I had no idea there was a regular bare bones edition of the dvd, is it legit?
The Criterion is a bit too much for my wallet, so if it is in fact an official release of the dvd, it could be good news. Any one know how the audio/video compares to the criterion version?

It's official alright. Officially crappy.

Save up and get the Criterion. May not look as good as it did back then, but it's a lot better looking than the cheap public-domain travesties. Most places don't even bother carrying them.

I got the Criterion from DDD for $25.

Alpha DVDs are bad news. Stay away!

Exactly! It's well worth it. Just look at the great extras. It's almost a no-brainer.

Yeah, get the Criterion, it's one of their best.

THE THIRD MAN is in public domain, so you can get crappy transfers of it from any number of sources. The Criterion version is well worth the price -- by a mile the best version available.
