The Complete Mr. Arkadin / Confidential Report / Мистер Аркадин (полное издание) (1955) 3 x DVD9 Criterion Collection
Guy Van Stratten (Robert Arden) is an American hustler who sticks his nose into something that doesn't concern him: a shoot-out near the Milan waterfront. Trying to help a dying man, Guy's lady Mily is whispered two names: Gregory Arkadin (Orson Welles) and Sophie. Realizing the mysterious Arkadin is the world's wealthiest man, the con man sees this as an opportunity to make some serious bread. After following Mr. Arkadin to a resort area in Spain, he makes an intro through his beloved daughter Raina (Paola Mori). Attending a costume party in his own castle, Arkadin absences himself from the party to present a confidential report he has on Guy--exposing him as an idle adventurer and small-time con man. Arkadin then makes Guy an offer he can't refuse, as he's hired to investigate the wealthy man's past. It's explained that an amnesia overcame Arkadin in 1927, which has left him without a memory of his past. Arkadin, in turn for paying well for this assignment, stipulates that this mea ns Guy will never see his daughter again. Guy agrees, and starts his travels in Eastern Europe where Arkadin began his climb to the top. It soon becomes apparent that everyone Guy comes into contact with turns up dead...
