Criterion The Third Man OOP???
I have been out of the loop for abit......
I was on Criterion's website and it does not show "The Third Man" as being out of print but all the stores are out of stock and ebay sellers have it listed as "OOP". Did this go out of print and if so when?
Thanks

unless they plan on doing another restoration (there are still a few hairs, and print damage on the current dvd) and add more extras, I'll hold onto my old version.

Yeah I am still trying to find out if this is really OOP or not. And is it has been announced that a reissue is in the works. I would like to pick this up but do not want to pay 50 bucks if another release is coming.

I'll hold onto my release, and will only upgrade if the new CC is better, ala Seven Samurai or Brazi reissues.
Plus, I just bought this a month ago...

Sounds like some nice new extras, if I didn't already have the current release, I'd be all over it. Highly recommended for anyone who does not already have it.

TCM ran the Shadowing The Third Man documentary a year or so ago. It was fantastic! While discussing the movie, they would go to locations in Vienna and project the film onto buildings and sewer walls. I've been wanting a copy of this, so a double dip for me, please.

Criterion updated the specs for the The Third Man Reissue and added even more features. I did not care for the Shadowing the Third Man documentary when it aired on TCM, but the addition of two more docs and a second commentary now make this a must re-buy for me.
