Which Version?

Netflix lists three different versions of Mr. Arkadin.

Does anybody have an opinion about which is the best one to see? It's always good to go with the Director's Cut, but it doesn't look like Welles ever actually got to do one.

Comprehensive by far. It has as much footage available, and retains the flashback structure. It is a fine, fine restoration. In my top 5 favorite films.

The Criterion/comprehensive cut, definitely. We need this on blu-ray.
