R.I.P. The Third Man - Criterion Blu-ray goes Out Of Print!
No! Say it ain’t so! Criterion Collection discs have a habit of going out of print (AKA O.O.P. for those of us used to seeing the sign on Criterion sites and catalogue listings) and selling out quickly. Until today, no Criterion Blu-ray had suffered this fate. Carol Reed’s The Third Man is the first to fall.
According to Blu-ray.com, both the Blu-ray and the DVD edition of The Third Man have fallen out of print. Now, keep in mind that this doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be able to find the disc on the shelves right away. The Third Man will be available through all retail channels while their supplies last. But when they dry up, Criterion won’t be able to supply with any more. That will be that. No more The Third Man on Blu-ray. Unless you don’t mind paying through the nose on Ebay, that is.
The Third Man Blu-ray disc is currently available at Amazon.com for $23.99. I recommend ordering it up pronto, if you don’t already have a copy. This is one of the finest films ever made and a fantastic Blu-ray presentation.
