Yes, it's very cheap in Spain. The film comes in English and Spanish, there are extras but sadly those are all in Spanish.

Spanish is easy enough to understand, even more so when written. As it's based on a Latin language, as is much of English, you can guess 80-90% of it and you'll be right

You can get it quite easily on ebay from a Spanish seller.

I have a very good off-TV version on DVD.
In English with French subs.
Please send me a PM if interested.

"Spanish is easy enough to understand,"

Not when spoken by Welles' assistant Jesus Franco, who has a very strong regional accent and not many teeth. my friend who speaks Spanish fluently found him pretty hard to understand!

I also have a fine copy of this; if anyone is interested, send me a PM...

An actual release does not seem imminent, more's the pity...

That's why I added "even more so when it's written"

I was at the San Sebastian film festival in 2002 with a French lady. Neither of us spoke Spanish. And that's up in Nortern Spain, in Basque Country, where they have an accent all of their own. But after a few days we could communicate with most of the locals in a bit of Spanish with lots of pointing and smiling.

But we soon found that we could easily read the local newspaper produced to give news from the festival. Because French and Spanish are both Latin based and we have borrowed a lot of words that are Latin based, we found we could guess 80+% of what was written. Knowledge of the subject and a small Spanish/English (or Spanish/French) dictionary did the rest
