You can pick it up relatively cheap on Amazon UK. I'm probably going to throw it in my cart the next time I pick up some Indicator releases on Amazon UK.

Anyone still interested I've lowered my price to $55 +S&H, this is now a first come first serve deal. PM me.

That's good to know - I had seen that they released a BD with the old scan under the StudioCanal Collection in 2010, which is still on the market. I had thought they may still be active in the US, which it appears they are not.

I think I may just do the same. It turns my copy is actually the older 1999 Criterion release.

I need to sell "The Third Man" by end of today fofr $65, terms of payment will be discussed one on one.

I've decided you will get "Smokey and the Bandit" blu-ray/DVD free. Also, I'm willing to throw in the "Indiana Jones" box set free.

PM me.

Actually, Studio Canal/Lionsgate released The Man Who Fell to Earth in the US this past January, so they are still active here. That said, the odds of The Third Man being released in NA, I think, are pretty slim.

I thank this thread for alerting me to the fact that the UK release is a new 4K scan. Even though I only recently bought the US release, after comparing the caps I had to order the UK disc from Amazon UK. Also threw in the new Lady From Shanghai from Indicator and the 4 disc UK Forever Marilyn collection since it was cheap. Only like $43USD for everything :-)
