Quotes from Mr. Arkadin
Gregory Arkadin:
Baroness, a fool is a man who pays twice for the same thing.
Gregory Arkadin: I knew what I wanted. That's the difference between us. In this world there are those who give and those who ask. Those who do not care to give... those who do not dare to ask. You dared. But you were never quite sure what your were asking for.

Facts about Mr. Arkadin
Maurice Bessy ghost wrote the Mr. Arkadin novel that was released shortly after the movie premiered. Though Orson Welles is credited as the author, Welles didn't write a single word of it.
Until recently, the version in possession of Corinth Films was generally regarded closest to Orson Welles's cut. In April of 2006, the Criterion Collection released a comprehensive three-DVD set of the film, featuring three versions: the "Corinth" version, "Confidential Report" (the European cut), and the newly edited "Comprehensive" version. Each version contains a few shots or lines that are missing from the other two. Because the film was taken out of Welles' control in post-production, we will never know exactly what he had in mind for the complex flashback structure he spoke of later in his life.
Mr. Arkadin was created from three episodes of the 1951-1952 radio program, The Lives of Harry Lime: Man of Mystery (AKA Greek Meets Greek), Murder on the Rivera and Blackmail Is an Ugly Word. Arakdin is based mostly on the first of the three and centered on a character named Gregory Arkadian. Primary characters and set-ups are taken from the other two episodes.
