Orson Welles,” 1992), in the early 1960s, in the vaults of film distributors M&A Alexander. Based on statements made by Welles and editor Renzo Lucidi, the Corinth version is thought to be the latest extant version to have been under Welles’s control.
